Not Politics as Usual

Why, oh why, do I have to like Barak Obama so darn much? I mean, he certainly does not view the world the same way I do. He's a big government guy, and God help us if he ever has to appoint a Supreme Court justice. But darnit, he's a great speaker. I just really like listening to him in interviews or speeches. Hillary makes my skin crawl when I hear her voice. Same with John McCain. He just annoys me to know end.

I love listening to Mike Huckabee talk too, he's a very good speaker as well. Too bad he won't last. I'm still voting for him in April, but right now I honestly can't say who I will vote for in November.

I think the most important issues to me personally are the abortion issue, which unfortunately is unlikely to change very much, and the estate tax, which is an atrocity. As Whoopi Goldberg said, the estate tax is the definition of taxation without representation. I can't believe she and I agree on something so passionately.
