Ponderings of a Scientist

To all my readers if you think “mainstream conservative” is an oxymoron, please vote in November.  I don’t care if you call yourself a; liberal, democrat, republican, or monkey - most American’s do not find today’s “conservates” (think money loving, financially irresponsible, greedy, war mongering, etc.) mainstream at all.

And… if I hear one more republican try to blame the democrats for their recent demise I think I’m going to drive my car off the road (and since I’m now responsible for two lives, that wouldn’t be good!).  I swear NPR is broadcasting so many Republican interviews just to make us non-mainstreamers angry enough to vote, but I can’t take it anymore!  Yesterday, I heard Carl Rove’s interview on all things considered and according to him; “You (Robert Siegel) are entitled to your math, however the math says the Republicans will win both houses of Congress.”  and he went on in this pompous tone for God-knows how long, I shut off the radio!

I hate our current group of politicians!  I hate that this country is divided down partisan lines, thanks to the antics of politicians and the media!  I’m not even that much of a fan of our electorial options in November, but I think new has to be better than old.  So I will be voting against the incumbents this year and will hope dearly that we get some campaign finance reform before the next election (yeah right!) so we have a chance of seeing some quality candidates!
