Tittie-babies

In my lifetime, it's been mostly liberals ... and mostly Democrats ... that bellyache, moan, complain, and whine when things don't go there way.

Remember the 2000 election?

In case you forgot, the Republican candidate, George W. Bush, won the election.

Since the very first Presidential election in 1789, the person with the most electoral votes -- not popular vote -- becomes President. (Yes, I know. If no one has a majority, the House of Representatives gets to elect the President. Like what happened in 1825.)

Anyway, Al Gore and his supporters couldn't stand that they didn't get their way. And they bitched, moaned, and complained until ... heck, they're still bitching, moaning, and complaining.

But that's how many liberals are. Oh, not all. Some are fine people that have honest disagreements. But those are rare. Most are whining little tittie-babies.

However, this year, I've seen a situation that's unusual.

Conservatives ... and I am a conservative ... aren't getting their way in the primaries.

Arizona Senator John McCain isn't really a conservative. He's supported some conservative causes. And he's supported our President, even when President Bush's popularity has fallen. He's supported the troops throughout, despite predictions that it would doom his career.

No, McCain isn't a true conservative. And it looks like he might just be the Republican nominee.

Former governors Mike Huckabee of Arkansas and Mitt Romney of Massachusetts, are more conservative, with Romney being the more conservative of the two. But neither has much of a chance to be the presidential nominee.

Of course, there's Ron Paul who's just plain nuts, as are most of his supporters. I try to ignore him, because he's worthy of being ignored.

Anyhow, McCain will likely be the nominee.

And many conservatives are getting their panties in a wad about it.

I'm not. I'm hanging loose. So to speak.

I'm not in favor of John McCain, but he's a darn sight better than whatever the Democrats will put up against him in November.

So, I'll have no problem voting for him. I mean, consider the alternatives.

Some conservatives are all whining about McCain. Some say they'll vote for the Democrat. Other's say they'll just sit home and not vote.

Neither is a very mature response to not getting one's way.

But it sure fits what a whiny tittie-baby would do.

Why I'm voting for Barack Obama

I was supporting Fred Thompson in the race for President.

But Fred dropped out. And we're left with four on the GOP side: John McCain, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, and Ron Paul.

We can strike my voting for Ron Paul because ... well ... he's an idiot. As are many of his supporters. Not all, but the lion's share. Them folks is nuts.

So, that leaves McCain, Romney, and Huckabee.

Which to vote for?

Quite honestly, it really doesn't matter. I'm not a huge fan of any of them. One's about as good as the other, in my book.

On the Democratic side, though, there is a difference.

You got Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton, an unqualified liberal.

And you got Barack Hussein Obama, an unqualified liberal.

Of these two, which is the worst?

Obama.

Oh, I despise Hillary Clinton. Ain't got no use for the woman. But she'd actually be a better president than Obama. The one area where they really differ is Iraq.

I believe Obama means it when he says he'd pull troops out.

I don't believe Clinton means it.

I think she'll say whatever it takes to get the nomination, then afterwards, say what it takes to get elected. Then, if for no other reason than she's not a dummy -- evil isn't dumb, after all -- she'll continue the mission. She won't pull the troops out until the job's done.

And that's why I'm voting for Obama.

The state here has an open primary. You don't have to be a member of a party to vote in that party's primary. You can vote in the Democratic or the Republican primary, either one. But not both, of course.

I'm not a registered Republican. And a darn sure ain't no registered Democrat.

I'm a registered voter with no party affiliation.

And I'm a conservative.

And say what you will, McCain, Huckabee, or Romney -- any of them -- will be a darn sight better than anything the Democrats are running.

Yes, despite what some Republicans or conservatives are saying, there is a difference between the three Republicans and the Democrats. (Yes, I'm omitting Ron Paul. Because he's nuts.)

I don't think Obama stands a snowball's chance in Hell of winning the presidency.

Not because he's Black. Sure, there are some that would not vote for him because he's Black. But there's also some that would vote for him just because he's black.

But his race won't get him elected ... or keep him from getting elected.

What will happen is that, should he be the nominee of the Democratic party, most Americans ... those with some sense, anyway ... will realize that he's ... well ... just not qualified.

He's a liberal's wet dream.

And a conservative's, too. Because his nomination guarantees a Republican win in November.

So, for that reason alone, I plan to vote for Obama in today's primary.
