When I tell people I don’t vote, I am generally ridiculed, and told how un-American I am. Of course my first thought is “American”/ When did America become a country? But then I am told how I can’t bitch and have no right to complain…blah blah blah blah blah….. I say this - You Hypocrite, just as it is my right as a US citizen to vote, it is also quite equally my right not to vote. Sometimes not voting is much more powerful of a statement then voting… In fact I would like to spread my Discontent and ask all those that read this to not Vote - and convince all those you know not too vote. And this is why?
First Some Facts:

Presidential Election 2004:

1. Exit polls predicted John Kerry winning the popular vote by 5 million
2. Official results gave George W. Bush the win with a popular margin of 3 million
There was an 8 million vote (6.5%) discrepancy between the official results and the exit poll predictions.

Take note — Historically exit Polls have maintained an accuracy level of .03 % - .07 %

Clearly 6.5% is alarmingly out of whack.

But wait there was a brilliant explanation for these discrepancies - Quoted from the Edison/Mitofsky firm (organization in charge of running the exit polls)
“Kerry voters were more likely to participate in the exit polls than Bush voters.’ In fact, data included within the report suggest that the opposite might be true.” Of course they have absolutely no proof to support there ridiculous claim and as best I can tell just made it up.

The Government has not only grossly frauded our great country of its most proud history, but what’s worse is that we the silent are Harboring this Worlds greatest Terrorist.

There is nothing that would make me happier than for someone to prove, or otherwise convince me that these facts are explainable, and that in fact the election was fair. So I challenge anyone that wishes to blast me as someone who does not love my country, to first add there name to the blank, and ask if you live up those words.

“I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic;

Milosevic’s death transported him to his final destination: Hell. But, he continues to haunt us from the dead. His body was laid for public viewing in the Museum of 25th Maj, right next to Tito’s grave. Ok, how disgusting and idiotic do you have to be to place the body of a mass murderer who caused 4 wars and flushed the country down the toilet next to Tito, a person who, albeit contraveresial, build up a beautiful and working country which held together in peace and harmony for over 40 years. Over 100 representatives and foreign heads of state came to Tito’s funeral in 1980, including President Carter’s mother, and Milosevic’s funeral will not be attended even by Serbian heads of state who despised him as much as the Bosnians did. So, to those nationalist idiots who put his coffin next to Tito’s grave: grow up! Nationalism needs to be eradicated….Ah, I feel better.

Our politicians, on both sides of the aisle, are truly useless. One issue both Republicans and Democrats agree on and stand up to BUsh on turns out not to be an issue at all! I am talking about the port deal uproar.

As most of you know (and those who have not followed this issue, you are much better off for it) the whole political uproar erupted when the Bush administration disclosed they sold some 6 ports to a Dubai company owned by the United Arab Emirates. Read the rest of this entry »

Ok, here it is: believe it or not, South Dakota has banned all abortions and made it a felony for doctors to carry them out EVEN IN THE CASE OF RAPE OR INCEST. The only exception is when a life of a woman is threatened. This obviously contradicts the federal law, codified with the precedent Roe Vs. Wade and then reaffirmed in the 1996 Supreme Court decision Casey Vs. Planned Parenthood. So, why is the conservative right doing this? Well, of course they want to force the Supreme Court to deal with this issue and now that they have a favorable balance on the court, they expect them to oveturn the Roe Wade.

Well, he has lied about WMD, he has taken a nation into a war, he has traded with Iran during our embargo against them, he has been in charge of a corporation that has embazzled millions of dollars from Americans (Enron), he has outed an undercover CIA agent to spite her husband, and now: he has shot a man! He sprayed a man with shotgun pellets!
This is what happens when you give Cheney a gun!

Just watching and reading about Bush’s campaign trying to promote eavesdropping on American public.

This is a quote from the man himself:

“I wake up every morning thinking about a future attack, and therefore, a lot of my thinking, and a lot of the decisions I make are based upon the attack that hurt us.”
First question: He thinks?
Second: What a hell is that mean?
Personally I have nothing against eavesdropping. Simply because I have nothing to hide and I don’t plan to blow up anything, but from moral standpoint any sane human being would reject the idea. If some NSA agent wants to listen dirty conversations between my wife and me, let him. Maybe he’ll learn something.

Republican legislator Clel Baudler from Des Moines (Iowa) said and I quote:
“We could simplify law enforcement’s job if we didn’t have rock concerts. We could simplify their job a lot quicker if we just didn’t have football games there where we arrest hundreds of drunks over the weekend.”

I think that’s not a bad idea. Even better. We could simply invoke marshal law again and there wouldn’t be anyone to arrest after lets say 7PM (time for cartoons yeey)

Or, even better. We could simplify law enforcement job if there were no people at all in Iowa.

Ok, I am sorry that my first post has to be political, but the current political state of affairs in this nation really riles me up. I think that every time I see or hear Bush speak, I get another ulcer on my stomach and my blood pressure goes through the roof.

This morning I read that the president’s new Budget calls for numerous cuts in order to control the spending. What kind of cuts? Read the rest of this entry »
