In My Not-so-Humble Opinion

I've been getting complaints that this here blog is B.O.R.I.N.G. Yes, I suppose all the details of my humdrum life are boring. So why did my blog used to be less boring? I think it's because I used to offer my opinion on things, and then I started not wanting to piss anybody off or seem too "opinionated" or something. So perhaps to liven things up I will start offering more opinions on things. Some may be very informed and well thought out opinions. Some may be very off the cuff. I'm sure plenty of people will disagree with me. Plenty of people will not care at all about the topic. What the hell....

Where should I start? Hmm....how 'bout presidential politics. You can argue with me, I may or may not choose to argue back. Remember, these are just my cold, hard, opinions.

On the left:
Hillary is a self-promoting, power hungry bitch. She doesn't really care deep down what's good for this country, she cares what's good for her. Too bad she'll probably win.

Barak Obama seems like a pretty good guy but with some faulty liberal ideals. I think he may actually care what's good for this country, but I don't agree with many of his platforms.

John Edwards is a wuss, and a clueless one at that.

Ok on the right:
I don't like John McCain. McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform turned me off on him. He just seems old and stiff.

I like Rudy Guiliani but it bothers me that he cheated on his wife and was estranged from his kids and has had a generally messed up personal life. His postions on abortion and gay marriage don't bother me as much, but I'm not sure he's got the skillz to be President.

So far I like Mit Romney but I don't know enough about his policies either. It doesn't bother me that he changed his mind on abortion, people have a right to change their mind on something major like that, as long as it's not a back and forth whenever it's convenient thing. I don't care that he's LDS, most Mormons I've met are really good people...with the exception of Andy Reid's kids....what the hell is up with them?

My neighbor wants me to support Mike Huckabee. I think my sister does too. From what I hear he's got the right positions on family values, but isn't as firm on immigration as most die-hard conservatives. Personally, after Bill Clinton I'm wary of any governor from the deep south. Texas doesn't count, Texas is like it's own country. Anyway I could support Mike Huckabee, but....

I like Ron Paul. So far I like what I've heard from him. I like that he's an OB/GYN, and a strongly prolife one at that. I like that he's in favor of less government, hands-off government. Not sure I like his position on immigration, he seems a little TOO uncompassionate, don't give the illegals squat. At least he's consistant on that, I guess.

Anyway I'm a long way off from deciding who to vote for. So that's my opinion of the day. Many more to follow.
