I can't beleive it's that time again! Political commercials every ten minutes of every hour of every day.

"I'm Mitt Romney and I approve this message."

"I'm Rudy Giullani, blah, blah, blah!

I don't know about the rest of you, but my decision to vote for a candidtate has zip to do with their political ads. I'm voting for the candidate who is the best liar. Really. Oh come on, you can't really believe all that crap they're spouting? Really?

Let's take just one look at just one of the liars, uhhh, candidates.

Hillary Clinton. Okay, she can give us lower taxes, a national health care plan, yada, yada, yada.

Yeah? Really? Then how come she didn't give it to us the last time she was in the White House? She had eight long years of running the country while her Hubby in Chief ran interns. If she has all these wonderful ideas that will create a perfect America, why didn't she give them to slick Willy when she had his ear, which apparently is all she had of him most of the time.

But, Bill's extra curricular activities are not the issue, empty promises are. And empty promises are all we ever get from presidential candidates.

Which brings me to my question.

How will you chooses your candidate?

Will you vote for Clinton based on her somewhat spotty reputation, or will you vote for her simply because she's a woman and you are a feminist or a feminist supporter? Is that a good enough reason to put our future in her hands? Just so we can show the world how enlightened and modern thinking we are?  God, one can only hope not.

So, how about Barrack Obama?  An intelligent, well spoken , charismatic gentleman, who graciously returns Clinton's barbs and outright false accusations in a calm, soft-spoken voice. He doesn't have the political saavy Clinton has, but by the same token he doesn't display the  self-important sense of entitlement that Clinton displays, either.

So, will you cast your vote for him because he's a black man? Putting Obama in the White House will show the world how far we've come in race relations, how truly advanced we've become. Is that sufficent reason to put Obama in the White House? Actually, that makes more sense than electing Clinton, and setting you know who loose on the interns again.

Mitt Romney? Well, he's got the business saavy to fix the financial problems of this country, but does he have the necessary experience to handle world affairs? I don't think so.

John McCain? A war hero, an experienced politican, wise to ways of Washington, but he can't seem to make up his mind whose side he's on. Is he a Republican or is he a closet Democrat?

The rest of them, well. John Edwards is a nice enough guy, but I think that is his biggest downfall. He's too nice. Politics is dirty business, and if you aren't willing to sling a little mud, then you better not step into the mudhole.

Mike Huckabee? All I can say about him is.... Who? Before this campaign, did you ever hear of him? Really?

So, what are we do. I think I have the perfect solution to this whole nasty affair. We'll have one party representative run as President and one as Veep. That way, neither side has the upper hand, and neither one can point fingers and/or sling mud during the next election. If the country goes to hell, we can blame both sides. If it comes together nicely and prosperously, we can applaud both sides. Works for me.

To me the perfect ticket will be: McCain as Pres. Obama as veep. Trust me we can do much worse, and we more than likely will.

Please God, any woman in the White House but her. Hey Oprah, you interested?
