When The Best You Can Do Is "Make Do"

Sarah Palin must be laughing her ass off right now...

I am so VERY tired of politics. Honestly, I don't see how politicians stand it for so long…Is the complete worship of impotence really that attractive?

I was looking over the list of candidates the other day, and I have to admit; we're in for some fucking bleak-assed days ahead. Like reading a menu in a restaurant that specializes only in recycled, three-day old food: Nothing looks good.

With the attempted privatization of Social Security and the now active NDAA, I have lost all faith in chocolate Jesus. (And believe me, I was RIDING HIS DICK beforehand.) I wanted to so desperately believe that he would at least attempt the job we had elected him for. I didn't vote for him because he was black, I didn't vote for him out of sympathy, and I didn't vote for him because "anybody is better than Bush". (Anybody probably WOULD have been, but that's not why I voted.)

The current problem I'm facing is that there is NOBODY on the bill that I would currently vote for over Obama. I mean, there is no "lesser of two evils" here...If Satan himself showed up on the ballots, he'd have a damn good chance for my vote, at this point.

Mitt Romney? Yeah, right - the day I vote for a Mormon will be the exact same day I stick a loaded gun up my ass and try to shave my taint with the barrel. The Mormon cult has gone a long way in at least covering their racist heritage, if not truly eradicating it. They put on smiles that would make a used car salesman envious, and glad-hand their preposterous beliefs under the cover of "family values" better than any zealot I have ever encountered. Their apologists are amongst the finest you will ever meet.

And they simply cannot wait to rescind emancipation, reduce women back into non-status and burn every homosexual in a slow-roasting pit.

Rick Santorum? You...You ARE joking, right? There's a reason his last name is synonymous with the most disgusting body fluid known to man. Ricky S., like all his opponents except Obama, is standing tall on the soapbox that God wants him to be the next leader of the free world, so they can "bring back family values". The problem being…Who the fuck wants a family like Rick Santorum's?

If his stance on gay marriage wasn't bad enough, his ideas about "Health Care Reform" qualify him as the single most retarded congressman running...right behind (see below)

Newt Gingrich - His name is Newt, and he's as delusional about God as Pat Robertson after a three week bender. He's as two faced about the Republican "family values" (so-called) as he is triple-jowled and disgusting. No more need be said.

And finally, Ron Paul. I will admit, I hadn't done much research about the man, prior to last month. But after hearing a few of his more Obama-esque speeches, I figured he deserved due shrift before I wrote him off. For the most part, I actually like what Ron Paul has to say…less interference from government at the federal level, closing of foreign bases, cutting to the core of our over-trampled legislature. He seems to be more grounded in reality than the other candidates, Obama included.

…Except, again – his religion. As both a Christian and an ob-gyn physician, Ron Paul is a staunch pro-lifer. So much so that he fully intends to overturn Roe Vs. Wade.

 

*sound of my support flying out the window*

All the other candidates want to do this as well, by the way – except Obama. He's just going to get us all black-bagged and held without trial. But overturning Roe V Wade would undo decades of struggle for women everywhere in America to choose whether or not to have a child. Leave out cases of rape or incest, many people get pregnant and simply cannot afford to raise a kid, ior aren't ready for one at that stage in their lives. Nothing more needs be said.

One of Ron Paul's more frequent quotes when defending his position on abortion is that "the morality changed" in the 60's, and people decided to take a different path in dealing with pregnancy.

Well, no…the morality didn't "change" - The morality evolved. Like it did in the mid 1800's, like it did in the early 1900's, and again in the early 1950's.

But, like all "Good Christians"…Ron Paul doesn't believe in evolution. Ergo, something great cannot have risen from something less.

This is truly at the heart of what bothers me about Ron Paul; he seems perfectly content to reduce the decades-long struggle women went through just to have the right to clean, safe abortions.

Understand…If you overturn Roe V Wade, there will STILL BE ABORTIONS. Just unsafe, back-alley cloak-and-dagger affairs, such as we had in frequency before the 1970's. And people will die – both women and their babies.

Why do pro-lifers feel so concerned with "the sanctity of life" only BEFORE it hits the birth canal? Where the fuck were these people when I was growing up in an orphanage? I didn't see anyone rushing to protest the children being cast off, hustled through the system and left to rot in some cell until they were 17. Either they're just a bunch of God-crazy hypocrites, or pants-on-head retarded where the true value of life is. Either way, they have no business outside an abortion clinic. But then again, stupidity is SUCH an elemental force.

...So, I just don't know. I'm extremely disappointed in Obama (This must be how Obi-Wan felt, after slicing off Anakin's legs..."You were supposed to bring BALANCE to the budget, not destroy it!") but despite the bullshit - he's still the better choice than what's up for grabs at the moment. I don't approve of everything he's done, and some of his actions teeter between blatant disregard for the country he's supposed to be leading to shocking naivety about how politics really works. Either he's incompetent, or still struggling with his presidential baby steps, I can't tell which.

*SIGH*

This would be a fantastic time for the Great Beast to rise and conquer the Earth. It would make voting easier, at least.
