The 2008 Presidential Campaign Dilemma.

I’ve been voting now for almost 50 years and never before have I come to such an impasse over whom to vote for. I don’t feel any of the candidates are qualified to be president and shouldn’t be president!

Barack:

Barack has a problem with his radical pastor Reverend Wright...and he will continue to have a problem if he becomes the Democrat candidate. There is no way Barack could be a regular church member for 20 years and not know what kind of hate-filled sermons were being preached in his church. He was and still is unwilling to stand up to his bigoted minister who for 20 years denounced from the pulpit whites, Jews and the State of Israel. And not only did Rev Wright preach like this from the pulpit, the church newsletter, "Trumpet Newsmagazine, of which Wright is the chief executive officer, published an article written by Wright in which he described the crucifixion of Jesus as 'public lynching Italian style.'" He also wrote, according to CNSNews.com, "The Italians for the most part looked down their garlic noses at the Galileans." Finally, CNN reported on March 28th that, "They [church bulletins] also quote a historian who said that 'what the Zionist Jews did to the Palestinians is worse than what the Nazis did to the Jews.'" Now, Barack says that IF he had known about his pastor’s radical views he would not have stayed with that church. So I have a problem with Barack’s lack of perception of the world around him and it makes me very uncomfortable to think of him in a presidential position.

Hillary:

As Hillary Clinton came under increasing scrutiny for her story about being under sniper fire in Bosnia, one question that arose was whether she has engaged in a pattern of lying.The now-retired general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, who supervised Hillary when she worked on the Watergate investigation, says Hillary’s history of lies and unethical behavior goes back farther – and goes much deeper – than anyone realizes.Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.
I’ve also watch Hillary change her viewpoints and values from one venue to another many times to match whatever she feels the crowd wants to hear. This really disturbs me the most. Very successful con artists master this technique.

The McCain Mutiny:

Every time I see John McCain he reminds me of Captain Queeg in the classic Cain Mutiny movie. He has a violent temper as witnessed by many in congress over the years. And he isn’t giving me any good reason to vote for him. I also feel he’s too old to begin running our country and even more disturbing is his admission that he doesn’t understand much about economics – yikes! No, I wouldn’t want to see him as president.

So here I am with nobody to vote for, but I don’t want to not vote at all. What a predicament!
