Presidential Election 2008 Review

October 9, 2008: a dirty race- fear mongering indicates SORE loser.  

 mccain deeply failed at this past tuesday's debate with barack obama. as usual - he threw out jokes and cheap remarks that were hardly even funny or appropriate. he even seemed to insult the moderator tom brokaw. how does someone fall so far below grace and not realize it? i realize that he is perhaps an idiot and a moron but can anyone really be that oblivious or far away from themselves and their actions?

when i watch mccain, whether it be debate or town rally - i am continually reminded of some weird freak side show. his whole campaign is nothing more than a fluke and a sham, full of lies, hypocrisy and contradiction.

critics said that mccain would need to make some 'game-changing' moves in this recent debate in order to take over the lead in the race. but if there was any 'game-changing', it wasn't in front of the cameras rolling, no doubt. instead what i watched was a rather pathetic cringe-worthy performance of a [sorry to sound harsh] sinister creepy little man.

he did not convince me that he was solid in anything he was saying, or upfront and honest/truthful. not only that but the more he spoke, the more he contradicted hard to argue facts of his past and things he had previously voted on. what he was for in the past, apparently is not what he stands for today. i find it very hard to believe someone so obviously stubborn minded would change or flip flop that drastically and i only become further convinced he will say whatever it takes to win. it does not bother him if any form of deception is used to get what he wants. but it bothers me and most people with an intelligent logical mind.

There is no doubt in my mind he completely lost to obama and there wasn't even any challenge b/t the two. that is HOW weak and pathetic mccain's performance was. he completely sucked. how could anyone buy into this man's answers or principles at all??

we continue to marvel at how any person could buy into what he is selling or not see right thru who he really is. i just have a hard time understanding how anyone in their right mind could WANT to support someone like him or palin. there are so many things wrong with their plan, i don't even know where to begin. it's vague, wishy washy, not logical or practical and definitely not for the average middle class citizen in our country. it only caters to people like them, affluent people, celebrities, and business people who have more money than they know what to do with.

here are the top mistakes mccain made.

MORE reasons why i think mccain is NOT the one for president.

1- referring to Obama as "That ONE" was not only disrespectful but shocking. he spoke to him with hostility and disdain, a kind of contempt that was very transparent and less than professional. his condescending tone made me squirm in my seat. it was indeed an uncomfortable moment to watch on screen. i personally believe that people who are great debaters treat others with dignity and respect no matter how much one is viewed as the enemy. acting like a 'loser' never makes anyone a 'winner.'


2- mccain was so wishy washy and uncooperative when asked to prioritize what needs to be accomplished in the US for the best interest of country/people. that says a lot to me. that he has no idea what he is doing - what a fucking airhead/ the more i watch, the more i am convinced, there isnt much inside that brain. he then tried to convince the audience that it was unnecessary to tackle things in any order or prioritize as it could all be done at once. he did NOT convince me in the least.

he only convinced me that he truly is "out there", does not know what he is doing and is not skilled to be the leader of any thing period. his way of problem-solving and goal making sounds disorganized, chaotic and unfocused if you ask me. and completely UNdoable. he is not what our country needs. he will put the nail in the coffin if elected to head our country. it is a frightening thought.    


3- when asked by brokaw if healthcare was a: privilege, responsibility, OR right. obama chose it was a RIGHT which is the way i think and the way i think most people in this country think it should be, but it is not. while mccain chose RESPONSIBILITY- i don't think so. then he went further on to say that it was important for small businesses to have good healthcare available. and i was thinking, mccain ONLY cares about businesses, he doesnt care about the families, children, and the lower and middle class people who either cannot afford healthcare or are unable to attain affordable insurance. more proof he doesn't care for the average person in this world.

4- and last, that wise zen-like question given to both candidates to close the debate. mccain's answer said it all and told me why it would be a drastic mistake to vote for the likes of him. i felt like if other people didn't see why it would be such a horrible mistake to choose him OR didn't wake up from his vague uncertain and obviously unconfident statement, then they must not be very bright in the head. he is so NOT qualified to be president, it is NOT even funny.

no offense but i don't want a man who says to the world he has no absolutely no clue about the future. in all honesty, it doesn't sound like he is too interested in learning or investing himself to make the future of the US great.

i felt it very telling when he was asked the following question:

what is something that you don't know or lack skill in, but look forward to learning once elected president of the united states??

mccain simply stated:  "I don't know what's gonna happen"

that answer sums up all the reasons NOT to vote for him!   

***afternotes, things i found tacky or stood out to me:

1- i got tired of hearing mccain saying 'my friends' cos everytime he said it i felt it strangely radiated spewing animosity NOT anything that would feel even remotely "friendly" more like what you say to an enemy!

chris matthews on hardball made mention of this and made a sarcastic joke that had me laughing.

2- mccain patting the military [navy] man to show everyone how much he supports our troops and veterans. it was completely meant to show off for the tv cameras rolling, to make people think what a TRUE hero and great man mccain truly is. it was so unnatural and so obvious that this was only played up for the cameras because the whole world was watching.

3- keith olbermann called it the schizophrenic campaign which made me laugh and pointed out mccain's interesting freudian slip during one part of the debate where he inadvertently referred to the citizens as 'prisoners' interesting slip.

3- cindy mccain is another one i can do with out and makes me sick. her pretentious face and million dollar clothes, probably plastic surgery face/body. with carbon copy daughter. her outspoken mention in a mccain/palin rally in the midwest of how Obama did not support the troops and her son who was going to the middle east and how he had voted against a bill so he was anti-our troops, not patriotic or american as they are. funny how i later saw reports on every famous political host show, proving the way in which john mccain had voted against the VERY same bill and how the reason why obama voted against funding of troops had to do with wanting the men to be sent home, if the funding passed, it meant there would be NO time table as to when they'd be sent home from the war. WHEREAS mccain himself voted AGAINST funding in the same bill but for horrible reasons, he voted against it because he wanted NO TIME TABLE as to when the troops would be sent home. this shows you who really cares about our precious military men and womens' lives. mccain certainly doesnt mind if our troops spend the rest of their lives in war, til death and never seeing their family again. he really isn't much of a humanitarian and lacks depth or feeling for anyone other than himself and his objectives - thats truly sad. and despicable.

4- and lets not forget mccain and palin the attack dog's new tactics to play dirty in all of their rallies by continually suggesting obama is a terrorist and using fear-mongering to get the crowd excited. one crowd member at palin's clearwater rally even screamed, kill him. this was played on msnbc several times this wk by various political journalists. it was eerie and quite disturbing to me. that reaction and their new tactic to make everyone believe obama is really a terrorist is beyond fucking disgusting. most people i know are sick of politicians who use dirty name calling in order to win. IF mccain thinks he is going to win on this tactic alone, he has got to be fucking kidding himself. has he taken a look at any of the recent polls where obama is approx 11 points AHEAD of mccain. there is nothing i HATE more than a person who is clearly a SORE LOSER!

Being an early voter feels GREAT!! Thursday, October 23, 2008

We filled out our ballot [absentee] tuesday nite and am proud to say voted early yesterday!!!   I have to say that IF Jimmy hadn't researched all the ones running locally in FL so i knew who was the best to choose from each category, AND if he had not researched proposed bills or whatever to vote on, I'd have been overwhelmed because some of it is worded in a way that is confusing, overwhelming, and I am not that UP on what each amendment bill proposal was about. that is over my head.

Even Jimmy who knows a lot about that stuff, had to find a website online that explained what each bill was in depth before choosing the best answer. It took him HOURS to research everything and fill out the sample ballot. 

We have the same overall beliefs on controversial issues and in life, so I knew I could just put whatever he chose for himself .   I mean, the main answer that counts MOST is who you choose as president and vice president and truthfully that is ALL I care about.  

BUT I still did not want to be 'ignorant' OR put any wrong answers or leave blanks and run risk of having my ballot not counted. 

Jimmy explained to me in simple terms what each bill literally meant and why he supported or did not support it. I agreed with every answer he gave for the proposed amendment bills.    

We are both very excited over this election but also feel great caution and trepidation while simulatneously feeling  terrified what the world will come to IF mccain/palin are chosen [BAD CHOICE] as we feel the country will crumble, freedom will not reign in this country of supposed free choice AND we will be doomed.    

We think Obama is doing extremely well and while everyone speaks highly of his chances of winning and predicts his success,  we still have the same fear that what happened in the past  TWO elections will repeat itself. I believe both of those were fixed elections and I most certainly did NOT vote for that IDIOT.

Corruption is all around in politics and ive already said IF mccain gets in, that means this race was completely bogus and most definitely FIXED. We hope for the best though. it took me five mins to copy jimmy's sample ballot last nite and it felt GREAT to get it completed knowing my vote counts for something and wanting to get it in right away since my choice is solid and my mind has been made up since the start.  

Jimmy dropped it off by hand wednesday in downtown tampa  [we didn't want to take a chance by mailing. u never know if it anyone is dirty. the one head of ballots in FL is on the ballot and his name is on the voter registration. he is affiliated with dirtiness and corruption. we do not trust him.]  

Btw, I signed this petition, below, i belong to this petition site which has a lot of org., grassroots organizations, humanitarian organizations and rights for all, plus lots of stuff on politics and the lies of mccain/palin etc.  

This is what i wrote in reply to petition to make people aware,

I voted for Barack Obama for president today! Mccain + Palin are a complete joke- palin is dumber than a donkey, ignorant, and small-minded. Mccain and Palin only care about making the rich richer and could care less about the average American. They are not Pro-American as they have preached to their audiences and are hypocrites, liars, and full of it.

Being American means diversity, unity [whether rich or poor], and freedom. Any intelligent person can see right thru the BS, and realize that these two are NOT the way to go. If chosen to run the country, prepare for things to only get worse because we will be doomed.

Palin is a sad role model for all women. As a woman, I definitely do NOT want the likes of her representing us women in the world.
