| Oh No She Didn't Just Get Political |
| Thursday, August 28, 2008 |
WE INTERRUPT THIS BLOG TO BRING YOU NEWS ON THE 2008 ELECTIONS.
I am aware that it is not kosher to discuss politics and religion at work or a dinner party. But I googled it, and didn't see anyway where that it said it wasn't kosher to blog about it, so here I go!
I am 95% Republican. I don't believe I am 100% of anything other than Christian. So as a general rule, I vote along the Republican lines. That being said, I have swayed on an occasion. November 2008 will NOT be one of those occassions. I will certainly not vote Obama-Biden, for many reasons, some educated some just good ole gut feelings.
I tell you that to go into these 2 topics: Know. I Mean Really Know Who You Are Voting For and McCain VP Pick. Which do you want first? Well, too bad, we are going to go with McCain first.
My Take on McCain's VP Choices
Rumor has it John McCain will choose his VP running mate tomorrow. Who will it be? In the running are former candidate Mitt Romney (not a horrible choice, but not my first pick), Former Penn. Governer Tom Ridge (is he really going to help?), Minn. Governer Tim Pawlenty (who?!), and former Dem. Senator Joe Lieberman (my personal choice).
Why Lieberman (besides to prove to Damian I don' t have a problem with Jews I just choose not to go to their church)? Hello, it just makes sense! There are Democrats out there who are not ready to vote for Obama, (maybe because they think he's Muslim, maybe because he's black, maybe because he's not Hillary) but for whatever reason, they aren't willing to wear his shirt just yet. So let's through another Democrat (yeah, yeah, yeah, whatever, former) in the mix, and give them a ship to jump to! Republicans are happy, they have McCain, Democrats are happy, they have Lieberman (or had, again whatever) and Independants are happy, they've got Lieberman.
So Mr. McCain, if you happen to stumble upon my blog, (because I know you are a closet reader...I just know it.) and you want my personal opinion...McCain-Lieberman 08!
Know Who You Are Voting For!
Nothing, I mean almost nothing, okay some things, but not a lot of things piss me off as much as knowing that there are THOUSANDS of Americans (some educated and some not) about to make the most UNEDUCATED vote of their lives. I cannot tell you how many people in the black community I have heard say they are voting Obama simply because he is BLACK! Are you kidding me!? He didn't grow up poor, he doesn't understand your ghetto lifestyle anymore than John McCain. He isn't going to be able to empathize with you more than me just because he is darker than I am. What is that!?
I don't have a personal problem with people voting for Obama because they believe in what he stands for. On that, we just agree to disagree, and I continue to respect your opinion. But for those who would elect a man as first in command to one of the largest nations in the world simply because of the color of his skin. It's just sad.

And I am 95% democrat. This may be the year I sway, just not sure and really am not sure if I will even vote because in my opinion NEITHER of them deserve to run our nation. And for the record, yes I did vote in the primary.

I voted too, and no, I didn't vote McCain. He was my 2nd choice, but I also knew that he was probably the only candidate that could beat Clinton or Obama.

Man, politics! I've really been getting into this election, and even though I'm from Taxachusetts, I can happily say that I will be voting Republican. I agree with your view on Obama, Stephanie.
Also... John McCain was not my first choice. He was actually 3, but I am excited about the McCain/Palin ticket. I just hope the country comes to its senses and doesn't vote based on hype.
