Who the FUCK do I vote for?

I am very embarrassed to admit that I voted for George W. Bush once. The only thought that eases my mind is that I live in Texas and whether I had voted for him or not, he still would've won the state. That is still just a pitiful excuse.

So now a conundrum introduces itself to my thought process. I want to try and make a difference, but I feel no matter what direction I vote this election (if I even choose to) it will bring a jackass into office.


Republicans are represented by a war mongering, tyrannical peace breaker. McCain wants nothing more than to get his spot on the throne and bomb the living fuck out of everyone that stereotypically fits an axis of evil description. I don't know about you, but I'm older and much more mature now, and I don't really feel like sitting in front of the TV again as CNN showcases mass destruction in some foreign country we know nothing about. Wow! Look at the live coverage of bombs obliterating Iran! God Bless America!!! We fucking rule! BLAM BLAM! Yeah, not my style. I just threw up in my mouth a tad bit thinking about it. I won't lie, the first time I caught the live coverage of Baghdad being sieged by death showers on EVERY SINGLE CHANNEL, i was mesmerized. It was spectacular. I thought it was cool that we were able to catch such action live nowadays. It was like watching the ultimate reality TV show. The problem here is that right there. I regret feeling that adrenaline rush, but it helps me understand that millions upon millions of other humans were sitting there feeling the same thing. The media glorifies it on purpose. I will put a baseball bat through my television before I sit and watch that shit again. Do I want a pompous bitch like John McCain as president? FUCK NO! But will there be a worthwhile alternative?

This brings me to the democrat candidates. First we're in the midst of Obama winning the democrat candidacy. But will it matter really whether he or Hillary wins it? They both are a little tamer than the wild eyed, chipmunk child republican candidate. Clinton has a health care resolution that sounded promising at first when the term "universal healthcare" was being tossed around, but we all discovered it wasn't REALLY a universal healthcare proposition more than it was a behind-the-scenes, devious plot to make insurance and pharmaceutical companies even MORE obscene profits. Obama promotes peace, but then seems to throw in little innuendos about how we just may not have a choice but to bomb *insert random third world country name here*. They're both shady, and I don't like it at all.

So it leaves us with a very unbearable choice. Do we want a violent racist republican president who's not afraid to admit it, or a shady democrat with a penciled in smile on their faces? Now, I present the idea that it probably doesn't even matter.

Whoever takes the democrat candidacy, it's going to be a radical addition to our country's history. It's not by any means a bad addition; HOWEVER, you and I both know it's going to bring the ants out of the labyrinth of dirt and into the polls come this election. Who are the ants? Every democrat and republican, who may or may not have even voted in the last umpteen elections, that cannot even fathom having a woman or a black guy 'run' our country. The democrat views, ideals, programs, etc. will not matter to this mass quantity of racists/male chauvinists. All they know is they have always had a white male president and they want to keep it that way. Their votes will swing their way into McCain's greedy, power hungry hands.

In conclusion, McCain will probably be our next president. I don't want it that way, but many will emerge from their hermit dwellings to vote against the abnormal. The American people for the most part are afraid of change. Would I prefer a democrat? Probably. Will I vote? Probably not.

Ralph Nader seems the only reasonable vote nowadays, but we all know, a vote for Nader is a vote for...
