Don’t waste your vote! (with a religion rant)
posted: February 4, 2008

I have been voting for many years, and for those many years, I have seen a number of young, impressionable people make stupid mistakes. I’m not even talking to the “red states”…yet…

Remember Ralph Nader? He said things that made a number of people vote for him. A small number. While that small number of people voted for Nader, Bush won. We had “hanging chads”. We had a president elect who won the popular vote, yet fucking lost! If Nader had not been in the race, we wouldn’t have been stuck with monkey boy. I’m still at a complete lost on how he won twice! Twice! FUCK up the nation, and have the ignorant people vote for you again! ARGH!

Fast forward to now. You see a lot of Ron Paul talk on the net. People out there are going the extra mile, with grass root activity, getting the word out about Ron Paul. Guess what? It doesn’t matter! No matter how much you push, not enough people in this country will vote for the man.

You know what’s going to happen? We’re going to be stuck with another republican (note: they are not worthy of my capitalization) in the White House. Care to imagine that? I sure as hell do NOT!

When you vote, vote democrat. Yes, I know, you are literally flipping a coin with the two lead democrats. You have Obama, with all of his supporters (both famous and influencial). You see Hillary, and you have fond memories of Bill (hey - when he lied, no one died!). You don’t know which one to trust. But guess what? They’re both better than the republicans!

I am tired of living check to check. I am tired of paying too much for gas. I am tired of bitching about the state of the world. Look at this world. Groups of people fighting with other groups of people, over what? God. For some of us (read: me, and other smart people), we have “spirituality”. We have the belief of “karma”. We don’t live our lives based on the history of a “god”. Think about it. The main guidelines of the bible say common sense things. Don’t cheat. Don’t steal. Don’t kill. Well, DUH! Fine. Simple enough, but look at this crap. Middle Eastern countries are in battle with each other over who’s “god” is better. We have terrorism, which is promising completely desperate individuals riches in heaven if they do unspeakable acts of horror. We have a president (again, not worthy of capitalization) who comes back at the terrorists with “and god bless America”. Seriously? Other countries are in a pissing contest over their “god”, and you think your “god” is going to bless all of us for the crap you do?

UGH!

Janet Jackson shows a nipple, and the United States freaks. Where the fuck is your outrage at this war? People are dying. Needlessly. You pray that we win. “They” pray to ruin the USA. You really think that is there if some sort of higher being, that they are taking sides?

(back to topic)

DO NOT waste your vote! Forget Ron Paul, and all the other “not a chance in hell” people in this race. DO NOT get us stuck with a republican again! I don’t want to live in a damn world where religious extremists (hello, red states) control the government.

Reaganomics? Operation Desert Storm? Mission Accomplished? I miss Democrats. I miss seeing my president elect torturing a saxophone on Arsenio Hall. I miss this country having a budget surplus. I miss feeling good about things in life. Look around. You feel good about life? You feel good seeing more and more people losing their jobs? You feel good about people losing their homes? Not able to afford healthcare? You like seeing a monkey war monger making fat oil money, while people die?

DO NOT WASTE YOUR VOTE! Use your brain!

  1. I quite agree with the majority of the concerns you have expressed. I think, though, we will have a Democrat in office, for several reasons. One is the Evangelical vote, which Bush had in 00 and more importantly in 04, won’t go for McCain. Another is the Iraq War and the fact that moderate and independent voters associate Republicans with this war. Also some republicans will remember when McCain was all buddy buddy with *dubbya* after he sighed a piece of legislation that had to do eliminating torture. Interesting side note, shortly after Bush sighed McCain’s Bill he issued what is called a signing statement which allowed him to ignore parts of the Bill. Anyway I don’t think well be “blessed” with anymore republicans in office for a good long while. Thank god!

  2. I’m so tired to know about war, about enviroment devastation, about hate.
    You are a big nation and you could (and should) do very much.
    I don’t know very much about Hillary, Obama and the others, I only hope that next president will change things.
    Peace
