My decision ’08
Okay, I give up, I have no idea which guy I am voting for President. I wanted Hillary Clinton, but she lost now we are down to these two knuckleheads. I know I will will vote, but I don't know for which one.
So, I when I ever have to make a hard choice I run down to "pros and con" of my choices. I want it to be known these are my opinions, and not what I think people think.
Barack Obama
Pros:
1. He speaks really well
2. His wife is pretty, they have good looking kids
3. He seems to have a personality
4. He is Pro-choice
5. He is not afraid to talk to people, in a language they can understand without sounding like he talks down to people.
6. He talks about getting out of Iraq, and killing Osama. (Why is he not dead yet?)
Con:
1. He is Black (Some whites see blacks as trained monkeys, but isn't that what we have had as president for the last 8 years)
2. He has an Arab sounding name (Internet rumors say he is an terrorist sleeper agent or a terminator controlled by cybernet)
3. Has had a crazy preacher as a close adviser.
4. Has never been on a "big stage" before. (whatever, I saw the stage he was on in the democrat national convention stage, that stage was pretty big)
5. Did not pick Hillary Clinton or some other big name democrat. (More then likely to keep him alive, I mean who wants Joe Biden as President)
6. Will raise taxes on upper middle class and up to pay for things like health care, education reform, and better treatment of our lower class.
John McCain
Pro:
1. He is not black
2. He is Irish
3. He is a Vietnam vet. (unlike my dad and George W. Bush)
4. He is a former POW in that same war
5. He has a normal, non-Arab sounding name.
6. Will not raise taxes, does not care about people making less money then him and his friends.
Cons:
1. He picked a "Stepford Mom" looking running mate in Sarah Palin, who at times sounds like a "I follow the proper path path in life, and you should too" kind of gal.
2. Both McCain and Palin are strongly against abortion, Palin even has said even in the result of rapes and incest. (Hey, if she can give birth to a down-syndrome kid, then everyone can do it, the medical cost be damned)
3. McCain is old and will not live to serve out a simple four year term. (That is what the media keeps saying)
4. Is out of touch with the normal folks
5. After getting out of a POW camp, came home to his formerly great looking wife (who was in a car wreck during the time he was away) to find she was not so pretty anymore, left her for a new pretty girl and divorced his wife who had waited for years to see him again.
So, I am still undecided, I guess I have a lot of debates to watch, and information to read. One thing I will be sure to vote on, not the platform, or what a candidate says, I will be voting on race. Yup, I will be basing my choice on unproven "facts" I read in an e-mail. Yup, because I sure don't want no black folk in no white house. Even if it means I continue to pay 20 bucks for 5 gallons of gas, and watching gas companies make billions of dollars in record profits.
Oh yeah, here is hoping we find out Sarah Palin's youngest babies daddy is really her brother who raped her, that way we know she has walked in the shoes of someone who has been there before. Now, then we would see what choice she would make then. ;)
