JOE BIDEN SELECTED BY BARACK OBAMA FOR VICE-PRESIDENT
GOOD-BYE DICK CHENEY

Go Barack and Joe!

BARACK YOU ROCK…ON THE DAILY SHOW w JON STEWART LAST NIGHT

Barack and Jon were great together on The Daily Show last night. I like them both individually and together there was a visible comfortability factor. Before Barack came on the set, Jon said he is still working on getting Hillary Clinton to come on the show. That will be an interesting comparison to Barack's way in handling what others would have stiffened over with Jon's jabs and stuff in the news the last few days.

What a breath of fresh air. Will it happen? And who would be his choice for VP? Hmmm...

I don’t like those debate things that much. The YouTube one was interesting. And I liked the AFL-CIO one. Sort of. I have come to be intolerant of being “sold” things. Commercials that are hard-sell turn me off. Campaign messages that are contrived and try so hard to sell me a President with clips are a turn-off too. But I like the way Barack is smooth. It’s a classy smooth that I can actually enjoy. And I like that he thinks. Thinks! Imagine a President who can think and has a moral compass.

My visceral reaction to Mr. Bush is repulsive and depressing. I want a President who thinks. In a way, with the multiple messes that George has us in, I can’t fathom anyone wanting to become President and step into The Mess.

I just wish that we would have 90% of the voting population actually show up and vote.

Barack in Iowa

I caught part of the CNN specials, God's Warriors:

http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2007/gods.warriors/

Tonight’s Christianity segment was the most interesting to me, but I had a Darfur Lobbying Conference Call and missed an hour of it. Karl Rove used the Religious fundamentalists in both of the Bush runs for President. They are mobilized and energized. And as the moderate tonight said, the moderates are …well, moderate. Which means in the end that they aren’t so energized to become involved like the more dogmatic do when it comes to voting and going after politicians for their focused agendas of homosexuality, abortion and no sex unless it’s married sex.

I just would like to pose one question: Why is it that abortion is such a lightening rod moral issue for the fired up fundamentalists and yet genocide gets no mentions by them? I attended a Wednesday night church service in my childhood congregation this past summer when I was in Indiana to attend my dad’s funeral. And the subject was the Christian’s role in politics. It was a Bible study class, actually, not the Wednesday night testimony nights that I remembered from childhood. Those were interesting meetings. When asked for an issue that the government is wrong about, I mentioned the Patriot Act and another lady very intensely attacked the subject of abortion. Later I mentioned the Darfur genocide. The only one there who seemed to respond like he/she knew of the genocide was the minister. Well, praise the Lord for that anyway.

It seems that the most intense fundamentalist Christians have issues that they want to politicize, abortion, homosexuality, one man + one woman = marriage, no sex until marriage, no stem cell research… but no talk about poverty, children going hungry in the so-called richest country in the world, genocide, forced child labor or soldiers, slavery today, justice……

Having been raised in the fundamentalist Christian mentality I do have a perspective on it. But the subjects that I think are vital include those I listed just above. Not the homosexuality, etc list.

As a couple of the Jon Stewart audience members called out tonight:

BARACK, YOU ROCK!

SCOOTER LIBBY, MARTHA STEWART, OJ SIMPSON, GW BUSH AND JUSTICE

I have basic questions about the President of the United States removing Scooter Libby's, the Vice-President's Former Chief of Staff, sentence. Tell me again why Martha Stewart went to prison? Tell me why Scooter Libby isn't going to prison? I don't know the complete details about either one of these people's legal stories, but I do know when I feel my sense of justice is being disrepected and made a sideshow.

Link to Scooter Libby’s trial timeline:

Link to Martha Stewart’s trial:

http://www.courttv.com/trials/stewart/index.html

Link to the OJ Simpson trial:

http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/Simpson/simpson.htm

Martha Stewart did nothing in her role to harm our national government and yet she went to prison and had to wear an ankle monitor while at her home. Scooter Libby and his boss, Dick Cheney, make me feel like I've been taken as a fool. I don't see how the President of the United States wins in commuting or throwing out the sentence for Scooter Libby. What use is the court of law if the President can break it himself? President Bush lies to the American people and he gets away with it. Where's the outrage? This man, we were told, is a great unifier. I don't think that is true. He is, however, a great divider.

It's who you know. Martha Stewart didn't work for Dick Cheney. Okay, supposedly she lied. But George Bush lies repeatedly and he gets a pass. This just sticks in my throat.

Then there’s the over-publicized court case of OJ Simpson. Innocent? Really? Is this court thing really working? I mean it’s a nice idea. But isn’t it a requirement to have people of honesty and integrity running these “nice ideas”?

I need to have just a little chance to think our courts of so-called justice have some shred of dignity. What a disaster to have a President and Vice-President who are so confounded about right and wrong, justice, compassion and history. The saying “if you can’t lead, get out of the way” comes to mind.
