Hopefully within 24 hours of this writing (hell, it had better be 12) every sign, every poster, every commercial, every radio ad, and every single thing dealing with things like ELECTIONS or OBAMA or MCCAIN or BIDEN or PALIN or anything else having to do with POLITICS will go away.
I am sick to death of it. I want it over. I want it all gone. I voted early this morning, so let it be DONE now. Pull up the signs, pull the commercials, take out the ads in the newspapers and on the radio. Call it. It's over. The war for votes has ended. Those dummies who A) can't make up their minds or B) refuse to should stuff it now and go vote in the damned election.
I'm all for the democratic process but this has been going on nigh two years. TWO. FRELLING. YEARS.
I, of course, voted for Obama. I'm not much for spreading my political opinion much (would be why I haven't brought it up here before) but I decided a long time ago to vote for whoever offended me the least. And McCain offended me just by his pose in some of the debates, by the look on his face when Obama would speak, and for his choice of the governor of Alaska...
All right, I'm taking off the gloves now.
Frankly, Palin terrifies me. She muddles through questions that I could have answered better. She's already got a scandal going on. She seems to have some colloquialism to her speech that I wouldn't have dared bring to something as serious as a presidential race. And she thinks she's got foreign policy experience by being positioned next to Russia (I have more foreign policy experience with my four months abroad in England, Ireland, and Italy.)
I honestly can't see why McCain picked her when he could have picked so many other people to do the job, especially when his own health isn't very good and he could potentially leave HER running this country...ooh. That freaks me out.
McCain himself seems like your typical Republican-grumpy, angry, bitter, and he doesn't win points with me by having voted with Bush so often. Bush has been a pretty bad president and voting with him most, if not all of the time, doesn't sit well with me.
But Obama seems like an honest guy (well, as honest as politicians can ever be). He seems like he actually wants to help people instead of just wanting the power, prestige, money, and historical thumping power that he'll get if he wins this thing tonight.
And on top of that, he voted against the damn war we're in in Iraq. I protested the war before it got started (stood on the sidewalk and got obscenities screamed at me out of barely cracked car windows), so I would go for someone who thought the same thing I did at the time.
I still protest this war; still hate it, but now I stay away from anti-war rallies because now that it's popular to be anti-war, now everybody is, and the loonies who have joined the anti-war movement have turned me off protests.
So, hopefully Obama wins tonight. I think we need someone with new ideas in the presidency, and even with his inexperience I think he's capable of learning quickly and thinking on his feet.
Besides, McCain can barely stand on his without a walker.
Ta,
Bec
