For those in the US; (fuck you ‘but it affects the whole world!’ assholes. It matters but not THAT much. Your country chooses to be as effected as they are) we have the ultimate milquetoast battle coming up in November when Barack Obama (D) will take on John McCain (R) for the White House.
Is anyone really shocked by the choices? The guy who will be steamrolled into submission by Congress into doing what they want regardless of which party is in control (Obama) against the guy who is basically the definition of a moderate but probably won’t get his way very much.
Whoever wins, I’m calling a single term presidency. McCain because he is so goddamn old that I don’t know if he could last 2 terms and Obama because when he is off his cue cards he jams his foot in his mouth HARD; like worse than I’ve ever seen any major political candidate jam his foot in his mouth; yes even far worse than George W. Bush (who’da thunk that’d be possible?).
My friends, I tend to stay away from political endorsements as they always seemed a bit tacky to me.
Beyond that, it would kinda scare me if someone was taking advice from me (or any blog, paper etc columnist) about who they should vote for rather than examination of the facts and platforms presented by each candidate.
However, I now must implore you to vote for John McCain if Ms. Sarandon promises to keep her word as given to Liz Smith of the NY POST:
She says if John McCain gets elected, she will move to Italy or Canada. She adds, “It’s a critical time, but I have faith in the American people.”…What? You thought Susan of all people would be for Hillary Clinton? Well, no. She told John Hiscock: “I thought the whole point of feminism is that you’re not supposed to be defined by gender. I don’t understand the reasoning behind that, because I wouldn’t vote for Condoleezza Rice, and I hated Margaret Thatcher.”
Oddly enough, I do agree with her on the feminism thing. However, this whole ridiculous shit about ‘I swears I’ll move if candidate x of political party z is elected’ shit is getting old.
I enjoyed the first one so much I figured I’d toss in this classy gem of Hilary Clinton downing whiskey shots.
I have no delusions that politicians don’t drink, but c’mon. Downing whiskey shots to prove how ‘normal’ you are? Give it a fucking rest and decide on a platform before doing all this bullshit pandering, hil-dawg.
Listen, I don’t disagree that Tibet has been given the royal fuck job by the Chinese. However, I think if you are going to protest something you should at least know what the fuck you are talking about. Every idiot in this video had NO IDEA where Tibet was and the guy was only showing them a map of the general area of China!!
Sadly, this kind of shit is FAR too common in California and San Francisco in particular since we have possibly the largest population of trust fund babies in the US living here who have no job and nor career to occupy their time with so they’ll basically ‘rage’ against whatever you tell them they should.
Everyone of these morons should be embarrassed to have been seen on camera especially that “I’m a farmer, I’m and inciter’ douchebag.
