Oh yeah, I wish this stupid election was over! There's not that many Obama signs in my neighborhood (unless you count all the foreclosures and HUD repos- they even outnumber the McCain signs!) because there seems to be an effort out for McCain folks to pull Obama signs up out of folk's lawns- PLUS the only way I seem to be able to get ahold of one is through a donation- which might actually explain most of the Obama finance kitty- lol.
Seems to me that it's coming down to a vast polarization here in America between the McCain and Obama folks, worse than any polarization I've ever seen. Trouble is that it's looking like the sheeple (at least the uneducated blind following ones) are all falling for McCain, and to me that's disturbing. Don't these folks READ? Have they NO common sense at all??? I mean, I'm not too hip on voting for a Democrat myself, but I've at least read the backgrounds on all the candidates and have realized who's the lesser of the two evils. I've watched television and seen enough to see who's pushing the "hate, fear, and smear" about the other guy to the point of deciding my vote. Have these folks no shame? Do they LOVE the way their neighborhoods and country, not to mention the political party in the presidential spot, are currently behaving? McCain and Palin remind me of old time fear mongering a LOT more than ushering in any kind of "change".
Flat out, McCain has no message other than "That guy's a terrorist, wait, he pals around with terrorists, wait he's a socialist!", only a continuation of the same solutions that put us here, just look at his "plan". Those "mavericks" are bought and sold, not only by their party, but by their sheer greed. All the candidates have flawed records, don't get me wrong here, but McSame and Bailin are supposed to be representatives of the "christian conservative right" and all they are doing is mimicking the sheer hypocrisy of day-to-day smear politics. Neither one of them are remotely "Christian" (just look at the lies and hatred they breed in their campaigns- "Do unto others" indeed!) "Conservative" (Palin is so "conservative" that she left Wasilla- a town 5/8th the size of Flushing- with a 25 million dollar debt from a sports arena she arranged by the same construction company that built her big house as a "favor" to her buddy husband), or remotely "Right" (McCain's votes are available to the highest bidder, he was part of the Keating 5 savings and loan SCANDAL, and he's voted with Bush these last 4 years around 90% of the time and he's proud of it), C'MON!! Seriously, do you want that kind of hate, smear, and SHIT anywhere near the Whitehouse? What kind of attitude do you want the country, and yes, the world, to have for at least the next four years?
Where are folk's common sense? I have to applaud Colin Powell (current scourge of the right-wing radio set) for spelling it out so directly and on point:
I sincerely hope that Obama asks him to serve as Secretary of State and gives him a chance to rectify his being made a patsy in front of the United Nations when he tried to sell them on the war in Iraq (and that's not a political opinion there, just look at the commission report(s)), to me he's the BEST man for the job. I'd let him loose and tell him to get us out of Iraq and back on point asap, because you've got more problems within our borders to deal with.
Even if Obama gets in, there has been SO much hatred made out of his reputation and campaign that the country will be shredded (more shredded than we are now or have ever been) for a VERY long time, and frankly I blame the Republicans and McCain totally for it, and they ought to be ashamed of themselves for the shit and dirt slung in the last few months. Obviously money has no shame, corporate greed has no bounds, and folks who can't make their own reasoning or curiosity to educate themselves have no ethics either. Politics and this country (what the Republicans sadly want to call "REAL America") have an ugly shit smear around their bowl brought on by the Republicans and I'll not be forgetting that anytime soon. No wonder voter apathy is so high! Now a vote for Obama doesn't mean a vote against racism and corporate greed nearly as much as a statement on how much more shit we as Americans want in our lives. Do we reward shitslingers, liars, and smearmongers by voting them into office, or do we want intelligence, calmness, and reasoning to dominate our politics? If anything I would think all the fearmongering and lies would promote folks to vote AGAINST your shit, and I honestly hope there are enough THINKING people out there to toss idiots and shitslingers away from any kind of public life, let alone our tax money.
Please don't follow what I say blindly either, read up on these idiots and vote for yourself, but PLEASE do it with more than an open mind, do it with an informed heart. Look around you before you vote, and most of all...
WAKE UP!
