    Jacked About Joe - The Long Nightmare is Almost Over

    Now Biden will take McCain, Rove and Rush by the throat and rip their lungs out. Maybe we will even see Bush and Cheney tried (some day) as the war criminals they are. High time.

    We cannot - we will not - elect a 72-year-old pandering machine who is only an aging copy of the current incompetent incumbent, No - we want our country back. It's a no-brainer. And no election-stealing this time, ala Guatemala. We are the United States of America - not the oil companies' third world country club.

    No matter who McSenile chooses, "Alia jacta est!" The die is cast, as Julius Caesar famously said. The White House will go to the Democrats. History is being made, here and now. This is an exciting and energizing time.

    Imagine the world loving America again!

    Imagine people who will make sensible policy in the Middle East instead of a fumbling idiot who can't even tell a Sunni from a Shiite.

    Imagine leadership that believes government is there for all Americans and not just for a nest of oil-rich cronies.

    Imagine restoring our economy to prosperity again.

    Imagine being able to save your house instead of being led by a clueless geriatic who has no idea how many houses he even has.

    Imagine a White House with competent leaders who respond to hurricanes and other emergencies before thousands of innocent Americans die.

    Imagine not killing more Americans in Iraq than Osama killed in New York.

    Imagine a president who can say "nuclear."

    Imagine America with a living Constitution again instead of a tattered shred of trashed ideals, on life support in a Supreme Court where our liberties are always hanging by a thread from 5-4 decisions.

    Imagine standing for moral leadership and the rule of law.

    It is not a dream. The end of the long nightmare is at hand.
