I have a hard time believing this. Not because I don’t know it to be true, but because why is it we believe so much in our party and not in our country. Voting should be for America. America should benefit by voting.
I am a student of history. I love the past. It is imagination fodder.
With the current state of our country, assuming you are reading this and call the States home, reminds me of pre-civil war America. The lines are so easily drawn. There are people who have no hope of working. 30% of African American males in New York City don’t have jobs. There are people hanging empty chairs.
I know, I know, to hang an empty chair does not mean anything, unless you happened to watched Clint Eastwood’s RNC address, he pretends that in an empty chair is Barack Obama. So the chairs hung in effigy are in fact a dangling representation of our president.
Where else have I seen this done… oh yeah the middle east, then someone burns an American flag and stomps on it.
I think Mitt Romney is a funny guy. He is the best candidate for president the republicans could have thrown up against Barack Obama if they secretly wanted Obama to win. I love how a vote for him would be a vote against 47% of the country. I love how they play a video from 2008 where Obama states you can’t change Washington from the inside. Its simple math there really, he was an outsider entering Washington to make changes. I love how Anne Romney is begging the press to take it easy on her and Mitt, because politics is hard and it is not easy doing this stuff.
When Obama ran for president, the toughest thing about him was his wife. As hard-nosed as he was I had a sense Michelle was even harder. She is the woman behind the man. A true power couple. He has charisma and she has the muscle, and then it can be reversed he is the muscle and she is the charisma. Anne and mitt can go back to being millionaires for all I care or billionaires or whatever the fuck they are. But honestly again I am more concerned with how divided we are as a nation. The vitriol, the angst and the pretend lynching’s. One side believes assault rifles are Ok, the other side believes owning a gun advocates murder.
Bringing words to a gun battle makes no sense so if it came to battle its not hard to imagine a winner.
I registered as Green party member here in New York, but am a pure independent, I would have voted for Ron Paul, I swear, but I am a green party member because it is my favorite color. If we competed in politics like we do in sports having a two leagues with one team a piece, sports would get either boring real fast or violent as hell when one side loses to the other.
I am scared for this country it feels like we have forgotten why we vote every four years, it truly is not for a favorite color people.
So again I ask, what is our future? Where are we going?
