So, here goes my first blog. I've heard about them and I figured that I'd give it a shot. Hell, I have just as much to say as anyone else. The election of 2008! It, like so many other elections before, is becoming yet another dirty word sitting upon the collective tongue of America. Like many of my fellow citizens, I looked to this election as a chance for something new/different and hoped that the candidates would stick to their promises to talk about issues. Boy do I feel stupid! Like the battered spouse who believes that "this was the last time" I stepped face first into the bullshit right cross and took another toothless gum at irony. My gripe this time out is with both candidate's campaign managers. The only thing these morons have to say is how stupid the other candidate is. Attack, attack, attack, attackackackack. . . it echoes in my sleep. I feel so letdown because I felt that finally, we had two solid choices and two candidates who would talk to us in an intelligent manner about what is important to us; instead, we get the political version of the national enquirer. I could see this tactic with the last election because, let's face it, both candidates were morons. I had hoped for the better this time and I should've known better. Let's face the music, both sides have engaged in this; neither one is innocent. I just wish that once in my lifetime, a politician would earn my vote by telling me their contributions and how they will benefit me instead of "the other guy is worse." Take care my friends.
