vote george

As the three debates come to an end, I've become very set in my choice (even though I can't vote -_-) for this election. I say George Dubyah had better get reelected for four more years (which is ironic for me, because before this pre-election stuff started I was very anti-war and anti-Bush). Kerry is a lying, flip-flopping hypocrite. Honestly, I don't know what my grandmother is feeding off of (besides Kitty Kelly and all the other idiots with a bone to pick and a lot of free time) that makes her see John Kerry the way she does. And just f.y.i., she basically sees Kerry as a god. Hmm.

What I don't understand is why we are in such turmoil over who started what and who pulled what strings to get us into Iraq. The reality is this: the intelligence was faulty, but the world is still safer because Saddam is gone, and whether we like it or not, we are in Iraq and we need to finish the job. The question is not about what happened two or three years ago, but which candidate can best lead the country in the war that we are now stuck in. John Kerry, it seems, would like to believe that if he just closes his eyes and covers his ears and raises our taxes, all the terrorists will go away and Iraq will clean itself up. Do we honestly want someone like that in office? I know I don't.

If anybody's credibility is on trial here, it's the CIA. Why aren't we seeing anti-Tenet (former CIA head) 527's playing adverts about his war records? Gotta love those 527's. They can pull just about anything out of their butts, put it on TV using those hefty donations (that were supposed to be regulated), and whether it is true or not, it delivers some pretty damaging blows. Everyone sees commercials. Not nearly as many people actually watch the news, or check sources, or make sure that what they're being told is correct. All this turmoil is so divergent from the real issues at hand, it makes me so annoyed and frustrated.

But what bothers me the most is when you are trying to discuss the candidates with people (for example, my dear grandmother, who has the best spaghetti sauce and is so sweet, but is very misguided), they reference effing Michael Moore and then they try to claim they're not biased. The second you give Michael Moore one ounce of credit for presenting true and unprejudiced facts, you throw your own credibility out the window. Honestly, the man won't even go on Larry King Live and defend his 'documentary', tsk tsk God forbid, because he knows that it's all fabricated bull. But once again, true or not, people take it seriously. So then people swallow so many conspiracy theories and lies that they get this mentality where absolutely everyone is out to get them, and then when people who actually know what they're talking about try to straighten them out, the conspiracy junkies and democraps go 'OMG! PROPOGANDA!' And before you know it, a semi-intelligent discussion has turned into 'is not!' 'is too!' 'is not!' 'is too!' Honestly. Beneath the satin ties and the nicely starched shirts and the political citations, people are morons.

You should vote for George Bush because he rocks. And because he's not John Kerry.

And because Dick Cheney kicks butt.
