Bush has ruined any republicans for me right now. I didn't believe in the war, and I still don't. I'm all for Obama. Whoo Obama!!! 

"Urban legends go well with parmesan and horror. In fact their name is conveniently one and the same: Stevie."

I have to make a comment on the post referencing "the lesser of several evils". Why choose? Let me ask you this... Would you prefer the greater evil to win? If you wait for the "perfect" candidate to come along, then you'll be waiting forever. In your utopia, politicians would be humble, wise, and propelled by the people to a positions of power. Sadly, this isn't the world we live in. The power we do have as individuals is a vote, and to expess your opinions and positions to the public (a blog?). Of course there is also the option of running for public office yourself. You know, fix the broken system from the inside?

To vote for who YOU want to represent you. Not voting removes whatever small influence you do have. One vote might not make a difference in the presidential election, but by telling others that voting doesn't matter, or that there is no one worth voting for can certainly have a ripple effect.

A quick note on Obama... Did you know his middle name is Hussein? Crazy, huh? Did you know that his formative years were spent in a Islamic elementary school, called a "medrassa". Among other things he was taught the Koran and Sharia law. This was in Jakarta, Indonesia where is stepfather was working. Strangely, Barack was even listed in the school's records as a Muslim, which he says was a recording error. To be fair this Madrassa did have students of different faiths, and wasn't considered radical like many other schools in the area.

"Barack Obama’s associations include ties to far left billionaire George Soros and others who claim solidarity with the Nation of Islam. Most Obama supporters are likely unaware of this or do not recognize the grave danger of these facts."

Other than that stuff, and a few other interesting facts, I like the guy. Hell, who isn't for change and hope!

I tried to stay off this post because I knew it was going to turn into a screed and yes, it has.
Hussein is one of the most common names in the world.  Maybe not in East Bodunk, Illiniois, but in the rest of the world.  Who gives a rat's ass if Obama's middle name is Hussein or if he went to a religious school.
I'm not going to vote for the man, but his being or not being muslim has NOTHING to do with my decision and if it has anything to do with yours, you need to ask yourself why.
I don't care if a person is a Catholic, Muslim, Jew, Buddhist or Athiest.  What I care about is their integrity and if they are going to put the good of the country before their own ego.
I live one mile from the Xcel Center in St. Paul.  Since new security laws ensure that protests and protesters aren't allowed within 2 miles of El Jefe the War Criminal (Bush), I wonder if the feds are going to put me up in a nice hotel in the burbs.  I'm still thinking about climbing up on my roof and painting "Jail all the murdering MoFo's" in neon paint.  The ABC helicopter jocks might enjoy that.

Shouldn't we all just simply support the Siglerissimo as a write-in candidate?

Duh!

I believe my past played a role in my strong feelings about voting and government/politics in general. When I was 18 I got in trouble with the law. Felony offence (anabolic steroids ITD). A black mark on my record so dark and deep that from that moment forward (till recently) I would be haunted by it. Thankfully, I didn't go to jail or serve any time, but I did get 5 years probation. What I didn't realize at the time... was what having a felony on your record as an adult, in the professional world, will do to your employability and career options. Hell, when I was 18 anything that didn't include bars and hardcore felon types sounded go to me. So, I was happy to plead out when I heard that I wouldn't be going to the slammer (Angola was a real option for the judge... the Farm, ya know?). I could put all this foulness behind me, right? Nope. Back to my point... I wasn't allowed to vote from 1998 till 2005, when I had the charges expunged. Thankfully I qualified for a relatively new program called "Louisiana Non-Violent First Time Offender Program". In the court room with me during my expungement hearing was a 55 year old African American woman who 35 years ago was arrested for underage drinking and when caught she ran from the policeman. Apparently back then in the 9th ward of New Orleans the police could get a little rough. She was charged with resisting arrest (a felony). Since has been married, had children, her oldest had children, she completed college, then nursing school. After all of that she was denied a nursing license because of that event 35 years ago. I on the other hand don't kids or a family, but I did get a political science degree and finished graduate school with a masters in P.S. The moral of the story is that sometimes you don't appreciate what you have till it's no longer available to you.

Anyway, I've went way off track. It's late and I am just writing to write. Chapter 20-22 of Infected kicked ass. I'm almost at the end of The Rookie, then I'll be waiting for the next thing like the rest of you.

Adios for now.

-i see it daily. hard to convince them otherwise (teenagers know everything, ya know). some realize they need to change their ways BEFORE the magic 18 b-date, most do not. some never do...

i had a whole rambling rant about this, but, i will leave it with this, Bush is an idiot.

Maybe not. Mass murderer?  I think so. Here's a man who sent thousands of people to their deaths just to get 1 man. Well, Saddam died a long time ago and now Bush is too stubborn to just get our boys out or too stoopid to figure out how to do it while looking like a hero. He wanted to 1 up his dad and 9-11 was just what he needed. To the rest of America, 9-11 was horrendous. To W, it was an excuse. OK, Bush said "Mission accomplished". Where the hell are our troops, then? Why are they still dieing for a country that never wanted them there? When will the last American die because of this Presidents ego?

ROFL!  "mission accomplished" yes we accomplished some missions, however thats not what that banner was saying.
its sad how little anti-bush people actually know about what they say...

to start: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2003/01/20030128-19.html
read this before you say anything about the motives of the war in iraq
secondly: if George Bush is stupid, who did you vote for in 2004 or 2000? George Bush got better grades at Yale(he also attended Harvard) than Kerry. He did better on his college placment and officers exams than gore or kerry
third: "mission accomplished". that banner was requested by the commanding officer of that  ship, where Bush was speaking to congradulate the crew on the completion of their mission in the actual "war" in Iraq(which lasted only two weeks by the way, what going on now i like to call the "conflict' in Iraq).  even if you took it to mean that the war was over IT WAS! if you took it to mean one of our  goals was met, MANY WERE!
whew that was a lot of typing...

-i said nothing concerning his crimminality, but he has abused his position, he has lied, he has allowed others to take blame where it is his due, he has forgiven wrong doing of his staff and supporters while vilifying those who point to the truth, he's the president and talks like he grew up in the sticks with little or no education, he had no business running for president much less winning (or should i say stealing) the presidency (thank you brother jeb) all clinton was guilty of was not keeping his pants zipped and he got impeached, bush lied (he was not misinformed) we went into iraq, people died and continue to die, my son will have troubles due to his tour in iraq and he wasn't even infantry. there has too much wrong doing by this presidency, he is at fault, not his aides or his advisors. him, it is HIS presidency, not theirs, the fault s his for having the wrong people in positions of power and his fault for taking their advise and believing their lies. his fault for not having things double triple checked and his fault for not standing up saying it is his fault. truman said it best, the buck stops here... if he is such a patriot then he needs to stand up and admit to his follies and take what ever comes. all politicians try to weedle outof responsibility for their actions, both parties, clinton is a prime example, but he finnally admitted the truth, so can bush, but he won't, can't, doesn't know how. ok enough of my rant. I am from TEXAS, he was a bad governor he's been a bad president, 'nuff said
