I've been watching the candidates for a loooooong time and I must say it was a hard decision.

See, since 2000 our candidates given to us have been lame as Hell with the exception of Gore/Lieberman.

George W. Bush is a failure at life who bankrupted everything ever given to him including our economy, the Presidency, our Country, our Way of Life...I could go on forever.

Kerry is an inconsistant waste of space and no better than Bush, even though I am convinced if he won in 2004 there's definately no way we'd be as bad off as we are now, I just know for a fact we wouldn't be significantly better.

I look back now and realize Kerry was such a joke that is why Bush won the way he did. He didn't have to steal votes in 04 to get it...

So finally, now that Bush cannot rerun for office (And thank God for that) We got a new strain of republican hopefuls. Mitt Romney, Rudy Juliani, John McCain, and some other yahoo. Each of these gentleman have a laundry list of accomplishments vs failures, and sure they might not be right all the time but honestly who is? At least they aren't wrong all the time like our current whackjob.

Now, onto the democratic side of things.

Hilary and Obama...As far as barack obama goes I never heard of this guy until he came to be and honestly, everything I hear about him I like.

Guess what America, the way it is now ISN'T WORKING!!! Look around you. People are losing money, jobs, houses, food, a will to live. Meanwhile we shit out billions of dollars to greedy assholes who asked for this making the dumbass investments that they did and to a cluster of countries who did a good enough job of blowing eachother up before we stepped in, thus sacrificing the lives of our good soldiers and the money spent on this stupid sham of a financial pursuit.

You can call me socialist or marxist all you want for siding with Obama on this one folks. I don't agree with everything Obama stands for, but a Hell of a lot of it him and I see eye to eye on.

For one thing if you're bitching about tax hikes and make less than 250k a year, STFU. Anyone making more than that, you can better afford the fuck ups of our last administration than I can. Sorry pal to penalize you for making so much but we need a quick solution to a big and complicated problem and we're going to take it any way we can get it.

Obama is the only one speaking of getting the Hell out of Iraq where we never belonged in the first place. Finishing up in Afghanistan, finding Bin Laden, the REAL Culprit of 9/11 provided the conspiracy theories aren't true and our own Government didn't do it themselves. And then, what's that? Bring our troops home? I'm for that. And I tell you what...If you want to stay in Iraq and keep fighting insurgents...be my guest. I say any American soldier who wants to stay in Iraq fighting insurgents can do so by being given immediate Iraqi citizenship and their very own outfit and go fight with the 100 people who actually like us. What makes everyone think that the 'Democracy' we establish over there won't turn into another Taliban under Islamic Code just like the Taliban themselves did? Who put them in Power? We did.

I have seen in the last century a Republican completely dicked our economy only for a Democrat to come in, pick up all the pieces, get it flowing again, just for another Republican to come in and dick it in the ass all over again. So there's yet one more thing that needs changing. The one exception to this would probably be Reagen. The last Republican I have any real respect for.

McCain argues that Obama is inexperienced especially in ways of foreign relations. What does Obama do? He chooses Biden whose foreign relations are strong and is only a junior to McCain himself by about 8-10 years. Bravo. Then what does McCain do after the Democratic Convention? He picks Palin for the sake of imagery...What the hell else is there to pick her for? I don't have any problems with Palin, my point of this is he criticizes Obama for lack of experience then picks someone just as lacking as him if not more.

You people who won't vote for Obama cause you think he's Muslim and/or he's Black...go shoot yourselves. The man is Arab, if at all, in name only. And he's been over this 1000 times. He is a Christian through and through and was raised in this country by an American Mother. And all this crap about race? I guarantee that those hating Obama cause he's black are probably white, at least 99% of them...Take a look at the asshole most of you jackoffs probably voted for and see  what he's done for us. Jack shit, and Jack left town.

Now, the 700 billion dollar bailout? Not working folks! Neither is the whole 'government buyout of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac'. That much money should be able to fucking motivate but nope, they are all too worried about furthering their own goals.

Look folks, I'm not the one to consult when you want to invest in the stock market. I might have bombed in Economics through high school and college on 5 separate occasions before finally passing, but one thing that was beaten into my head was the stock market is all about investing and when people pull their money and stop investing the stock market ceases to flow. It's like drying up the mississippi river...sure it takes a hell of a lot of sponges and evaporation...but guess what...we've been sponging it for the last 8 years!

Something has to change! And the way I see it is getting another republican in there is only going to keep things going down hill in a downward spiral like they have been. A Democrat is what is necessary now to clean up this mess.

I won't say Bush caused all of this stuff to happen, but the man Presided over 3 of this nations most detrimental disasters. 9/11, Katrina, and the worse our stock market has been...well...EVER! We simply have more things in place these days to help people stay on their feet and continue to exist to some extent. But these programs only have so much money too.

I'm sick and tired of spending money on ungrateful pieces of shit (any country that ends up hating us anyway)

I'm sick and tired of some stupid asshole who can't even form a sentence spending my money (Do I even need to say who? WHAT I'm referring to is this Bailout...OUR tax dollars!)

I'm sick and tired of making the most money I ever have before in my life and having even less than when I made a fraction of it!

Look around you and tell me what you think IS right these days? Anything? I didn't think so...

So yeah, the man's right...It's time for change...It may not be the best change our country needs but anything because we are at the bottom of the barrel practically and once you hit bottom the only place left to go is up.

Go out and vote on who you want folks. If McCain gets it I'm going to shut my mouth. I'd consider moving but I have no money with which to do so thanks to all the BS these assholes keep doing. All in all McCain is still better than Bush...you don't get to be his age with his accomplishments and still be a complete waste of life.

To Obama: Congrats on being a self made politician. You had it really rough with both your parents dying so young, and bless you for being by your Grandmother's side. Keep fighting the good fight, my good man.

To McCain: A salute to a man who has served his country in a time of war. POW at that. No one can look at your record and not bow in honor. I sincerely hope that what you plan will change this country for the better in ways I do not yet see if you make it. I also hope you survive because honestly your choice for VP scares the Hell out of me should she wrest the mantle from you through departure of God's Earth.

And to the rest of you. Stop your hate mongering. For the love of God it does nothing but create preconceived notions about people, and then no matter what they say or do it doesn't matter because you've made your mind up about them already. And for those that want to tell me the same thing? I'll have you know I went into the 1st Bush term supporting him, despite the controversial election. I supported going into Afghanistan. Hell I even supported Iraq if he could prove there were indeed WMDs aimed straight for us...now it's going on 8 years and I'm tired of the bullshit. He's had a chance to prove himself and it's been one sham after another. I'm TIRED of it. Obama is the only one talking about change, and he doesn't make me want to punch him every time he opens his mouth. He's had a good response to everything I've seen and he has been terribly honest whereas necessary.

As far as these candidates go, it really is a hard decision for a lot of people. I applaud both of them for the little roast they had of one another after the final debate, and how they rigorously defend eachother and haven't really bashed eachother all throughout this struggle for the white house.  Some people are so sick of politicians in general they won't even give these guys a chance. I can understand...but if you don't do your part and vote then what can you do? Nothing? Some would say you have  no right to bitch if you don't vote. I for one believe in freedom of speech and if something bothers you, voice it and be heard.

So let's go out and vote folks...and may the best man/woman win.
