Election '08

I'm overdue on my political blog for Texas Government as I cannot seem to find anything of value to write about. If I gave a damn about the political race, well there would be plenty to write about I'm sure. However, I don't. Yes, I know...what a disgrace I am to mankind, not to mention America. But to be frank and to the point, I honestly don't care who wins the election in ‘08. None of the candidates are "exciting" to me and I am sick and tired of hearing about "Obamaism" and whether or not the debates between him and Hillary are civil. Aren't there enough bad reality television shows on already without me having to be subject news of what who said about who?

This next presidential term will be one filled with red tape and lost promises. Wait, there are no promises…we are just being offered “more of the same” or “change for the sake of change,” and we will get exactly what we purchase – style, looks, and a good speaker. This election isn’t based on the issues; instead it’s based on who is theorized to win by the ladies on “The View” or whose photo graces the cover of “Time Magazine.” When the media speculates the winner it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

For whoever is elected into office, be it Hillary or Obama, no real, hard-hitting issues will be able to be corrected or brought to the table. Our future president will be occupied with correcting the already existing issues of our previous presidency. The American people will look to this new president, and his or her cabinet, and wonder why the free world hasn't been fixed…today. Why haven't all the troops been pulled from Iraq? What about health care, gun control, education, the war on drugs, and the homeless? And as expected, bodies will begin to drop like flies from the bandwagon of democracy so bumper stickers of political party denial can be displayed proudly on the back of the family SUV.
