Maybe the two guys running for president, John (He Did Say That) McCain and Barack (At Least I’m Not The Other Guy) Obama, should just use the feet they both have stuck firmly in their mouths as pacifiers and suck on them like the big babies they are and keep quiet. On Good Morning America today, Obama proved he can’t even defend himself right. Asked about negative ads, Obie said:
“If we’re going to ask questions about, you know, who has been promulgating negative ads that are completely unrelated to the issues at hand, I think I win that contest pretty handily,” Obama said.
Hey, who am I to argue? Meanwhile, AP reports that in Jacksonville, Fl., McCain commented about his Lipstick/Pig-gate ad:
Did Barack Obama really call Sarah Palin a pig, as a John McCain ad leads people to believe? “No,” McCain said Monday. The Republican presidential nominee defended the ad anyway, saying Obama “chooses his words very carefully.”
So, I guess that while Obama didn’t call Palin a “pig,” he implied that she was. Any way you look at it, a pig’s a pig, right?
Geez.
These are our only two choices?
Of course, there’s always Joe (Somebody Rescue Me) Biden, a guy you can count on to speak his mind, whether you want him to or not:
Democratic vice presidential candidate Joe Biden, campaigning in North Carolina where black votes could help swing the state to the Democrats, said today that electing a black person to the White House would be transformative.
“That will be a transformative event in American politics and internationally,” Biden said. “That all by itself will be significant.”
Now, vote for the black guy, dammit, transform America. Tell ‘em Joe said so.

Hey, no sweat, ea, welcome back. I just wanted you to know I did do some research and made it available here. There are 5 or 6 more candidates I found, too, but I’m not sure anybody who’s not related to them would consider casting a vote for them.
I was without access for a couple of days and missed your post. Don’t mean to be redundant. Also, you are such a prolific poster, I am barely able to keep up with you!
ea, I’ve posted some of the other candidates You Tube clips just a few days ago.
I’m not endorsing anybody, so I didn’t include them in this post. The only thing I endorse is that people make up their own minds. But there’s only so much I will do to promote choices.

There are other choices. There are other parties. I recommend that people who think of themselves as progressive consider the Green Party.
