18 days and counting…

So recently there have been somethings that have been seriously irking me about the current election campaign.

#1: During the debate the other night if they mentioned “Joe the Plumber” one more time, I was going to freak out. Then the pathetic news outlets who proceeded to do nothing for the next day it seemed but cover the story of “Joe the Plumber.” They even went as far as to broadcast from outside his house? Why was it necessary for them to do that? No one cares about him? Then the extremely desperate for a story outlets start turning on the poor guy stating how he does not have a license, he has back taxes, hes a single father.Like really? Why not just leave it alone.

#2: This is also from the debate. When McCain stated, “…If you wanted to run against Bush you should have run four years ago…” HEY DOUCHE BAG, you are republican and so is Bush. It is not that Obama is claiming he is “running against Bush” he is running against what the both of you stand for and the hella mess that the republican party, Bush administration has created over the last eight years.

#3: When the candidates were campaigning in Ohio, all of those lovely redneck mid-west Jesus freaks came out of the wood works to support their favorite candidate. Now before I go any further let me just state that people out in the mid-west take religion to a whole new plateau, they are WEIRD. You do not believe me then go rent the movie Jesus Camp. So anyways, there were some real messed up comments made regarding Obama’s middle name. OK who cares what his middle name is. What if McCain’s middle name was Hitler? I mean, come on stop being so petty.

#4: Some idiot in the above linked video, says the Obama is related to a known terrorist. Yo, DUMBASS, they are not related. It is someone that he knew over ten years ago. I think it is time people let this William Ayers stuff go. If Obama was honestly a real terrorist, I do not think he would have made it as far as he has in this country. I think it is pretty sad that after all this time this country is still so racist and desperate that they would defame someone with such hurtful and bullshit comments. Not to mention that now since Obama has taken the lead, McCain has changed his tone a bit. When he was speaking with an older woman and she started to voice her opinion on Obama being “an Arab..that couldn’t be trusted” McCain stood up for his opponent. This is how it all went down:

“He is a decent person and a person that you do not have to be scared about as President of the United States. If I didn’t think I would be one heck of a better president I wouldn’t be running.

“Older Woman: “I have read about him. He’s an Arab”.

“No, ma’am. No, ma’am. He’s a decent, family man, citizen that I just happen to have  disagreements with on fundamental issues and that’s what this campaign is all about.”

Now, who ever you like, Obama or McCain, that is your business. Just remember that there are 18 days till November 4! So do your research and make a wise decision.
