Ms. E... ...you know that do respect your ability to think if not your thoughts... ...Although, I do like the sound of your voice; but I diregsss. I am at once impressed, or maybe that should be depressed: I found it difficult to believe in any party that would deny the Democratic notion of "One man (woman,) one vote," as regards FL & MI. Thereto, I am not so fond of the Caucaus Process. My employer didn't have to let me off work to attend the Caucaus, and in this erswhile State, Hawaii, the one Kingdom, still Feudal Duchey of American Republic, we don't really have a Federal say until after the Democratic convention. (Whew! - - My pet peeve #1.)
Pet Peeve #2. Gove V Bush, was the first Presidental Election in which I didn't know the outcome before I voted for a President: Whew! Another accomplishment...
Actually, I'm rather proud of our Hillary. She reminds me of every woman in Hawaii, circa 1940. I'd help Mama and Grandmother out the door at 3AM. They'd go to work in the field, come home by 3 PM and help me with the chore of growing up: I never really understood Woman's Lib? Of course I'm just a man and we have limited sensibilites; most my male role models were drunk in the backyard by 4:30 PM. At lenght: It might be a futile battle against incredible odds, but that's something I do comprehend.
Of course, I probably won't vote for Barak until I hear something of substance regarding the Economy. My wife, a woman of great worth who did escape from Texas with her senses in tact did ponder... ..Four more years of Bush? Are you foolish?
She's a Blue-dog Democrat; She's a lot like the Hillary when it comes to grit and the word that sounds like how she stitchs home-spun yarn.
I'm a Yellow-dog Democrat; I only vote Deomcratic, but my Homeboy, Barak? I've yet to hear the substance or see the grits. What kind of Change? When? Where? How? We know what needs changing. We see it in the nirror every morning. As I am fond of saying to my home folk: Hawaii, Maui Island has been since 1894 a feudal duchey controlled by a single Corporate Interest. It did sadden me to see the Big FIve, become the One Corporate State. It saddens me more to think that someday the entire American Republic will take us back to the 40's as we sell our assets, become a debtor Nation to China. I sometimes see our Hillary as the Elizabeth I of the US - - Sans the White Faced makeup and overly ornate dress with flying collar. On the other hand, I think Barak has a nice smile, but his not John Wayne in True Grit.
Oh Goodness. Have I dated myself? My wife says, if I don't vote... ...vote democratic, I will be dating myself... Of course I'm not worried: She's lost her hearing; but, then again, she's from Texas and never listened: Hum? I wonder?
Nah. Even if Hillary looses, I can live with that as long as like the Hoe-Hana Women of old Hawaii, she works her row. The Fight isn't over until Mrs. Vares is singing (Yea. She was fat, but I'll never forget; Like Hillary, Mrs. Vares taught me, not to quit.
