GoreHub.com linked to one of my posts.  I guess they didn’t read the last paragraph.

Condi Rice for VP

The rumors are back.  Here’s my original post on Condi Rice for VP.  While I have a lot of respect for Condi Rice’s accomplishments, I do not believe that she will be an effective VP choice.  She is not a pro-life candidate.  And, neither is Colin Powell.  I would be stunned if Powell was asked and accepted.

McCain has a huge hurdle ahead of him.  His choice could be a blunder as big as GHW Bush selecting Dan Quayle.  I will be uninspired by Pawlenty.  I’ll choke on Mitt Romney.  He may be qualified.  But, I find him to be pompous and phony.  I would be intrigued by Sarah Palin of Alaska, but, she won’t bring many votes.  Florida’s Crist may be interesting.

While I think OneMom is right about the fate of the VP on a failed ticket, Mike Huckabee’s message is important for the nation at this time.  It may be the year that people vote for the VP.  Wishful thinking, probably.

Regardless, McCain better get the pick right and do it quick.  I think he needs to generate some enthusiasm for his campaign before Obama locks up the Democrat nomination.

I’m a minority, finally

I was tossing and turning in bed the other night. I was worried about how I would pay my house note, my car note, my kids college. When suddenly, I had an epiphany. I remembered this clip from Al Gore on 60 minutes. Really, I owe it all to Wattsupwiththat. Yeah, I’ve already posted on it. But, I’ve come across a new spin.

I bolted up from bed. I felt as if a load had been lifted from my shoulders. Finally, I am officially part of a minority group.

I don’t believe Al Gore’s position on Global Warming. And that makes me a minority - declared so by the former Vice President, the self proclaimed PR agent for the planet. Watch the clip. You might be one to. But, I hope not to many of you join me. I might not be a minority anymore.

So what’s next for me? I have to decide which program to apply for first - mortgage relief, free health care, college for my kids?. I really can’t afford to wait to decide which one. There’s probably some I haven’t considered.

All I need is for the “Don’t believe Al Gore” special interest group or a civil litigation lawyer to contact me. I’m sure it will be any day now. Why hasn’t my Senator Levin demanded a congressional inquiry into the infringement of my rights? I guess I’ll keep my day job until I get the call.

Of course, I am not so insensitive to really believe that I am entitled to aid. And, I’m not so insensitive to believe that we shouldn’t aid members of society that have contributed to society (or at least tried).

But, I am insensitive enough to tell Al Gore to stuff it. It is insulting to me that he believes this issue is not open to debate. Lawyers and especially politicians don’t make good scientists. I’m baffled that CBS (or any other media outlet) will not challenge him with opposing data.

Geeezzzz. I hope I can sleep tonight.
