politics

this blog is vague in regards to my personal life. that won't change. what most people don't know is a set of my friends are well into their 60's. a pack of women who say what they will fearing no repercussion. and i'm sure i enjoy their company more then they do mine. the problem? they're 100% behind hillary clinton. the hillary or mccain in '08 type. but i still love them.

i wonder: if hillary didn't want to 'obliterate' nations. if her name weren't clinton. if she wasn't so deceptive. if she wasn't an outright liar. if she hadn't moved to my state to get attention as a senator from ny. if her husband wasn't pres for 8 years leading our country into monarchy mode. if they weren't corrupt. if every state she lost she didn't utter the words: "that state doesn't matter." if she didn't feel the whitehouse was owed to her. if her campaign wasn't bancrupt and in chaos. taking lobbiest money and then threatening everyone with it. asking super d's to keep their vote private. if she hadn't turned her tenacity into lunacy.

a vote for mccain is a vote for: bush's 3rd term. 100 years in iraq. possibly attacking other countries such as bomb, bomb, bomb iran, syria, north korea, etc. our soldiers being torn to pieces, mentally, losing limbs, and dying for an unethical, needless war that should have never been started. 2 new conservative supreme court judges to take us back to the 1950's. keeping scientific research stagnant. corporations over people. bowing to the lobbiests. taking an exorbenant amount of cash from big oil, pharmaceuticals, etc. moving backwards on the world stage. merging church and state. and i hate to say it but the age.

the world sees us as a young, modern, vivacious, innovative country. how the world views us effects what occurs within our borders. i understand that my life doesn't align with most americans. i don't have a mortgage or kids. i don't drive. and food in nyc is cheap and good. maybe we share a common work ethic. if more americans travelled abroad they'd get a better understanding of our own country and what gives it this coveted greatness. perhaps.
