Politics . . . confuse me

By Rusty Tisdale

I’ve noticed that I’ve gotten tons of traffic these last few days due to my remarks about Michelle Malkin. I suppose I’m grateful for more readers (why blog if you don’t care?), but I really wish it were due to topics that truly interest me. Politics, in the past, used to be a passion of mine. Now it’s more like a sick obsession.

The problem, of course, is that I’ve come to a place where I’m neither Republican, Democrat, Constitution Party, Libertarian, etc. I simply can’t fit a mold. Therefore I get angry reading the comments over at Michelle Malkin’s blog just as often as I do when reading VoxNova. Politically, I’m a peculiar pilgrim (as it should be).

I’m a fan of McCain, but I’m not a fan of the war in Iraq. Obama is exciting, but only in that I’m-tired-of-the-status-quo-so-let’s-vote-for-something-’new’ and oh-my-God-what-have-I-just-done kind of way. Hilary is a Clinton. ‘Nuff said.

I guess what I’m trying to say is – I wish I could keep all these new readers by focusing more on politics, but it’s impossible. It’s not in me.
