Kevin over at Exurban League posted a link to an opinion piece wondering if the Right was right on the Clintons. While his reason for posting the column is different than mine, I had to laugh at the coincidence. See, I posted this on an online forum just yesterday.

The crap that the Clinton campaign has spewed in South Carolina eerily reminds me of the anti-McCain campaign in the same state eight years ago. For the Bushies, it worked. For the Clintons, it appears to have backfired.

My state is one of the Super Duper Tuesday states that vote in two weeks. I am no closer to picking a candidate. All those stupid online quizzes get confused when I fill in my information. I’ve had everyone from Sam Brownback to Dennis Kucinich show up as the candidate I’m closest to depending on the weighting of the questionnaire. I just took the Electorial Compass one, and I’m pretty close to the middle on both axes, which means there are no candidates anywhere near me.

I know one thing, I won’t be voting for Ms. Clinton. I also won’t be voting her if she wins the Democratic nomination. As I said in the post, if it’s Clinton-McCain, I’ll write in Mickey Mouse for the third campaign in a row. He’d be a better President.

I don’t get lit on fire by Obama and I don’t know why. I really should. The comparisons of him to JFK are right on the mark, in my opinion. He’s young, attractive, and making people reassess their traditional ways of thinking (Kennedy towards Catholics, Obama towards African-Americans). Both could be seen as a breaking point in American politics. And yet, I just can’t get excited about Obama.

He seems to want nationalized health care, even going as far as to point out if he was starting from scratch he’d pick single payer, but he won’t go for it in the campaign. His tax proposals really turn me off and he’s for abortion, though I’m used to ignoring that by now. He also wants to withdraw troops immediately from Iraq, which is a no-go for me (I was completely against going in, but now that we’re stuck we’ve got to do the right thing).

So, I disagree with the Democrats on Iraq, taxes, and abortion and with the Republicans on all other social and economic issues. And that’s why I have no idea who I should vote for. We need a party for all those liberal Christians out there that are sick of compromising on abortion or social issues to fit into one of the two current parties.

*sigh* Maybe someday.
