The candidate with qualities
I've never liked George W. Bush, and I never voted for him.  It's not just because he is a master of war, or because he preys on demon-fearing Americans. As much as those things repulse me, it is his total lack of qualities that inspires my hatred.  Yes,  I have grown to hate George Bush. 

From the day he burrowed and squirmed to the top in a questionable election;  to the lies and war;  to when Guantanamo still had that new-prison smell;  to the shredding of our Constitution, I have hated him more each day.  I have never before said those words about anyone, and I thought I never would.  I am not proud that I now understand Bob Dylan's words when he wrote "Masters of War" in 1963... I am not proud, but I understand. 

And I hope that you die
And your death'll come soon
I will follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
And I'll stand o'er your grave
'Til I'm sure that you're dead

Some say none of the candidates today have qualities.  I, for one, hope beyond hope for  a president who will stop the hatred.  I hope for a president who inspires the best in us, not the worst.  In our invisible Nebraska caucus,  I will vote for Barack Obama.
