I Have Decided...

That I hate you all.

I saw that video earlier and I wanted to die.

Gun. Bus. Demented walrus.

I'm not picky.

I'm sorry. I can't unsee what I have seen, so I thought I'd spread the horror to brighten your day.

Seriously, who reading this blog actually believes in Hillary? Show of hands.

Next, why?

I'm curious.

Keep in mind that I vote independently (split ticket) every time. I have yet to pull the Red Vs. Blue levers and I doubt I will ever do so. Each candidate has to earn my respect, otherwise forget it.

Basically, my current stance is this:

1) Hillary = No fucking way in hell.

I've had enough of the Clinton Political Bullshit Machine and I think after everything I've seen from both Hillary and Bill over the years, it's beyond time to ship them home.

I don't believe I can trust Hillary. I think her health care plans are just as screwed as they were back in the early 90's. I can't align myself to most of her other policies, mostly because I have yet to hear completely honest answers as to what her stances are.

She has a credibility problem in my eyes and I wonder if people are catching that now since Obama's numbers have been shooting up very recently or not. Her sudden campaign to make herself "look caring and human" is little more than whitewash political imaging.

Remember Whitewater, filegate, travelgate, Vince Foster. All that was never fully explained to my satisfaction.

Recall the millions of dollars this country wasted because Bill was a cheating whore and decided that even though he damned well knew he would be caught, he decided that the needs of himself far outweighed the needs of his country.

If they'd really cared, Bill would have given a brief, "Yeah, sorry, my bad" speech and the press would've forgot about it two days later. Nobody would have cared.

Instead, thanks to Bill (and a cocky, rather foolish GOP controlled congress), we were treated to the biggest colossal waste of time ever: Bill's Impeachment Trial.

Look, I'm not a fan of the current Bush either. If we're going for change, can we please ditch the Bush/Clinton cycle NOW before we waste 4-8 years with someone who, quite frankly, gives me serious pause about the future of our government?

2) Obama = Maybe.

I'm still reading up on the guy before I pass my personal judgment on him. He came from out of nowhere in this contest, so I'd like to know more about him before I praise or mock him and his candidacy.

3) McCain = Dear lords, not this shit again.

Quite honestly, I'm rather surprised that he actually has a shot this time around. I'll give this to McCain, he's persistent.

McCain may be more willing to work across the aisle, but I can't say that I'm a total fan of him personally or his policies. The other thing I'm curious about...

...am I the only one who forgets that McCain was one of the Keating Five?

Guess everyone was caught up in S&L woes back then, right? Huh...

I'm not a fan by any stretch, but we shall see how this plays out.

I'm not holding my breath for that knight on a white horse who'll come to save this country. That, I know, will never happen this year.

Man. The Keating Five situation was before my time -- well, not really, but well before I was politically conscious -- but yeah, that's some total crap right there.

It does annoy me that nobody remembers anything but the Monica Lewinsky scandal, though. That's nothing compared to the pardons, or to the whole scandal with the People's Republic of China financing his campaign. I don't know much about that, but it don't sound right. heh.

So yeah. No more Clinton, no more Bush. I'm still leaning towards Obama. But, well, who knows what will actually go down in the coming months.... And this article makes some interesting points: http://www.gnn.tv/headlines/16779/When_Change_Is_Not_Enough_Seven_Steps_to_Revolution
