Now that the Mud has Dried
March 01, 2008
Regardless of party affiliation one has to wonder when the mud-slinging on the Democratic side of the fence will clear as we head toward the end of the year. From my standpoint it seems that Obama has for the most part and in paraphrasing a favorite movie, "Let the small shit, truly slide!" The comment of his opponent in terms of having made a Xerox copy of someone elses words not only gained the disdain of the forum attendants but of the democratic party and the nation.
"Lions and Tigers and Bears. . .Oh my!"
Reading a short time ago how the accuser became the accused as individuals researched some of her past retorts and found a striking similarity to some phrasing that her partner had made during his Presidency among others. Personally I have serious issues with many politicians and every so often find a bit of refreshment, a window of opportunity per say opens to enlighten me to understand that someone does know what it may be like. But then that may also be my medications? I do know as an individual that this chaos, this squabbling and mud smearing really needs to end. Taking the opinion that in order to know truly what you have the abilities to do and not to do once you take office I then submit that all campaign promises can be nothing more than what they are at the time. The belief of a candidate and the way they form the words to make the promises. And I have heard the term lobbies and committees and sub-committees. And I have watched the news, portrayals in movies, I have read the tabloids and am old enough to remember the first President's on television. I understand somewhat the nature of human nature. To me it's simple. Who shows in words, deed or substance present or past of the best intent.
If I were an author, editor or reporter the issue of using words that do not, did not belong to me is a very serious matter. To the student plagiarizing substance is a captial offense. For a politician I believe it will be a given. The snappy catch-phrases and sentences are again mere fluff for the American People. Instead of our focusing on the words, lets look at the individuals, their political track record and more importantly our 'gut' feeling as to who will serve the interests of this nation with honor and integrity. I know, they are politicians and this is a stretch.
And it seems I was totally incorrect. We have what seems to me two children (Democratic Candidates) in a sandbox and only one toy (said nomination) available. With kids however the scuffle for the toy ends when the toy is not of interest or the more aggressive of the two takes the toy from the other. Wait aren't we the toy?

For too long I've messed with the wiring in my head. Now it shorts out more oft than not. But at my age I just sit and enjoy the sparks. RJM '07
