On the US presidential election

Oh goodness. This might be out of place for me to say anything about the election, but i've watched too many speeches and read too many news article and sat through too many discussion to not have a formed opinion about this.

I can't believe that any educated person would vote for the McCain/Palin ticket, nevermind the low blows and the personal attacks. I can't believe that people are willing to overlook issues and policies and get caught up with Personality. Or even worse, public personality. Just because she's a hockey mom? Or that she's a woman? Or that he was PoW? What does that have to do with anything? Look at the issues, people! The person you are going to put in office will affect how the rest of the world is run.

• Those who claim about McCain having experience... Experience in what?! If by 'experience' you mean his years running in the state senate, go check his voting record. 'experience' means agreeing with Bush's policies the majority of times.
• Those who thinks McCain gets it. Seriously, do you?? This is the party that wants to give tax break to corporate people. The party that stands for accumulation of individual wealth. The party who wants to leave you, oh middle class, working people of America, on your own. Tough luck. What does he get?! How could you identify yourself with such values? You are NOT represented by the Repulican party! Wake up!!!
• Those who think that Obama's economical policy is crap... This country - YOUR country, i must add - is chin-deep in shit. And i don't know if you know this, BUT some people out there are actually still stinking rich, swimming in their corporate money while the nation's failing with its health care system, job openings, rotting infrastructure. Well, guess what. The government can't do shit about those issues because they ARE in a slump. States are in deficit, public education funding is being slashed throughout the country... Obama wants to spread the wealth, let corporates pay their taxes to the government and let the government do their job to improve America.
  
• What's wrong with inflating your tires as an energy policy?! It works, actually!! And don't tell me for a second that you don't know that no matter how much oil and gas you have under the soil of Alaska, it will eventually run out. Energy independence shouldn't mean independence from foreign oil, but independence from fossil fuel. THAT would be the ultimate independence, one that would actually last generations...
• The Rep VP wants to go to war. Isn't that why you wanted Bush out of the office in the first place, because you're sick and tired of the war sucking the life out of the federal budget? And now you want to put somebody in office who wants to go to war?? Seriously?

And don't even get me started on Palin's policy on abortion, aerial shooting for predator control, and creationism... I won't even talk about the evidence of her hypocrisy that has surfaced more and more lately. Nevermind that when asked about her so-claimed expertise on Russia, she offered, "They're our next door neighbors. And you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska." Yeah right. I see humans everyday. Doesn't make me a surgeon. Expert, huh? She's a dummy and I'm just worried that people are so blinded by her celebrity-like appearance that they're not really weighing in the real issues here...

Crossing my fingers and tossing my hope to the wind. So bummed that i'll miss the debates...

Time to go to bed... Obama/Biden '08.
