Vote ’08

Current mood: pissed off
Category: News and Politics

OK. This election officially has me pissed off. Not with black people, women, republicans, white people, Hispanics, or any of the other groups of retards (I said it-that's how upset I am) who pretend to know about politics all of a sudden every four years. I'm pissed at America in general. I'm upset with the public that doesn't read (or read into things). This new America chooses to be spoon fed information by popular news outlets.

Last year, everyone was so excited to have two such strong and original candidates. The country seemed committed to a regime change. Hell, a few real estate agents were absolutely certain that the housing market would get an upswing in 2009 because of the new democratic president. We actually had some hope of our armed forces returning home even if it was in 2009 when the new president came to office.

This year, today to be specific, some people are afraid for Obama to continue running. Today, democrats are fleeing to the other party to escape all the in fighting. Today, there is no end in sight for this war. Now we seem committed to FOUR MORE YEARS. Four more years of the same shit.

Why?

Four years ago, a young senator from some random assed midwestern state impressed his party enough to be asked to speak at their national convention. He spoke. He was so moving, pundits predicted him not only running in for years but also winning. Hillary Clinton did not want to run following this senator's speech. Four years ago, they never mentioned his nationality. These are all facts. I would say look it up but Americans don't look stuff up. Just wait for your children (alive or unborn) to mention it from their history books during a commercial break from American Idol.

A few days ago, a friend of mine declared that she not only refused to vote for Barack Obama if he won the nomination, she was voting for McCain. She could at least vote for Nader. The "conspiracy theorists" are absolutely certain that Obama will be assassinated if he is elected president. None of these people had any idea who Barack Obama was three years ago (I'm speaking of one year after his historic convention speech). All of a sudden, I'm sondering what happened to the independents. The independent voters. The independent thinkers.

I want to jump and yell and slap people around. But that won't teach them anything. I can only hope. I can hope that Nader does actually come into the race. I'm wishing Bill Maar wasn't so "flawed" that he couldn't run. At least then, we would have someone to blame other than ourselves. Why are we experts only every four years? How can we proudly only guess at it the other three? When will our faith be strong enough to extend past religion to ourselves, to our country, to our countrymen?

If we truly cared to pay attention, we would see ourselves being manipulated. We would know who it was doing the manipulating. And we would catch ourselves in enough time to still make an informed decision that is going to effect the rest of our lives. America cannot lose focus. CHANGE '08 PEOPLE! Change!

Maybe it's not too late…



Let me add: I don't care who people vote for. I don't even ask or engage in those discussions with people. I DO CARE about us being manipulated. It is our decision. Let's make sure we keep it that way.

Bill Maar lmao. Damn Athiest!!!

JR

Sometimes I like atheists over Jesus freaks. Atheists are more honest.
