why i don't feel inclined to vote.
Okay I know every election you aren't supposed to be "that guy" that refuses to vote, but I am SICK of this bull****. I'm 19, and this is finally my first time to vote (been into politics since clinton vs dole) and I could really care less who wins now. Why?
1.of course the media is having their bias frenzy, playing he said/she said
(I stick to bbc news, reuters, etc)
2.i go to ga state, and I am TIRED of hearing "my brotha O'Bama is duh troof." like it or not, there are WAY too many 'black' ppl voting for him just because he is 'black' or 'half black' or 'colored'...what ever floats your boat.
(i'm jamaican, for the record).
not to mention the t shirts for sale down by 5 points outside of marta. Its like jesse jackson running for prez all over again. To make it worse the cRap stations clearly show bias towards the guy (i think he should pick Lil Wanye for his VP), and a couple weeks ago they were promoting at some club "free all night for registered voters." see where i'm going with this?
3.now, i'm more of a republican than anything, but i like to see both sides of the issue. but obviously a lot of people don't want another 4 years of "facism, crimes against humanity," and whatever other tree hugging ignorance some left wingers wanna throw around. I can totally understand a desire for change, clinton got his 8, bush got his 8, why not let a dem try and run it. but if i hear another "blame it on bush/republicans" i'm gonna blow my head off. clinton was OVER RATED. he was in the right place at the right time. the dot com boom pretty much MADE his presidency, since the economy looked great at the time. I would've LOVED to see gore or kerry in office after the worst terrorist attack on US soil, the worst natural disaster in US history, and now, the worst economic recession period since the great depression. my point: its not so much the guy in office but what's happening around him. if you think about it, these hot "issues" wouldnt be issues at all if muhfukkers could control their firearms, stop wanting to have kids at 15, and learned how to STOP SPENDING MORE THAN THEY MAKE.
obviously, the president will make good and bad decisions, but so will the masses that put them in office. and i feel that right now that these combinations of bad decisions on behalf of BOTH parties AND our great citizens have brought us to where we stand today: the beginning of end of the world.
honestly, i don't think there is a DAMN thing anyone in office can do to fix the damage that has been done. our dollar and our credit isn't worth shyt to the rest of the world and all the foreign countries are making us look silly. my dad says i'm going to regret not "letting my voice be heard," but honestly, there are more than enough blind, ignorant voices that could do the country a favor by NOT voting this election
and when you see this at your local newsstand:
why even bother anymore? think i'll find a 6 figure job in the carribbean and watch the world burn...
