some choice

In a few daya I'll be in the booth with choices to make. I've read the endorsments, watched the debates, laughed at the cartoons and John Stewart, read the political blogs, snoozed in front of endless FOX, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, C-Span ............. analyses. Live in a swing state. Had countless "vote for my guy" phone calls.

The choice comes down to:

- someone who claims a broadband link to his god
- has unwavering convictions with no gray fringes
- selected a cabinet and advisors that view the world from a 60's vantage point
- took us to a war where the very reasons have been proven unfounded and yet continues to justify the error in the face of continuing deaths and injuries to both sides - go back to point one, which god does he talk to?
- alienated most of our friends and neighbors
- spends like a Massachusetts liberal without a hint of fiscal responsibility
- pretty much anti-human choice except for the unborn?

or

- someone who will promise anything to everyone for a vote
- wavering convictions
- carried by a gigantic political sail
- has as much gray thinking as explanations for position changes

It boils down to a right wing fanatic with left wing spending habits versus a left wing moderate wannabe.

Is this the best our political system can offer us. Some choice!!
