Stolen thoughts…

Are you reading Voenix Rising?  Why on earth not, the man has a rapier wit and an ability to get his thoughts down onto paper that I truly envy.  I find myself agreeing with him more often than not, laughing at his posts and “borrowing” his better ideas.  Today, I fear, is no different.  His post on the Presidential Candidates really hit home and for those of you who don’t read his blog (again, why not?) I’m posting the relevant quotes.

Why do we need outside enemies when we can destroy ourselves from within so much more effectively?

George Bush, Dick Cheney and their minions have accomplished in eight short years what Al Queda couldn’t even dream of doing in fifty: completely eradicating over 200 years of Democracy and Constitutional law in the United States and turning our country from the shining beacon of freedom in the world to a leader in state sponsored terrorism. Bin Laden (if he’s even alive) is surely sitting in a cave somewhere laughing his ass off. “Thanks for all the help, George! You’ve been great! Kisses!”

And while that monkey-faced-fuck-knob (thanks, Donnie!) in the White House has the lowest approval rating of any president as long as they’ve been polling (lower than even Nixon before he resigned), the Democrats still do nothing to remove him from office—or even attempt to reign him in. What the fuck are they afraid of? By refusing to exercise their Constitutional responsibility, they are giving tacit approval to everything he has done over the past eight years. Nice.

I may not see eye to eye with him on the Hillary Clinton issue, but his point is well taken.  IF her actual strategy is to ensure a McCain victory for her benefit in 2012 we all need to kiss our asses goodbye right now.

Hillary Clinton will not win the Democratic nomination, much less the presidency.

Because of her refusal to accept defeat and an almost pathological desire to destroy Barack Obama, she is all but guaranteeing a Republican win in November. Is this what she wants? Is it because she thinks that by subjecting the country to four more years of neocon rule she’ll get the Oval Office in 2012? I’ve got news for the bitch: if we end up with McCain as president this year, there won’t be an election in 2012, because the first thing that raving lunatic will do is nuke Iran, setting off World War III, killing us all.

McCain’s legendary temper scares the bejeebus out of me, he will cause the end of the world as we currently know it, of this I have no doubt.  The religious right should be thrilled, McCain will be the continuation of a presidency with the ultimate goal of ensuring the end game of a poorly written fiction epic.  Too bad we’ll all be dead and unable to celebrate their “victory”.
