Well gang, the Montrose Beer and Gun Club doesn’t have a habit of getting involved in partisan politics.
Espousing as we do, the marriage of beer and guns, a union that is wonderful and a concept that is exquisitely simple, we like to think of ourselves as uniters of people, as opposed to dividing people into separate camps.
Like the democrats and republicans always seem to do.
But, be that as it may, it sure looks like they’re going to put on quite a show for us this leap year.
Always ones to have a droll sense of humor, it appears as though the republicans have convinced Ralph Nader to run for the presidency again.
Ol’ Ralph is kinda what you would call a steer in a china shop.
It’s hard to figure his motivation.
Maybe it’s just being in center stage, with all those bright lights and stuff. And all those young girls.
And then there’s this Huckabee guy. Keeping his name in the game in his very likable manor, just in case kind of bland John McCain needs a vice presidential candidate who is not only personable, and can play music, but is also a card carrying Christian.
The John Edwards guy is blue collar, hails from Virginia, and has made sure that everybody knew what he was made of before he stepped down and let the heavy weights have the center of the stage.
Even a heavy weight might need a right hand man like that some day.
That brings us to Hilary, the only candidate that only needs one name. Sort of like a rock-star.
She’s brilliant, make no mistake. And she’s also very tough. Ask her, she’ll tell you.
But her brilliance and toughness covers up the human side of her, which she showed in New Hampshire and won because of it.
Don’t be surprised if her brilliance and toughness lets her cry again, if she really needs to. And finally, Barach Obama.
He seems to know who he is.
He doesn’t seem to be trying to con you, or act out something on a stage, as much as he seems to be trying to share something with you. Appeal to your intellect.
An oddly impractical approach some how.
And while he advocates change, he doesn’t seem to change all that much himself.
Well, they are all better than the guy that’s in office now. Why, George has people removing republican tattoos from their butts, and wearing long sleeves.
Anyway, it looks like fun. We’ve got eight long months before the election, and we always select the right person for the job.
Don’t we?

Till next week
