Election Elightenment - Karma Crazy

Dear Friends,
Comments seem appropriate now, considering that the election frenzy happens everyday. I watch Bill Clinton talk and I wonder what karma he is paying off while the former first lady argues her points that she is best qualified for the presidency. I see Mr. Clinton yelling at reporters, hugging Hillary, falling asleep on the podium during a Martin Luther King Day ceremony. William Jefferson Clinton, former president, walks through the crowds, shaking hands, patting people on the back. It is a confusing picture for me. I still see Monica in her black tam, smilling up at Bill. I still see Hillary Clinton on the morning TV shows trying to support her husband who said, "I did not have sexual relations with that woman."

I like Hillary. I like Bill. Call me "karma crazy" but I just wonder if the Clintons are back in the White House again what and how many boomerangs will they have to catch, or drop or hold onto. It seems to me there is enough to do in being the President of the United States of America without this mired past hanging around in the shadows of the Oval Office. Maybe we should have short memories, maybe we need to forgive and forget, maybe we could realize we are just human beings with virtues, flaws and imperfect choices.

This is going to be a difficult decision for me this year. Hillary Clinton gives lots of answers I like but she has tons of political and personal history of conflict and confrontation. Edwards is gone; the person I would like to have voted for in this year's election. Mr. McCain is Republican but my husband says we don't have enough money to vote for him. Obama's track record is pretty short - so I might just have to go "karma crazy" again and vote for the Clintons. It might be this is their time to have one more chance at paying off their dues and as Hillary said, "Clean up after the Bushes" again. At least there are a few more months to think about it; in the meantime I better get enlightened and go register to vote!
