ELECTION 2008

"The days are down to a precious few ..THANK GOODNESS!"

So, are you about as sick of this long drawn out futility as I am?
frankly, I'm not THAT hot on politics, except for the British and Canadian Elections..and for some bizarre reason Venezuelan,french,norweigan and Mexican elections, this one is not that interesting to me AT ALL.

See, Personally it dont matter who we vote for to run this country, our votes for president dont actually matter, its this mysterious "ELECTORIAL COLLEGE" whose dictum is the law,we only matter with the popular vote,and as we all know, even THAT dont really matter, remember 2000 and 2004?

While I do and will continue to vote , this whole campaign has turned me off..
both Obama and McCain have been running on dirt and have not really focused on the issues.

BUT first, I need to address my radio co-ho Ducksoup
See last night he pitched a royal fit because ..I DONT WATCH AMERICA'S NEWS TOILET MSNBC! (dramatic sting) *gasp*

Yes.. I admitedly DO watch CURRENT TV,FOX NEWS CHANNEL but I also add WDIV,WLAJ,WLNS,AND FOX 2 among other fox stations newscasts on livenewscameras.com
I also watch Telemundo, France 24,BBC,ITN,BBCAMERICA,and TV AZTECA along with TELEVISA ,KTLA,WPIX,I dabble in WFLA and WALB, I read the Detroit Freep and the Detroit News,and other newspapers and I read Huffington and Debbie Schlussel.. so what!?

See, I am among many who dont enjoy being shouted at or told what to think,who to vote for,and if I dont vote for the person the host says I should that i am not being a true and real american.
And thats MSNBCs new gig for both Maddow and Olberego, all they are is ripping off some of TVs famous TV hot heads, in fact if you draw a mustache on maddow and put glasses on her you'd think it was actually THE OLBEREGO in drag!
The act is stale, and rather BORING, and frankly im tired of a news channel and a news organization giving a canadate a big old blow job. and not only admitting it...BUT LOVING IT..how's that feel MSNBC/NBCNEWS??


Yes, I do enjoy watching FOX NEWS because..I GET IT! and with that I am no better or worse than the next person, I enjoy the variety of news I get from all sources, and I am a RED EYEer! I mean that and Text Me TV make overnights fun!
I listen to Sports talk radio and FOX Radio,.but for those who need to know further, here is who I watch on FNC:

FOX & FRIENDS
AMERICA's NEWSROOM
FOX NEWS LIVE
RED EYE
HANNITY AND COLMES
GERALDO AT LARGE
STUDIO B
FOX REPORT
ON THE RECORD
RED EYE

I am not a republican, I am not a democrat, I am IN-DE-PEN-DENT! proud one too!

My dad ,(god bless his soul) a vet of Korea and Nam, instilled in me this .."Dont allow ANYONE to tell you what to think, say or do, you are your own person, think for yourself,let no one decide for you" and since I was allowed to vote, I voted for whom I thought would help this country, knowing that the only ones who legally can change this country are the men and women of the senate and house. the President is a figurehead in name only.

So to my pal of 25 years, who i am ..is ME ive not been brainwashed, im not in anyone pocket, I am who I have always been ..ME! A free thinking, creative wombat who would rather vote for who HE thinks is the best to run this country, I dont need A crooked organization like ACORN to tell me otherwise.

Now then, despite what President lunkhead and his minions have said, and the constant idiotcy of Obama and McCain, we ARE and have been in a big ass Depression, with the economy in a complete tailspin, not even a $750 mill economic band aid could help, we have been slapped back into reality by the greed of those who get $450 mill retirement parachutes, and a housing glut of mortages that finally have done the impossible, and now we as a nation are scraping that bottom of the barrell, and George W Bush just dont get it, the economy is NOT getting better, its getting worse! as worse as his popularity ratings.

We are in a big glut of funk! and its going to take about 5 years to take care of, can you believe that in Clintons double tour we had a surplus and live was good, well welcome to Bush era, and its like NIXON RETURNED FROM THE DEAD!!
its not going to get better quickly, you just better realize that we are now a changed nation. we are no longer feared as the most powerful nation in the world, that my friends now belongs to China, "The Great Satan" as Iran's leader long ago deemed us has been distroyed from within, starting with an inept leader who should never have been given a second term.
the person who becomes the new president, will have a shitload of problems to take care of , but again..he will have to hash it out with those who CAN and DO make the rules...good luck!


And if you dont understand where I am coming from..to borrow a phrase from Greg Gutfield from "FOX NEWS' Red Eye" ..then you sir are worse than Hitler!
