Political Farce in Iowa

I thought the Democrat candidates' speeches after the Iowa caucuses were entertaining. Huckabee was the only Republican that I saw speak and I thought he was boring.

Hillary gave a victory speech after coming in third. She seemed so exhilarated she must have been expecting no better than fourth. It's really funny watching her try to sound presidential. Standing behind her Bill had to be thinking, why is this happening to me? Speaking of Bill, did you notice most of his former cabinet standing behind Hillary? Change? What change? Hillary seems to think it's really important that we know she will be ready to serve on her first day in office. Frankly, if she got elected I wouldn't mind if she spent the first several months redecorating the White House -- that is if she keeps Bill out of the Oval Office.

John-Boy raised demagoguery to a new level. He wants to smack down all those evil corporations and rescue all the homeless and otherwise downtrodden. Never mind that without those corporations all of us would be downtrodden (and he wouldn't have anyone left to sue). Never mind that the last thing most of the homeless want is to be forced into a structured lifestyle. He said that if he were president he wouldn't let companies like Maytag move its factories abroad. Never mind that in doing so he could make their appliances unaffordable to the people he claims to be so concerned about. He claimed that there are 200,000 former soldiers sleeping under bridges and on grates. Does he expect us to believe that, in an economy that provides jobs for 10 million illegal aliens, these homeless former soldiers (if they exist) couldn't find a job if they wanted one?

B. Hussein made it very clear that he is the candidate of change. What happened to hope? He puts a big sign on the front of his podium with the single large word, Change. I can't help but hope (there it is!) that someone will approach him with a dollar and ask for four quarters. He talked a lot about change but said little about what he will change and nothing about how he will do it. Most of the Iowa voters must be so fed up with the current state of national affairs that they will accept anything as long as it's different.

I've said all along that Hillary won't be president; now I'm ready to say that neither will she be the Democrat nominee. It will be either Obama or Edwards and probably Obama. Either way the Republicans will retain the presidency. I think that neither Edwards nor Obama will be taken seriously enough by the voters to win in November.

I have no idea who the Republican nominee will be. I hope it won't be Huckabee.
