I’m a long-life Democrat and am beginning to agree with Temecula Guy. I know that writing local officials and politicans has much more of an impact.

Call me jaded, but I think the president staffs the government with friends and cronies (sheeeshhh…we all remember “Brownie” after Katrina, right?) Plum diplomatic posts are awarded to $upporter$, etc. Then, backrooms deals are cut that support the President’s $upporter$ and agenda.

I’m not wild about ANY of the dem candidates. As a woman, I really want to like Hillary. I loved Bill (much to my husband’s dismay). But, I dont think she can really win.

If you look at their websites, with their issue positions, it’s almost laughable. John Edwards wants to “end poverty in a generation” along with other grandiose (and unrealistic) goals. Yeah, right. They all blow a lot of smoke at us…and nothing ever really changes.

The one candiate that scares the CRAP out of me is Huckabee…I’m tired of mixing religion and politics, and dont really want to see a Baptist minister in the Oval Office. Especially one with a son that tortures animals for fun (http://www.newsweek.com/id/78241)

Sorry for the rant. I’d better go eat something. I’m hypoglycemic and cranky…
