VP Debate

Their god I hate debates, it’s like watching two dogs chase each other’s tail. If you missed it the gist went as such:
“Senator McBama does/doesn’t like/dislike this/that. Voted for/against this/that. Will bring this country to ruin/success, loves/hates the people, ”
Reply Senanovenor Bilin?
“I will. That statement was plainly false about this/that.”
Listening to the two of them they’re both awesome and evil, they’re awesomely evil. We’re such a lucky country.

As a rule I’m not a fan of our current political system, republicans are just stark raving mad and democrats are spineless pansies. Both veep possibilities are full of shit, they’re politicians. But I will say this, Palin scares the bejebus out of me. Her beliefs seem so self righteous. I’m afraid her religious beliefs may be too deep rooted in her psyche to be kept out of her politics.

And why are they still trying to sell McCain as a “maverick”? McCain was a Maverick, WAS. In the last few years he’s pretty much been a lackey for Bush. He’s flip-flopped between so many things it’s unbelievable. And he’s OLD! Who honestly doesn’t feel like McCain could die in his first term? Who’ll take odds he makes it thru a second? Which would leave us in Palin’s incapable hands.

According to NBC’s live polls people liked that Palin told the moderator “I may not answer the question the way the moderator wants me to…” Why? It sounds tough but really isn’t she saying that she’ll make her own rules and ignore the ones already in place. Hasn’t that been Bush’s motto? And it certainly doesn’t make her a pitbull. She didn’t stand up to terrorism, she didn’t stand up to injustice, she stood up to a moderator.

The politician speak, intended to confuse the voter was just too much. Palin stated many times that Obama and Biden couldn’t be looking to change the system since they kept pointing to the past. Really she was just pissed that Biden was pointing out the faults of Bush and McCain. In my experience the best way to change the future is to find out what went wrong in the past.

The thing that is great about this country is that the appointment of leadership rests in the hands of the people. The great downfall of this country is that the appointment of leadership rests in the hands of the people.

The point is, vote for whomever you wish, but do it because you agree on issues. Don’t listen to the sales pitch of any of them. Read and study both sides, then see which parts are propaganda and which parts are true. Voting along party lines is ridiculous, it is a sin against the very nature of free elections to blanket vote for a particular side. We have to remember that sometimes even the team you love deserves to lose.

Voting is not a privilege. I know this now because I used to not vote at all. I stayed out of politics, I didn’t really realize how deep it ran into society. But now I know better. Voting is a responsibility. It’s not about your insecurities or prejudices or beliefs: to vote along those lines is tyrannical and truly unAmerican. It’s not about what’s best for you, it’s about what’s best for the people. Remember the people?
