Who really cares?

So I’m truly disturbed at how blind and utterly idiotic some people are in the way they turn a blind eye or a deaf ear to the truth. Or is it people still make decisions in this world based on Faith, a roll of the dice, the popularity contest, a gut feeling or just plane simply… on what others tell them. As Americans we are so quick to judge someone based on what they do in their personal lives and we fail to pass equal judgment on those that lie, betray, and beseech our support for “truths” and in turn put our entire country into further jeopardy. It’s all about who you like despite the pitfalls of what’s behind them right… I’m talking about our current gov. administration. The same clan of people who have totally disregarded our own set of values, freedoms, and safety for their own personal gains.

We have an administration that has allowed attacks on our own soil to occur, ignoring warnings, and used them to further their own agendas for controlling freedoms, “tightening security” and increasing spending on governmental sponsored programs (and companies) to further their own interest (as well as their friends).

A government that is destroying the environment, by refusing environmental impact standards so big businesses can save money.

A government that has taken our country to war based on falsified and unchecked information from sources that we instilled in the country – the same sources that were selling American secrets to other countries. Where’s the WMDs? And now that we know the war is for Oil, Why the Fuck am I still paying 2.60 for gas!!! Who did the war benefit exactly?

And now we have an election year where half of the people (half those polled) seem to still want this type of repressive, lying, greedy, disrespectful, and fat cat government.

I heard the other day a republican say… “Ya know I really don’t like Bush, I don’t like what he’s done with the country. But I’m not voting for Kerry.” Why I ask. “Well at least with Bush I know what bad I can expect.”

WHAT THE FUCK kinda reasoning is that! Oh well Bush has put America in the largest deficit ever, alienated all but 2 allies, took over 2 countries – which he still has failed to help build back up as promised, our economy heading into the shit, job loss is at record highs, and our environment is down the drains… Hmmm Well I don’t see how ANYONE can fuck it up worse than Bush already has and I would hate to see how much worse 4 more years does to this country…

Last I hate to hear this whole thing about “Swing States”. It’s like the media projects on to the country that only these states will decide the election because it’s virtually already decided whom all the other states will vote for… Hmmm Great way to instill the virtues of voting for our younger generation.. “You have to get out and VOTE!!! .. but only if you live in the swing states because it doesn’t matter in the others…

I’d be shocked to see an increase in younger voter turn out after this Republican spin job…If you’re 18-24 I suggest you vote Kerry unless you WANT the draft to be reinstated and want to ride in badly armored vehicles in Iraq, you WANT further lying to the American people, you WANT more hidden government… Good luck guys….

Do you really care about the life you have and the life your children will be left with? Then Just Vote – No matter where you are…

What! I don’t get a choice?

So I went to the polls today. I figured for the last 2 years I didn’t get the right to vote for one reason or another…. I moved… I didn’t have a valid driver’s license…I was out of country whatever…

I went to the local baptist church and and walked in the side door. A nice lady asked if I wanted coffee, I replied with some comment about votes coming to the polls these days half-a-sleep and she fell out of her chair laughing… good stuff. The guy stepping up in front of me had the same sample ballot as I – the independent – I figured if I got this one, I’d have the option to choose anyone… Well he was having an argument with the 82 yr grandma about his right to vote…so I eaves dropped.

Apparently there’s a new restriction at the polls that if you choose Democrat, you can only vote for democratic candidates at the polls… If you choose Republican, only republican and Independent all the others (Green, Independent, Freedom etc.) No cross voting….. He and I both agreed this was bullshit. What if I wanted to vote for a Republican Supreme court judge, a Green party president and a Democrat for Senator? Nope she said… you don’t get a choice… you go with your party and that’s it!

Is this some scheme to get more votes for Bush by tying you to a claimed party. Once you’re in you can’t get out type of fraternal ruling? Basically you have to go with the party you wanted to vote for, in the presidential primary and everything else fell in line…

It might have something to do with the new touch screen voting machines… which if made by Diebold…I have issues with (I didn’t record any signs).

After some gripping I got an electronic key card which I entered into a voting machine. I went through the tedious touch screen voting for the candidates while the lady next to me couldn’t figure out where the pencil was to vote with. After done the machine burned my choices back onto the card key. I then handed this to a gentleman that tossed the key into a basket on the table….thinking wow this is really secure. What’s to stop me from adding 10 keys to this basket with my votes.. or removing some? And who knows if the guy carrying the basket will walk by the church fridge and demagnetize all the votes everyone came out to cast…

NE Way… I’ve done my duty so I guess I know have a right to bitch if something doesn’t go my way… something the majority of you sheep out there can’t say because you feabily think “my vote doesn’t count”….
