Opinion: I have had the pleasure of voting for candidates of five different political parties in my career. That is based on the belief that the candidate not the party is of value to the American People. In the 2008 election I am at a loss. There is not a single candidate running for whom I could vote for in good consciense.
The Republicans are a group do nothings, two faced, with little expertise in delivering a speech. It is like watching Bush and Gore debating. Cigar store indians would be more exciting. McCaine wants us to become the next state in Mexico, Romney has no clue what the American people want, Huckabee is a Bible thumping religious zealot, and Paul......is just Paul.
The Democrats have a different approach. Two candidates who do reasonable well in their presentations. Both of which I could never vote for. Clinton.....is Clinton. She may be a sharp lady but any woman who willingly puts up with an adulterer and philanderer just tor ride to the White House is no better than her husband who disgraced his office. Obama is playing the role of Elmer Gantry. He preaches universal health care, peace, love, and pixie dust with no detailed plan as to how to achieve any of it. He is a well spoken, impressive, product of the drug adled 60's. He is a proponent of BIG GOVERNMENT and wants to be the Pied Piper of Washington trailed by a bunch of lemmings as they race to the edge of the cliff.
With all of the savvy people in our country it is indeed a sad time when these dunderheads actually consider themselves qualified to be President. For these reasons I will be writing myself in on my ballot for President. Common sense a president shall make. This bunch has nothing to offer.

Rhee! Rhee! Rhee!
Dateline: 'Rhee granted firing authority' by Emerling (Washington Times) 1/9/08
A ray of sunshire and a glint of sanity again springs from the DC Government and it school system. The most dismal school system in the nation funded by more dollars per student than most any other is finally seeing the light. Ms. Rhee will now be allowed to sack the slackers and shirkers who inhabit the school system. Like all school systems in the Metro area it is hugely top heavy with layer upon layer of redundant bureaucrats shuffling paper from one pile to the other to justify their apparent worth. Maybe with the paper shufflers sent packing the educators will be allowed to teach for probably the first time in their careers.
After Ms. Rhee gets a good start in DC maybe she could visit the Republic of Montgomery County and take out the trash in the Superintendents Office. We have some students that need saving as well.

Who cares....really?
Dateline: 'Hopes high, tears flow in N.H.' by Bellantoni (Washington Times) 1/8/08
Well I guess that the media gets it wrong every now and then even though they write the scripts. Who really cares what happens in New Hamshire during the election? Only the media. If it were not for the Electoral College, New Hamshipre and most of the rest of us would be irrelevant in American politics.
I watch the candidates closely. Mr. Obama is particularily interesting. I enjoy a person who speaks well and with passion. He speaks of change but for the life of me I do not see the details of what change he wishes. I read two major newspapers each day and I don't see it. Maybe I missed that issue. His hope, change, Pixie dust, and Peter Pan mentality has me worried. The American people want details and in this election even more than most. I have seen 'Elmer Gantry' and Mr. Obama is no Burt Lancaster.
This is a dismal group of candidates and the independent prospects are even worse. There are no Abe's, Teddy, FDR, Ronnie, or Jack's in the mix. Our enemies south of the border must be licking their chops. As of today I plan to write myself in for President in 08.
