I don’t think the republicans are worried about fund raising at this point.  In my opinion, the overwhelming majority of republicans and independents will never consider voting for any of the democrat candidates. The important fund raising season begins next year after the primaries.  It is likely that the republicans will far exceed democrat fund raising then.  They will then fully support their nominee and elect him.  The defections from the democrat party will be huge when they enter the voting booth and their choice will be limited to the socialist Clinton or the more acceptable but inexperienced Obama.

Sigh… Welcome to Pol-mart!

The presidential camaign has now become a whoring contest. It’s not about what the candidates say, or how many voters like them. It’s about how much money these whores can collect.

I watch the PBS Newshour when I’m not working an afternoon shift. It airs on the government-run channel here that shows foreign news programmes. (So strange to see an hour of Lebanese news, in Arabic, in the middle of Oz…) The last report on the U.S. presidential race on Lehrer was all about money, Money, MONEY! Voters and issues were not mentioned at all. Just “how many millions of dollars.” Totally blatant.

America should stop pretending to be a democracy. It’s now a place where public offices are sold to the highest bidders. You need to invent a new word for the system, like “buy-offracy.”

What a ridiculous waste of money.

A country that cannot afford to provide all citizens with even basic health insurance doesn’t seem to have any problem coming up with a few hundred MILLION to blow on HYPE, HOOPLA and HORSESHIT.

While I offer congratulations on your Independence Day 2007, I have serious concerns that you have that many more in store for you. Once Americans learn how to look after their OWN citizens properly only then will they have earned the right to tell others how to organize themselves.
