Up until this point I haven't discussed politics much. But, I figure that during this primary season there are a few things that I'd like to see change. They are as follows:
1. I don't want a president who thinks that their god is talking to them, telling them what to do. I beg to ask why one who says this, like President Bush, isn't required to have their head examined. I mean, if I went on TV tomorrow, or even if President Bush went on TV tomorrow, and said that Thor the god of thunder said to invade a soverign nation that was in actuality standing against another country, Iran, which we had a vested interest in seeing depressed, they would've carted him and I off to the nearest mental health facility. I mean, it's crazy that one could be hearing voices from Thor. Enough said. No more god talk.
2. Timetables. I don't want to hear a thing about timetables. What you're saying when you said "timetable" is simply this: We're looking to keep our troops there for a while longer, but I really, really promise that when this date or benchmark is reached, we'll leave. We promise. Give me a break. Leave now. How many more people must die before the timetable comes to fruition?
3. Past drug and / or alcohol abuse. I don't care what you did in the past. I want to know what you do in the present. If anything, past abuse should be seen as a good thing and even an accomplishment to have overcome, if of course, you're not still covering it up.
4. Civil campaigns. I don't want people kissing each other's asses on the debate scene. I want to make up my own mind, not simply get the pre-manufactured candidate that the other candidates, through fault or no fault of their own, have portrayed as better than themselves. Give me a break.
5. Immigration reform. This is not an issue. Ok. Do you get that. We have bigger problems. People are dying. The economy is crumbling. Wall Street is in freefall. Mortgage brokers are screwing families out of their money and their livelihoods. And President Bush is HEARING VOICES!
So then, who do we vote for? Well that's a good question and I'm not going to give you the answer here. That's not what the primaries are for. You'll have my opinion and my candidate for the general election and not before. Now we must vote the way we believe and in the next month or two, we'll know what options we're looking at for the next four years.
