Say it Ain't So

The only startling tidbit that I was able to glean from Hill and Bill’s rally on The Square was that Shania Twain must be a Democrat. It broke my heart.

shania1.GIFShania, the all American country music star from Canada now living in Switzerland - a Democrat. She who sets male hearts aflutter. The Hillary campaign is using her song “Rock This Country” as campaign fodder. It can only be happening with the approval of Ms Twain at some level. Betrayal at its worst!

She actually uttered the words, “The Democrats are strong on defense.” Judging by the minimal applause no one in an otherwise enthusiastic audience believed that for one second. The applause came when she said, ”We must get out of Iraq.” Her two comments were her usual mush of incongruity. Same old same old.

Hillary also tried to pull a rabbit out of her hat. She was making every attempt at portraying herself as the candidate of “Change.” Of all the candidates of either party, she is the ultimate insider. From behind the scenes string pulls at the White House to roaming the hallowed halls of the Senate, just what part of Washington hasn’t she played footsy with? But again, this is neither shocking nor a betrayal.

It was the betrayal by Shania that really hurt. Say it ain’t so, Shania!

Tobey Keith is also a Democrat. But neither of them will stoop to the level of Ted Nugent saying Hillary can 'suck on his machine gun'. Where is the outrage like what followed the Dixie Chicks? Some hypocracy there?
Hillary is not my first choice either, but all the blogging in the world isn't gonna stop her.

Dave, fortunately for bloggers such as I hypocrisy is part of the human condition. If it gets truly boring I could write about my own hypocrisy. Now that would really put you to sleep.

I agree Hillary will be tough to beat. The only thing that might stop her is her high negatives. The Republicans certainly haven't fielded anyone exciting.

For all of the candidates in both parties except for maybe 3 or 4, hypocracy is their negative. In the last campaign they had a name for it. Flip-flopping. I'm also a little uneasy with a few of them having wives so far thier junior. Thier's something a little off to me in someone who doesn't see the beauty in a woman thier own age.
