Adios!!!

Today I wave goodbye to the Political Ad. This morning I wondered why and how they have embedded themselves so deeply under my skin against a raw nerve but then I figured it out: this campaign has been going on for well over four years.

Think I'm joking? During the last election the Republicans did not elect to have anyone run against Bush. The reason was obvious: the less they had the idiot speak in public (and God help him, debate) the less chance of the people asking themselves "is this idiot the right man for the job?" The ploy worked. Kerry failed to rally the Democratic faithful and Rove's dirty tricks won the day, more or less and now we find ourselves in the midst of the greatest financial disaster our Country has ever faced (possibly with the exception of The Great Depression, but we're not through this one yet people).

Not long after W stammered his way trough the Oath of Office, where he once again pledged to defend a document he does not believe in or recognize, the campaigns on the Democratic side ramped up starting with John Edwards. Hillary Clinton became "the thing that would not quit in the face of insurmountable losses" and that carried the Democratic campaign all the way to Puerto Rico, the very last territory to vote in the Primary. After that Hillary still wouldn't leave, crying all the time that she should have been elected and she was now broke because of all the money she "loaned" her campaign and, "oh, wouldn't you please donate to my campaign even though I already lost?" Pathetic.

After the whole McCain/Obama thing got started and later Palin brought in a whole new breath of (fresh?) air into the mix. Now, I think, most people see Palin as dangrously unqualified and not the brightest light in the room, which is really saying somethign when you stand next to W.

So tonight we find out the fate of our great nation. I already voted so now I just sit back and watch and hopefully toast "my" candidate's victory tonight!

It suddenly crossed my mind that I should have organized some kind of rally. Oh well, too late now.
