The Depression of 2008

If the Democrats had any sense they would have nominated a White male governor with no Senatorial background to chip at and walked in to the White House in a landslide. An able, efficient and popular governor like Brad Henry of Oklahoma would have been a Godsend and helped drive out the weasels and rats who have been in power the last 7 years. Alas, we are stuck with the lesser of two evils for a nominee for the party and praying that Americans remember which party has been in office the last 7 years in which everything has unraveled. Personally I like McCain but would never vote for him because too much of the infrastructure of the past 7 years would remain intact in Washington.
We can spend billions and billions overseas in a useless and misguided war but not a dime to help the poor, underprivileged, hungry and sick in our own country. Environmental policy is a rudderless ship and an afterthought, methamphetamine is destroying an entire generation, the economy is a mess, we geniflec at the altar of the oil companies and will never develop a truly viable alternative energy source for our automobiles, and on and on and on.
I've lived most of my life, I just worry about the lives of my children and grandchildren.
P.S. Another state legislature has passed a bill authorizing the posession of handguns on college campuses throughout the State. Where does the madness end?
Thanks for allowing me the rant.
