I promised myself I wasn't going to watch the debate. I really knew better. It was only going to irritate me. But I turned on the TV, planning on watching anything else, and there it was. And like a fool, I watched. Next time I'm just going to pay someone to give me a swift kick in the head instead. By the time consciousness returns the ugliness should all be over. The bad news for you is that I'm now going to rant a bit.
Let me be clear about one thing first. I am neither Democrat or Republican and see no practical difference between them. My vote will not be cast for either Obama or McCain as I don't agree with either one on anything. My preferred vote is virtually always "None of the above" except of course that isn't a choice. So I'll do the next best thing and vote third, fourth or eighteenth party instead. If you can explain to me a rational reason to vote for one of those big parties that have done such a brilliant job of running the country into the ground, I'd be greatly amused to read them.
Now on to the debate bit that has me so irritated. First there was the $700 billion voted and approved by the feds to buy up bad debt. That's offensive enough. And now McCain, who could actually be President soon, proposed buying up all the bad mortgages in the country.
Isn't he the Republican? Does he realize he sounds like a goddam communist? If he's tossing out nutbag comments like this, what the hell can we expect if the actual liberal gets elected?
If this is the direction we're going in let's not stop at mortgages. How about refunds for all losing scratch tickets? Let's give Ford and GM a few hundred billion each if they promise to continue building shitty gas guzzling cars. Let's give T. Boone Pickens billions so he can carpet the country in windmills and give millions of Americans jobs standing next to them in green pajamas waving signs that say "I care about the environment." Hell, let's just buy fucking Iraq and get it over with. Maybe we can start giving a few thousand dollars to every person everywhere who has had their feelings hurt by someone's insensitive comments.
Any other ideas? I'll be in the corner repeatedly slamming my head into the wall until the resulting brain damage hurts more than this idiocy.
