It's a first for me!

This is the first time my vote for president ever counted. That is, it's the first time I voted for the eventual winner.

1992 - Perot (I was young)
1996 - Perot (I was drunk)
2000 - Gore (It would have been better than Bush)
2004 - Kerry (It would have been way way way better than Bush)
2008 - Obama (It makes me happy Bush won in the two prior elections, because without his idiocy these last 8 years Obama would have never become president)

Wooo freakin Hooo!!!

Move over baby boomers, Gen X and Gen WE are here to stay. Oh, and they vote too.

One of the biggest reasons Obama won this election is because he truly identified with the young voters. Young people, who I shall group as 18-29 know that the future is bleak at best for them unless we have a paradigm shift in American politics. That's largely why Obama took such a high percentage of the young vote.

The GOP (Grumpy Old Pharts) has lost touch with many of the voters, especially in the under 60 category. If the GOP expects to get back in the white house, they are going to have to redefine themselves to appeal to the younger generations.

As for our national security, playing stodgy old hard ball with rouge nations doesn't work. Bush proved that. It's time to open a dialogue with these nation's leaders and work with them on their issues. Nothing pisses off people that want attention more than ignoring them, so lets at least see what they have to say, then if they are still being idiots, Nuke the F---ers.

Okay, that's enough for now.

So ya want to be a Republican?

This is what some typical moron Republican did to my Obama sign. Please note that my sign is hand made from scrap plywood because presumably the same moron stole my actual Obama sign that I got at a the campaign headquarters.

Nice huh?

Oh, I am leaving the sign up so the rest of the world can see what Republicans are like.

More to come...

2 days to go

And go is what the Republicans will be doing, going away from the white house that is.

I can't wait to have a REAL president. I mean one that is an advocate for all Americans. One that has the ability to lead with dignity and honesty.

I have to wonder what it is that makes a Republican think that all the problems of the economy were caused by the Democrats. After all, Republicans have held the white house for 24 out of the last 32 years. The only time the economy was really in good shape during this time was when a Democrat was in the white house. I think the 24 years of republican economic policies have now been proven that they really don't work.

Trickle down economics. Yeah right. When was the last time a CEO decided to forgo his annual gazillion dollar bonus and trim his salary in order to pay for benefits for the employees. It never happens. Why? Greed! We live in a "more is better" society and therefore whoever is in a position to gain more does. Nothing trickles down.

Mark my words. In four years the Republicans are going to complain the Obama hasn't got the economy back on track and that a new Republican president is the answer. There is no way we can dig ourselves out of the hole George Dubya has put us in within a single presidential term. It is way easier to break something than to fix it. And right now it isn't just broken it's freakin smashed and trampled on. I think a dog even came along and peed on it. That would be the trickle down part.

Religion, especially Christianity is the biggest problem in American politics today.

Believing in god and all that it encompasses is the same as believing that WMD's were the real cause for the debacle in Iraq. There never has been and never will be any proof of either WMD's or God.

Faith is crap. It's just a cop-out in order to buy into something without really examining what is real and what is not. Faith is defined as: Belief that does not rest on logical proof or material evidence. This is the guise that Republicans and Christians use to guide their decisions.

Just read the letters sent in to the newspaper about the election. It is very rare to see a letter from a Democrat that even mentions God or Jesus. Almost every single letter written in support of Republicans is littered with G's and J's. It is absolutely mind boggling to me that people still use their religion as their guide when voting.

Why can't people leave religion out of politics? I wouldn't have any problem with religion if religious people didn't use G and J as their guide for truth. I mean honestly, G and J have become the go to answer for people when they can't prove their point. They just throw in some crap about God will guide us and Jesus died for us and a bunch of other conjecture. And to them it's the same as truth.

Abortion. Okay, I know this is a really hot topic so I won't go into pro choice or pro life. I just want to point out that the president does not decide the laws on abortion. The supreme court has that power, at it's discretion, to hear cases on this issue. So why would you vote for president based on this issue? I know you're first argument is that the president selects the supreme court justices. Fine, but the president can't tell them how to think or decide. And really, the justices themselves are supposed to use the Constitution and Bill of Rights, etc. to guide them and decipher, not their personal feelings.

Oh, and don't forget to vote. In order to clear-up any misconceptions, Democrats vote on the 4th, Republicans vote on the 5th. It's a new system they are using this year to ease the lines at the polling locations.
