The day after Christmas I found myself in an emergency room in Olympia, Washington and two days latter they removed my gall bladder. I was released the following day and had to schlep myself across country to get home to recover. Real life can interfere.

The fire in my belly is the missing gall bladder and not any fever for a political candidate. Two days before the primary and what do I do? I envy the Obama people. They have the fire. They can even tell you why – “Change”. The Edwards people have a fire. They can’t tell you why, but they have it. The Hillary people – they’re just afraid. She’s not looking so inevitable and they certainly have no fire in the belly.

On the Republican side, who or what is giving me reason for feeling warm let alone on fire? Mitt – he’s been too moderate too many times and seems to be having trouble remembering if his father marched with Martin Luther King. McCain – I want desperately to support him. His service to this country alone should do it. But it doesn’t. His connection to the gang of fourteen is just too much. Huckabee – sorry religious populism just isn’t my thing. Ron Paul – only loons believe we can have no foreign entanglements. Rudy maybe – but I still don’t feel my temperature rising. Thompson’s wife- now she makes my temperature rise. Check to see if he still has a pulse.

I admit that Hillary gives me a fire. She is the anti-Christ and I’m not particularly religious.
She needs to be stopped and the Hill and Bill traveling rode show sent back to Arkansas. These two represent the most corrosive influence in American politics since the carpet baggers invaded the south shortly after the Civil War. They have debased and defiled …… well you get the idea.

Who knows maybe I’ll feel the Obama fire. If she can be stopped early, so much the better. That’s the beauty of being an independent. It would be glorious to see a McCain Obama match up. McCain would definitely be a warrior in the struggle with Islamo fascism and the two would give the country the most straight up choice. Wait! I can feel a fire starting.
