this is me ranting to my sister about the election. i don't blame you if you don't read it.
thetourist5: i'm so scared mccain is going to win
homestarmyofone: yeahhhhh
homestarmyofone: it's looking more in favor of him now than it was a couple months ago
thetourist5: yeah
thetourist5: well there's always hype after a convention
thetourist5: and fucking PALIN
homestarmyofone: yeahh
thetourist5: the most inexperienced worthless cunt of a politician ever
thetourist5: she hasn't done one interview yet
homestarmyofone: hahaha
thetourist5: and every time she speaks the press is blocked from the stage
homestarmyofone: why?
thetourist5: she just memorizes sound bits that mccain's campaign gives her
thetourist5: because she's not prepared to handle questions regarding the presidency
thetourist5: she doesn't know enough
homestarmyofone: yeah
thetourist5: but she's gonna have to debate with biden
thetourist5: SHE WILL BE DESTROYED
thetourist5: and these new fucking campaign ads
thetourist5: making mccain sound like the agent of change
thetourist5: ok, they ran one ad saying obama voted for a bill that says kids should learn about sex before they learn to read
homestarmyofone: what were they referring to?
homestarmyofone: ... anything?
thetourist5: all the bill was was something saying that kids should learn what's not appropriate for another person to do to them
homestarmyofone: wow
thetourist5: aka telling them about sexual predators and molestation
homestarmyofone: yeah
thetourist5: that's the kind of campaign republicans run
thetourist5: the play politcs like none other and the people in this country eat it up
thetourist5: honestly that's probably why clinton had a better chance
thetourist5: because she's shameless like the republicans
homestarmyofone: yeah
thetourist5: they ran another ad saying that obama is offering nothing but the same old liberal policies
thetourist5: as if republicans haven't been running the country for the past decade
thetourist5: and by running i mean running into the ground
thetourist5: do you know anything about the federal deficit?
homestarmyofone: explain to me, wise one
thetourist5: right, so the federal debt is how much money the government has spent that it didn't earn through taxes, right?
homestarmyofone: right, i know that much
thetourist5: so they had to borrow the money from elsewhere
thetourist5: well clinton almost paid down the deficit
thetourist5: bush's first year in office saw the budget pretty much balanced
thetourist5: now, you know how the republicans always run on a platform of small government and little spending?
homestarmyofone: umm no
thetourist5: well that's what they always say
homestarmyofone: right
thetourist5: they say small federal govt and that they'll cut taxes etc etc
thetourist5: and spend less
thetourist5: ok, now look at this graph
thetourist5:
http://www.lafn.org/politics/gvdc/Natl_Debt_Chart.htmlhomestarmyofone: holy crap
thetourist5: that's all the money bush has spent
thetourist5: so we're in debt and obama (god willing) is going to have to clean up after bush
homestarmyofone: wow
thetourist5: and get this
thetourist5: republicans talk about tax cuts
thetourist5: well, bush did cut taxes
thetourist5: but it doesn't matter. because he cut taxes and the spent more than he had
thetourist5: so our econonmy is fucked no matter what
homestarmyofone: yeah
thetourist5: you may get more back in taxes, but you're still making less money, and the dollar is worth less, so you're really not any better off
thetourist5: and chances are better that you'll be unemployed
homestarmyofone: yeah
homestarmyofone: that's a good point
thetourist5: now do you understand why i'm so mad about this fucking election
homestarmyofone: yes
thetourist5: it's all such bullshit
thetourist5: the republican party has bullshit coming out of their ears their so full of it
thetourist5: but the general populous is too dumb to realize it
thetourist5: and so it works
homestarmyofone: yeah
thetourist5: people don't care that the economy is completely fucked up. they care that one of the guys obama worked to build communities with in chicago turned out to be a radical leftist in the 60s
thetourist5: or that the pastor at a church he went to twice a month said a few controversial things
homestarmyofone: yeah
thetourist5: it's like obama can't talk about his platform or account for things he's done and said because he has to spend all his time on damage control for all the bullshit the republicans stir up
thetourist5: anyway you should watch this
http://www.thedailyshow.com/video/index.jhtml?videoId=184086&title=sarah-palin-gender-cardthetourist5: it's really funny
thetourist5: and read all the stuff i posted on my facebook and then tell all your friends to vote obama or we're fucked fucked fucked
homestarmyofone: okay
thetourist5: also vote for tim allen btw
