Go right ahead.

Convince me it won't or can't happen.

You know, I expect a lot of people are getting tired of me tooting the political horn and are getting annoyed by it. Well, I say people NEED to be annoyed. They need to get pissed off, and they need to get off their lazy asses and DO something about this happy horseshit.

We, as Americans, need to stand up and let the Way The Hell Far Right know that we will not accept this, we will not stand for this, and if they continue trying to push this utter schweinerei on us, we will drop them like the bad habits they are.

People, pay attention: GET OFF YOUR ASSES AND VOTE. The next stupid sonofabitch I see say anything about "my vote won't matter" gets buggered to death with their own left leg. If you don't vote, you don't get to complain. Bottom f'ing line. I have utter contempt for such thinking, especially in this case because if you don't think the very bedrock principles of American democracy are at stake here, then you're woefully mistaken.

I don't give a flying fsck if you like the Demos or Republicans. If you can look me square in the damn eye and say with a straight face any other political party stands a snowball's chance in hell of winning this election, I'll have to step back as the nice young men in the clean white coats will be along to collect you presently.

People call Bush evil, and I've done so myself. Frankly, I don't think he's smart enough to be evil. But the people around him are, and they prove it every single time they open their mouths. Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, every last man jack of that lot are spooky sonsofbitches right up there with Darth Vader or worse, Pat Boone in bondage gear at the Grammys the year he did that "In The Metal Mood" album.

Welcome to the new American Civil War, people. They started it, and by God we're going to stop it. Bottom fscking line.

Independent is all well and good. Yes, of course, vote for whoever fits your interests.


Except that in this election, even more than the last one, splitting the vote is an incredibly bad idea. It's going to be a Democrat or a Republican in the White House. There is absolutely no question of that. None. So the American public needs to decide which. Voting independent/Libertarian/whatever is precisely the same as voting for the Shrub.
