General Election

Saturday, August 2nd, 2008

4 months to go!

Do you know who you’re voting for? No offense to McCain but I’ll probably be voting for Obama. Well, maybe the following will be a little bit offensive to McCain… The guy is another bumbling idiot. He may be the smartest guy “on the inside,” but come on everybody… isn’t it about time we have a smart guy “on the outside?” I respect John McCain’s service to our country, and I don’t really think he’s an “idiot,” but the guy just can’t speak very well. I don’t know if it’s because his old age or because he’s just lost some of his wit over time, but he just can’t walk and chew gum at the same time if you know what I mean.

I believe that the vocabulary people use and what they say is a good indicator of how smart they are. If you read my last post entitled “My Favorite Bushism’s,” you can get an idea of what I’m talking about. We need a president that speaks well in order to bring back some respectability to our country. If the leader of a nation doesn’t make any sense when they speak, what does that say about that nation? Would you take them very seriously? If the roles were reversed and John McCain was a great speaker and Obama didn’t make any sense when he spoke, then I would probably vote for McCain (even though I don’t agree with his views… we just need a smart person in office). However, that’s not the case and with McCain starting to use Karl Rove tactics in his campaign, I have no choice but to vote for Obama.

Ultimately, do what you think is best for the country but take into account the path we’ve been taking and decide if you want to continue on that path or make some positive changes and put a well spoken smart person in the top position of our country.

My Favorite Bushism’s

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Another “just for fun,” post

Here are some of my favorite Bushism’s. What’s your favorite?

On Education:

“Then you wake up at the high school level and find out that the illiteracy level of our children are appalling.”

“You teach a child to read, and he or her will be able to pass a literacy test.”

“One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures.”

On the Economy:

“I cut the taxes on everybody. I didn’t cut them. The Congress cut them. I asked them to cut them.”

“Recession means that people’s incomes, at the employer level, are going down, basically, relative to costs, people are getting laid off.”

On the Environment:

“I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.”

“Natural gas is hemispheric. I like to call it hemispheric in nature because it is a product that we can find in our neighborhoods.”

Please everyone, remember it is VERY important that you vote in the upcoming General Election.

Gangster Politics

Friday, July 18th, 2008

An American Gangsta

How can politicians connect with teenagers and other people who are “hip-hop?” Send in the big guns of Al Gore. Nothing says “I’m hip” like the sideways peace sign… Or is he pulling a “Three Stooges” maneuver on that guy in the front? Maybe that L on his hat stands for “Larry.”

“Gangster Politics” is doing whatever it takes to get as many votes as you can, ethically or unethically. It’s saying one thing and doing another. For example, you may recall George Bush proclaiming that he was going to bring Osama Bin Laden to justice, actually promising that he was going to do so. Now you can here that same rhetoric from John McCain. It’s unreal that we don’t wise up as a society and call these bull**itters out on this crap. “Hey buddy! You’re saying the same thing your predecessor told us when he was running for office last time, and STILL nothings changed and he didn’t fulfill that promise. Why should we believe you?”

I dream of the day when politicians stop being “gangsters” and just start being real. “If you elect me president, I will work hard to bring Bin Laden to justice.” That’s something I can believe.
