Thoughts: Hypocrisy In Action

You know, I try not to talk bad about people because I understand that not everyone is quite as level or big headed as me...just kidding.

but sometimes, you just gotta take a stand and put your cards on the table and tell it like it is...this is one of those times.

I usually try and keep my politics to myself although most of you who know me know where I stand on things, but this time, I just gotta lay into someone....so get ready for a rant...and click the pic for a better idea of how I feel about political hypocrites.

That "someone" is Oregon senator Gordon Smith(R). Ok, here's a guy that I didn't like to begin with, this clown looks like a television evangelist straight out of Oral Roberts University. He's always taken the total right when it comes to ANY legislation that has to do with helping the poor, the sick and the elderly. If it's beneficial to multimillion corporations or anyone else that can fund his campaigns, then he's all for it. I think he's even had our supposed president over a few times to help him campaign (i.e. make him more money than he knows what to do with). So why am I so adamant about attacking this loser? Here's why, http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16115379/ Senator Smith now says that the Iraqi war is "criminal" and an outrage even though he's been gung ho from the start to send our boys over there to destroy the country (not that the soldiers themselves are personally destroying it mind you...but more ol' G.W. and his fantasy of being Superman moreso). He's voted for anything and everything that would support keeping our troops there "until the job is done". So why the about face now? well, let's see.....hmmm.....Republicans have seem to have lost favor with the public after being decimated in the last election....more people are coming to their senses (71%) and starting to think GW may have not been totally up front with us.....big surprise! Sheesh! I coulda told you that 5 years ago!

So now that everyone seems to be leaning toward the left, this has Gordy worried about his own political future....what to do....what to do.....I know! How about acting like I'm feeling the same as the majority and chastizing the war and the policies that got us into this mess...even though he helped those policies with his support and pompous attitude towards Iraq. I could go on and on, but what's the point....this guy's a jerk, let's get more of HIS kind out of office so we can finally start concentrating on helping our own instead of leaving others worse off.

On the same line, I'd just like to say that if ANYONE deserves to be the next president, it's our other Senator from Oregon Ron Wyden....now here's a real human who constantly devotes his time to help the elderly and work towards more affordable and accessible health care. I don't know Senator Wyden personally, but I vote for him every chance I can...in a Capitol full of stuffed shirts and arrogant millionaires, he's just a regular guy trying to do what's right.....RUN RON RUN!!! Heck, let's just all do a write in for the guy....here's his webpage http://wyden.senate.gov/

Ok...just had to share...that's all...next time...no more politics...I promise!...well...maybe...after all, Bush is going to try again to convince us that we really CAN win the war in Iraq....would have been much simpler if we had a decent supreme court after his first "election"...
