The Part(ies) Over — Part II…..

Well, the Libertarian Party had their convention over the weekend, the party hopefuls were sorted out, the delegates voted – and Bob Barr is the new nominee for President.

I’m disappointed.

Barack Obama is the likely new President — I believe the American public has had a snootfull of having their rights trampled by the likes of Bush and Co; (he entered office with $1.25/gal gasoline and no enemies; he’ll leave office with $4.00-4.50/gal. a likelihood, having created more enemies than we can possibly ever kill off, and with the Constitution – that ‘goddamned piece of paper’ – a shambles).

I’ll vote for Ron Paul in November — Obama is still pandering to the Cubans in Florida (he can’t seem to figure he can get elected without them); the likes of Al Sharpton, and anyone else who’ll get him some votes – and as for Hillary, while her likelihood of a nomination is moot, I think enough people remember the first Clinton administration – Travelgate, Whitewater, Blowjobgate, and all the ‘friends’ who committed suicide or died under mysterious circumstances – to trust her with the keys to the asylum.

We’ve done a splendid job, yet again, of turning the election of the free-world’s leadership into another tawdry popularity-contest.

No need to worry.

With things as they are, it won’t be long before China and Saudi Arabia own us outright, and we become cheap labor for the up-and-coming gazillionaires and megabusinesses of Asia and the Middle East.

Think Great Britain – in 1918.

Me? I’ll still promote the concept of democracy — voting for a candidate, rather than against someone else — but I imagine that this idea, just like so many others I have, are a thing of the past….

Until later….
