Time to get Political

Got my ballot today and a few thoughts rushed to my head. Why are we spending so much time focusing on a presidential race like it is somehow any different then any race we have ever had in the past? What's so special about these guys. Honestly just think about it for a minute. He's Black and I'm black so that's suppose to make him a better choice for me? Or This guy is old and I'm old so that means he will somehow relate with me? Hey she's a woman and I to have a vagina therefore she has to be my choice for a VP? I just don't get it. When you all receive your ballots you may be pleasantly surprised to see alot of those same thoughts are spread through all the little parties as well.

American Independent Party
Alan Keys
Wiley S Drake SR vp

Peace and Freedom party
Ralph Nader (yes his ass is running again... are you really suprised?)
Matt Gonzalez vp (hey he'd be the first LATINO in office)

Liberitarian
Bob Barr
Wayne Root vp

Green Party
Cynthia McKinney (that's right you can still have a FEMALE PREZ)
Rosa Clemente vp(... and lets not forget her handy LATINA running mate)

Look people you don't have to stick with the status quo. I am so sick of this two party system we are forever stuck in. Its just straight bullshit that in a great country like the USA we find a way to limit our options on who will lead us in the future. I'm already sick of all this OBAMA v MCCAIN shit. Its old. Both are just your average POLITICIANS. McCain is an ex vet who will always look out for vets. What about us NON Vets what about us thinkers who thought better then to join the armed forces. He's an old timer and he I'm sure sees us as cowards and pussies. Frankly I hate having grown men treat me like I'm a child in order to MOLD me into what ever mindless shell they need to fight THEIR wars. Heaven forbid I choose a different path then that.
Oh and dont get me started on the "ROCK STAR" Barack Husein Obama. This guy is so much talk its amazing no one is seeing through any of it. I want change as much as the next guy, but what has this man done which has you so convinced he can make all these changes he's promised. Now i never expected him to pick Hillary as a running mate; anyone who thought that was about to happen after the war they had for all those months must haved been smoking some good shit i tell ya. But I must say a man who speaks so much for change choosing a no question about it WASHINGTON INSIDER like Joe Biden doesn't make a lot of sense. Biden is clearly what is called a CAREER congressman. He's been on capital hill so long if you cut him in half you would see RINGS like a Redwood tree, but each ring doesn't symbolize a year no it symbolizes a dirty deed. No offense but to stay in Washington as long as that man has You've had to have been party to plenty of shady shit. Well anyway why keep someone like that on a ticket of change. I mean if BIDEN was to be an instrument of change don't you think he would have CHANGED a ton of shitty policy over the course of 35 years. Are you freakin kidding me.
So yes I may be a little jaded with the system, but frankly i have been ever since I've learned those most precious words in our outdated broke ass voting system: ELECTORAL COLLEGE.
I mean if there was ever something that needed to be done away with. Fuck all the ignorant sports talk about the BCS and how it fucks things up or the Strength of Schedule rating that helps decides bubble teams fates in College Basketball. Come on. I live in CALIFORNIA therefore 9 times out of 10 a democrat will win my state no matter how I feel about them. No matter how many votes are cast by all the Californians combined it only breaks down into 55 votes/points/pollsters/ whatever the fuck its stupid. Now back in the day it might have made sense hand counting each vote sooo hard. Guess what i work in a registar's office. CPUs do the counting. In moments an entire county can be accounted for with little margin of error. Now with this kind of logic it wouldn't take long for each vote to count for each state. My word within hours by 1 or 2 am an entire election can be tabulated counting every single vote. Now explain to me why the electoral college needs to make the final decision? I just dont get it. Politics are a funny funny business. Thank god I've never wanted to be a leader. I'm happy to sit back bitch about it for a few hours and go on about my day.
GO AMERICA

Word! C'mon. If the Black Eyed Peas say Obama is our choice, then he is our effin choice. You can always count on a former heroin addict for 2 things, well 3, but that third thing you may catch something that the wifeys wouldnt like. First thing: Must love their lovely lady lumps, Second thing: Who to trust to make life changing decisions. That's right. Heroin says vote for Obama. I'm voting for Obama. Wait, because I am a quarter mexican, do I have to vote for Nader & Gonzalez? DAMNIT!

Second of all - i cant read this at work anymore. I know see multi-colored lines around the office and on my work.
