It is going to be a long year.

I was watching the morning news today, and an ad for the clerk of court came on. It was a political ad for the Nov 6, 2007 elections. November 2007!!! Geez, it is the clerk of court, who really cares about the clerk of court except for the clerk of court? Why do we have to endure this crap for the next 8 months.

This is going to be a very tiring year. We have all these presidential candidates that are crisscrossing the country 1 year before any state primary. Every speech is filled with enough acrimony to drive the most optimistic person into a deep depression. I am already weary at hearing all the garbage that they all are spewing, but we are going to have to listen to this for more than a year. God help us.

…but they are Democrats so it is ok.

The title of this article should have been Former Democratic Presidents Carter and Clinton call for ‘A New Baptist Covenant’. Here is a prime example of a political party using religion to further their agenda. The key is in the last paragraph.. “Democrats have made winning over “faith voters” a major election strategy.” Religion should not be a “major election strategy”. I guess the Democrats really don’t understand what it is to be a person of faith.

It is sad really, because one party practices religion and the other uses religion to their own purposes. You also see a hypocrisy here, if these were former Republican Presidents, it would be on the front page of the Washington Post and the ACLU would be filing some kind of law suit.
