I have a simple reason for having great indifference towards endorsements in the 2008 Democratic primary.
All I've ever had is one wish and that was that someone would oppose the Bush misAdministration. Really oppose them -- as in stop them. And keep them from continuing their illegal, immoral and monstrous behavior.
And no one has done that. There have been some very good folks who have tried to stop this nefarious machine that took over 30 years to build. I do not underestimate the task. Kind of like those fairy tales where you see the hundreds of broken bodies of heroes while the actual hero walks his way to his victorious adventure.
But that's neither here nor there.
I'll be going into the voting booth on Tuesday without knowing who will get my vote. I will make up my mind in the voting booth. And I will keep my vote private.
Of all of the endorsers of the Democratic candidates, none of these endorsers have stopped Mr. Bush and his gang nor have they influenced me one iota as for whom I shall vote in the Democratic primary.
Nor have any of the diaries here, for that matter, with all the plethora of endorsements, even from those Kossaks I have great respect for.
Because, after all, no one here has stopped this crew of criminals, either. Nor have I, of course, nor have I.
So who knows better than I, who knows better for whom I should vote in the Democratic primary?
Endorsements. All I see is hundreds of millions of dollars being spent on nothing and a whole lot of famous folks thinking I care who they are going to vote for.
It's not that I don't have respect for many of these endorsers, whether they be famous politicians or celebrities or infamous Kossaks. I have a lot of respect for a lot of people.
But they have no influence on me.
So I'll be deciding on Tuesday.
And I'll vote for the Democrat in the general.
