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!

I think you were only right about one thing Bush is a fuck up.... but most of all you cant fix a country that has been messesed up for 8 years over nite....no white people complained when bush was fucking yall over but yet now that obama is president and has been in for a year....now you want to complain. In the state of indiana white folks is living good.... buying cars...living good nice houses.....nothing wrong.....the south side of town with the poor white folks are the ones thats holding everybody back. They complain they jobs is gone but do they realize that the rich factories they used to work for sent their jobs overseas for cheap labor....so how can you get mad now when your jobs have been gone for years?????? .......Now that some of yall have to stand in welfare lines..and unemployment...lines...now its a problem......these things have always been a problem......its called greed......those displaced factory workers who praised the rich business man ...need to take a second look and get some education ....when bush took office they knew those 24.00hr jobs..with no education wasnt going to last....and the rich business man figures...why pay 24.00 hr...when they can pay .50 a hr...overseas.....its not rocket science ya know....Who ever took office after bush of course is going to have a lot of problems...you got the Republicans ..saying no ...and the democrats saying yes........ if you want to go back to the old days and having everything move at a snails pace then go ahead and vote republican .......So don't get all Obama crazy when this stuff started way before him......

Lala,

Clearly, you're new to my blog. I'm mostly white with a good dose of Mexican thrown in, yet I'm Obama's biggest fan. Most of what I wrote was tongue-in-cheek. I wouldn't vote republican if you held a blowtorch to my nuts.

My point was that republicans have the balls to blame the economic mess on democrats while completely ignoring the previous 8 years under a republican president.

I just wish the democrats would stand up for themselves and get something done instead of being afraid of getting hurt politically.

Thanks for reading!

The problem is that the republicans are great at deflection when their policies fail. They'll figure out how to externalize the blame, and we'll be in another war.
