Why?
Why isn't anyone being reminded that John McCain was one of The Keating Five? Everyone is so quick to cite the man as someone of substance and ethical fortitude, lauding him as a "war hero," but no one seems to remember that he's indirectly responsible for thousands of people losing their retirement savings, throwing them into abject poverty at an age when they should be allowed to rest and be free of worry. The man is a bastard, just like every other fucking Republican.
I didn't have anything against Obama until he said he planned on expanding the Faith Based Initiative that shithead in the White House conjured up from Hell. With him doing this, I'm hard-pressed to even vote at all, but I will vote. I've voted ever since I turned 18 and I'm 40 now. I vote against people when I go to the polls because there's never really anyone to vote for. The only time I ever voted for anyone was when I voted for Bill Clinton both times. I loved him. And I love his wife. Sure, they're crooks, just like every other politician. But at least these crooks actually did some good.
I don't trust the Republican Party. They have been in the back pocket of the Religious Right for quite a long time. Dubya has been their best puppet. Who's to say McCain won't carry on the torch? Not to mention he plans on expanding our hawk status in the world, making certain more of our young men and women get killed while they commit state-sanctioned atrocities on innocent people in their own countries. And he's stolen from old folks. That's pretty fucking low, if you ask me.
I don't see a choice. My only hope is that Obama and Hillary bury the hatchet and she becomes his running mate. That way he'll have someone to talk some sense into his rookie ass and I won't have to worry so much that I or mine won't get the help we might need just because we're Witches in a Fundamentalist world. ::heavy sigh:: It's dilemmas like this that make me ache for 2012 to get here quickly.
