I'm voting Republican

You heard right. I'm sick of weak-ass democrats whining that they can't do anything without 60 votes - too frightened of a republican filibuster. I'm tired of democrats talking about social change but not having the courage of their convictions. I'm disgusted by the "we're on the side of what's good and proper" mindset which hampers any chance of winning the upcoming elections.

But, most of all, I'm 100% sick and tired of hearing republicans bitch about the state of the union while completely ignoring the previous 8 years of bush that fucked it up in the first place. Somehow all of the problems that we face as a nation are the fault of President Obama and his evil crew of socialist-communist-fascist supporters.

So I say, vote republican this year. Put them back in power and let's see what happens. Elect those tea-party asshats and see what they come up with to fix the economy and create growth.

They say that those who won't learn from history are doomed to repeat it - I believe that will be the case.

I view republicans the same way I view children - if I can't make them understand something, then they just won't believe it. If I tell my kids that they need to go to bed at 10pm because otherwise they'll be too sleepy to do well in school the next day, they'll argue with me since they think I'm just sending them to bed to get them out of my hair. They refuse to believe that I'm actually looking out for their well-being.

And, like children, republicans are easily frightened. Look at Glen Beck's ratings if you don't believe me. He runs entirely on fear. Fear that the brown man is going to steal your job; fear that all muslims are secretly working for Al Qaeda; Fear that Obama is a nazi/socialist who wants to create a new welfare state by stealing all the money from those poor, hard-working rich people and give it to those no-account, sub-human, poor people. A new-age Robin Hood, if you will.

So, I say fuck it. Even if everything everybody ever wanted, democrat or republican, suddenly came true, it still wouldn't be enough. People would still bitch and complain. Democrats want to save everyone from themselves and republicans want to decide everybody else's morality while trying to squeeze every last nickel out of every human being on the planet.

Sadly, the sane portion of the country - that 70% or so in the middle - doesn't give enough of a shit to actually go out and vote. So, it's left to the fringes to determine the future of our society. Good luck with that!
