DEMOCRATS LOST THESE ELECTIONS!

Oh boy! We really blew it this time! Senator Edwards has finally admitted he had an affair!
The story was first reported by that prestigious newspaper "The National Enquirer", but because everything this newspaper prints is pure sensational garbage, no one gave it real importance. Apparently, the woman he had an affair with in the year 2006 has put some pressure in the issue claiming she had a child with him. John Edwards has made a full admission of this capital sin, punishable with the guillotine or to be hung from a tree in Missouri. However, he adamantly denies being the father of the child and has volunteered to a DNA paternity test.

This happened 2 years ago, while George W. Bush was still lying about the weapons of mass destruction, and being indifferent to the thousands of people left homeless due to hurricane Katrina. Of course, Bush has not admitted yet that we did not find those weapons in Iraq, and nothing has been done to offer relief to New Orleans and Biloxi victims, therefore those are still moot issues.
But why keep rehashing on such insignificant subjects, when we can dig out dirt from politicians, especially if they are popular and running for the US presidency, or already are. There I must admit that one of the very few exceptions not ever having an affair is our current president. I suppose because not other normal woman would find anything attractive about him. He looks like a monkey and he acts like one. Laura Bush, being such a nice person (I am not being facetious here, honest!) married him while under the influence or under hypnosis. I would have to assume it was the latter, because, as I said, she is saved from his petulance and presidential decisions .
Now, getting back to the issue. Sorry I always divert when I find an excuse to "bashing Bush". I have no doubt that the democrats are now in trouble. First, Clinton in the Oval Office getting a BJ courtesy of Monica Lewinski, that got him impeached. And why not? That oral affair was the cause of
the worst budget deficit this country has ever faced, of the highest unemployment we have experienced in the last 7 years, of an economy crisis, including $4 a gallon gas at the pumps , and finally of an invasion to a Middle East country. Please keep in mind I am only a mediocre writer, but not a historian, so I probably have all my facts and names confused on this subject.
And now, Edwards, committing the biggest mistake a political figure can commit...Adultery. The rest of them in the Senate are saved because they only have minor errors in their curriculum, such as robbery, lies, fraud, depravity, taking money from lobbyists, and giving themselves retirement and other benefits that "we the people" will never ever dream of obtaining for ourselves.
This whole thing brings me to a necessary comparison I find mandatory to make. The President of France, Mr. Nicolas Sarkozy, married a beautiful woman, who is also intelligent, but she was a nude model in Italy before tying the knot with Sarkozy. French citizens and all other Europeans did not mind that. They voted for Sarkozy, they never made a relevant case of this couple before marrying or after. I guess because they are so stupid and they don't know that a president of a nation who marries a model who has posed in the nude, is totally handicapped to make decisions about the economy, health care, foreign policy, and other insignificant and irrelevant issues. These Europeans never bothered to check Sarkozy's personal life. They should have because it is not what he can do for his country, but what he can do for his personal life or to keep gossip and life intrusion at a level above the citizens' needs. When we elect a person to the highest office, or entertain voting for a candidate who is promising to take care of the poor people and the middle class, and straighten the economy, the first thing we should do is throw away all those absurdities and find out who he's engaged or married to, or how many affairs he's had. As a matter of fact, the substance for the elections should be focusing on the personal and private life and not on what they can do to improve our lives. We are so selfish! Even better, let us nominate The Enquirer and other media, print or TV as the arbiters of our future!

I am exhausted after this deep analysis to the point I may throw up. Problem is...should my vomiting be credited to my cynicism or to the fact that our priorities are totally screwed up. Both?

Afterthought: Is Edwards being crucified because he had an affair? or because he lied about it? In this case...Both!
Maybe I'm being too critical on this subject and the Democrats, although, badly injured might still win in November. The real and tragic truth is that "we the people' never win, regardless.
