swtnsparkling -> Your Thoughts ? (4/17/2008 9:45:00 AM)

I did NOT write this. It was sent to me email. No author name attached to it.
 

After long and serious thought, I have decided to vote for Senator John McCain for President.  I have always voted for the Person and have not voted for anyone because some political party was telling me who I should vote for.

We all know the choices by now and, that said, I do believe that the process of selecting a chief executive is deeply flawed. The words "money" and "special interests" come to mind, among many others.

Here's the way I see it:

Barack Obama, you are a fine public speaker. You are also an extremely liberal Senator from the State of Illinois, which has a long and rich history of political corruption of the first magnitude. You are indeed a child of that system.

You have finally insulted my intelligence far beyond my capacity to tolerate your insults. It has nothing at all to do with your skin color. As a matter of fact, it would be so COOL to finally have an African-American for President. What a great statement that would be to the entire world that we are indeed the greatest country on earth!

But, unfortunately, General Colin Powell is not running, and YOU are NOT the man for this job!

Barack baby, you want me to believe that you have never heard the sermons of your own pastor, the Right Reverend "God Damn America" Jeremiah Wright. It is a matter of record that this has been your church for over 20 years. It is a matter of record that you were married there by this very pastor, and that your children were baptized there.

The good Reverend saw fit to visit Khadafy in Libya with you and to give a lifetime achievement award to Louis Farrakhan, of all people.

We have all now seen excerpts of his sermons all over the airwaves by now. And you have publicly stated that this man IS your "spiritual mentor".

BUT, your pastor is NOT the reason I am NOT voting for you. His words were disturbing enough, but it is your own HUGE church congregation, seen jumping, hooting and howling to his words in the background that disturb me the most. And please don't tell me you attended church there and never once heard a "discouraging word" in the 20 years you attended there. Don't tell me, that in addition to the good reverend, that you are now not having anything to do with all those other people seen hooting and howling out in the audience in the background of his fiery tirades.

Even Oprah Winfrey got disgusted and walked out. I am no Oprah fan, but still she did the right thing.

Now YOU look me in the eye and ask me to believe that you never heard such language in all the years you attended there! This is like me telling you that I attended dozens of Klan rallys and never once heard the "N" word. Yep. And Bill Clinton "did not inhale".

Yes, Mr. Obama, we all have friends who have said stupid things that embarrassed us, but NOW you have asked me to believe something that is so incredibly stupid that you are telling me that I am just stupid enough to believe you. THAT is the main reason that I will never vote for you. I am deeply sorry, that in a county teeming with enormously talented African Americans who would make a good President,  that the political system has chosen YOU. You are a pathetic and plastic excuse for an American, who will not even salute the Flag during the Pledge of Allegiance or singing of the Star Spangled Banner. God forbid you ever get near the Oval Office.

Now, did I mention Bill Clinton ?

AH YES! This brings us to MRS. WILLIAM JEFFERSON CLINTON, who this candidate really is, in spite of all the other names she may care to call herself. This "feminist" piece of work of course would like to be referred to as MS. and we all know who wears the pant suit in that family.

MS. Clinton, (sugar), it is just as depressing to realize that there are dozens of women who would also make great Presidents. But, fortunately, the horrible state of the selection process has selected YOU.  Ms. Clinton, I'm sorry, but you could not tell the truth if we waterboarded your worthless ass !

Still you play the role of the "embarrassed but dignified noble wife". What utter malarky! I am not voting for you for a world of reasons, but the main one is the same as my not voting for Senator Obama. You persistently insult my intelligence. It COULD be conceivably possible that you did not know about Monica Lewinsky, extremely remote, but possible if we stretch our imaginations a bit. But you turn around and then ask me to believe that you also did not know about Paula Jones and the legion of other women who were chewed up and spit out by your lecherous excuse for a husband. Puleese turn off this broken record!!!

But let's set aside your hubby's flagrant pecadillos. The real reason I will never vote for you is that I don't think the country can survive EIGHT MORE YEARS of Whitewater, Travelgate, Filegate, Sandy Berger stuffing his socks with classified intelligence, Janet Reno's goon squad, and the myriad other corruptions that seem to stick to you like your ugly face. So our former President can't keep his dick in his pants. The REAL issue is that he committed perjury under oath when he lied about it and the pathetically-attempted cover-up that followed.

Like you, he is totally incapable of telling the truth. He could not do it if you tortured him, and in voting for you, we would get the BOTH of you, all over again. The same folks who could have taken out Osama Bin Laden over 3,000 dead Americans ago !

And please stop telling me that you have "8 years of experience" to lead us. You were the freakin' first lady already, not the Commander in Chief. Jeez ! The sum of your "experience" is that of the most worrisome and incompetent meddling in the history of the White House. You even cursed your pitiful staff and the Secret Service agents who were and still are unfortunately charged with risking their lives to protect your worthless, thieving hide, and all at the expense of other people who have to work for a living.

Your single pathetic platform is to finance the illegal drugs, alcoholism and bad habits of the very lowest and most irresponsible freeloaders in America and to then "garnish the wages" (your own words) of every law-abiding and hard-working American to pay for it. This disaster you refer to as "Universal Health Care". Where have you been the last 30 years?  Did you not see that socialism is a failure wherever it has been tried?  Did you not notice that the Soviet Union has collapsed since it gave no reward to those who worked the hardest for the fruits of their own labors to pay for those who will not??

It is interesting to see all the dead bodies that you and your hubby have left in your wake. Suicides, mysterious deaths, cover-ups that make Richard Nixon look like a rank amateur. The utter contempt and unbelievable arrogance of some of your strongest supporters, most notably the recently resigned and disgraced Governor Eliot Spitzer, the epitome of hypocritical and malevolent arrogance gone wild, one of your most ardent, wealthy and powerful political supporters. A man the news media refuses to admit IS a "super delegate" in your own political machine, a fine example of your own "adopted" state of New York. No wonder you moved there to run for Senator! The environment there is perfect for the likes of you!

Yes, I would vote for a woman, but I will NOT vote for YOU!

Which leaves us with Senator John McCain.

John, you are a flawed man. You are a bit old, a bit looney, and you have a notoriously bad temper. This perfectly qualifies you, in my humble opinion, to lead us for the next eight years. I WANT your trembling hand on the nuclear button.

Think about it.

We have Kim Jong IL, Chavez and Ahmadenijad all running around like lunatics, threatening America and threatening to plunge the world into nuclear Armageddon. We have Putin and the Chinese blustering and rattling their sabers at us. I want John McCain in the Oval Office and I want him to be really pissed off at all these other nut jobs around the planet.

John, once you are elected, I want you to go into the Oval Office and throw one of your perfect FITS. Jump up and down and throw something through a plate glass window. Rip the drapes down and foam at the mouth a bit. And I want the whole thing on camera so that Ahmadinejad can see it. I want ALL of these "world leaders" to lay awake at night and to break out in a cold sweat every time they think of messing with the United States of America.

I want the nuclear button sitting right next to the alarm clock on your night stand. I want pictures of this to be sent to Iran, Russia, China, Venezuela, Cuba, Libya, Syria, Pakistan, and those other assholes in the sheets, the Saudis.

On the domestic front, poor John did try and reach across the aisle to the opposition in a desperate effort to compromise and to get the Congress to do something. You may not agree with his efforts, but at least he TRIED. For all his efforts, all he got handed to him was his head in a basket. The liberals are pissed at him and the conservatives are pissed at him. Just my kinda guy.

I predict that John will select Senator Joe Lieberman as his running mate. Good choice. I want a JEW whose memory of the Holocaust is still fresh in his mind and who is royally pissed off at all of these towel-headed morons in the Middle East to be the next in line if something should happen to John. Shalom, Vice President Joe. One heartbeat from the Oval Office.

Finally. John McCain knows on a most personal level what it is to suffer horrible torture for years and to see others die, right in front of you, for their love of America.  When you ask him about it, he will tell you that what he did was "nothing special". Even more incredibly, he states that ANY American who truly loves his country would do exactly the same as he did in that situation. You and I will have a hard time believing that, but the real point is that John McCain believes that about the "average American", and that, dear friends and neighbors, is why I will cast my one poor ballot on election day for John McCain -- warts and all.

God Bless America!

So it's a hundred years of war then.Go for it.

I am not saying I disagree with anything in that text, but it is a damn shame that this is all the choice we get.

kittinSol -> RE: Your Thoughts ? (4/17/2008 11:22:07 AM)

I'm glad you're able to make a voting decision... because many people don't have that possibility. I totally would not vote like you, but I'm an alien anyway.

I'll just have to suffer the consequences of whoever the lovely American electorate chooses to put in Dubbya's place. Needless to say, I hope it's not McCain, or Clinton :-D .




cjan -> RE: Your Thoughts ? (4/17/2008 11:25:30 AM)

I'm considering writing in Kinky Friedman. Time for a change ? Fuckin' A !




subfever -> RE: Your Thoughts ? (4/17/2008 11:42:18 AM)

My thoughts? Write in Ron Paul. 




swtnsparkling -> RE: Your Thoughts ? (4/17/2008 11:45:57 AM)

Again for all   Author Unknown!! 
I did NOT write it.
You have no idea who I'll vote for or if I'll even vote.
I was curious as to others thoughts that's all or is that to simple?




kittinSol -> RE: Your Thoughts ? (4/17/2008 11:48:17 AM)

Wow... as you posted the letter without any personal comment, it follows that you seemed to endorse its content.

Forgive us for misunderstanding your intentions (which were what, in that case?) - however, there's no need to get quite that irrate, you know.




xxblushesxx -> RE: Your Thoughts ? (4/17/2008 11:50:23 AM)

I agree with the author. I think it's well-written and well thought out rather or not you agree with the author.
While I am a conservative, I am not against voting for a Democrat at all; nor am I opposed to voting for a black president or a female president, (why oh why couldn't Condi have run?)
But I have too many issues with the choices in the Democratic party this time, and I'm not willing to chance it.

Yes, but you did not comment with regards to the content! To me, it looked as though you were agreeing with it. Look... it doesn't matter, in the end. I'm curious now, though: what do you think about the text you posted?




DesFIP -> RE: Your Thoughts ? (4/17/2008 12:07:41 PM)

Sparkling, we know you didn't write it. But you also don't disagree with it. You must have thought enough about it to agree with it or otherwise you would have just deleted it. Why go to the effort to copy and paste something you believe is malarkey?

That's why people are looking askance, because you're asking for everyone else's opinion but not posting yours.

FR  oh for christs sake.

I've seen over n over n over again somebody post something curious as to what others think of it and never comment themselves whether they agree or disagree.
Why does this have to become so  nitpicky?

When I first posted it I had no thoughts on the matter at all except I  thought it would be entertaning to see what others thought.

psst(Ya know some of you get so easily riled up)

but.. since you ask

what do I think?  some one else already said what I would have

The person that wrote this is a complete idiot. We should protect ourselves by all responsible means possible...But it is a two way street and "we" are equally as guilty in some respects when it comes to "messing" with others.

Anyone who agrees with these musings probably is incapable of seeing the big picture.


Edited to add....The longer this thing goes on the more unlikable they all have become. I'm tired of the whole thing.

I still like Obama over the other two...But he is wearing on me.




domiguy -> RE: Your Thoughts ? (4/17/2008 1:24:52 PM)

In fact, anyone who read this shit and then chose to put it out here is lacking as well.

It's a disgusting read. But typical of the shit that is going on now a days...




sirsholly -> RE: Your Thoughts ? (4/17/2008 1:35:33 PM)

my opinion is it was a well written statement from the authors point of view.
However, just because you disagree is no reason to slam the op for posting it.

"WELL WRITTEN?" Did you read it? Remind me never to invite you, blushes or the op over to my house to meet the peeps I hang with...I would hate to think what type of "well written" expletives that the three of you might utter to describe them.

This author's main criticism of Obama lies in the fact that Rev Wright used some extremely questionable language in making the point of his sermons.

So what does this "well written" author use to convey his points?

How can you criticize one person for something and then turn around and be guilty of exactly the same type of shit...If not worse?

To those of you who feel that this is a "well written" editorial....Maybe it is high time you really take a long look in the mirror and search out what part of you there is that allows you to find shit like this acceptable.

Trust me, what you find is going to be really ugly.




sirsholly -> RE: Your Thoughts ? (4/17/2008 2:03:04 PM)

Domiguy...when i said well written i was not talking about the authors opinion. Rather, spelling, grammer, etc.




domiguy -> RE: Your Thoughts ? (4/17/2008 3:07:06 PM)

Yeah, that is what people usually mean when they say that kind of shit....

Domiguy: Hey sirsholly, did you read the new book by "Ol' Whatshisfuck?"

sirsholly: Yes I did. It was very well written.

Domiguy: So you must have really enjoyed it.

sirsholly: Fuck no. It was a piece of shit but the punctuation and the spelling were impeccable.



There ya go....I just wanted to clear this matter up so we were all on the same page.


I'm sure the op and blushes will give an identically weak explanation. Feel better?

Why didn't you mention about his grand spelling and grammar in this post? so if he used proper punctuation and spelling and said that white people were the devil....Would it still be well written?
