Politics

Today's topic is politics.
Before we elect our new president, let's reflect upon the Bush years.
Here we go (Mario's voice in Mario 64). This is what happened: gas prices rose by $3 a gallon, we're in wars in Iraq and Afghanistan spending billions of dollars, the mishandling of Katrina, our economy is in ruins and the biggest thing is 9/11 happened under his watch. Our troops are fighting for what, oil? Terrorists? (Watch "Power of Nightmares" and then you'll understand where I am coming from). My favorite quote after gas prices went above $2/gal "We are addicted to oil". Really, I never noticed. Nice going, stating the freakin obvious. What are you (Bush) going to do about it? I don't know, how about nothing. After he stated that fact ,the price of gas is about doubled. He, also, suspended building new solar panels. The housing market is a mess, medicare and social security is getting worse.

What would have happened if our election was based on the popular vote instead of the electoral college? What if? Anyways, what a crappy eight years it has been.

Democratic National convention just ended and the RNC is about to begin.
By now, aren't you sick of the damn commercials playing over and over again. It's only get worse until that first Tuesday in November. On every channel, during your favorite show, you see how either candidate is the better choice than the other. You already know what they are going to say. A bunch of B.S. The debates and the conventions on multiple channels, depriving me of watching my favorite shows or missing the late local news. All the promises about lower taxes, better health care, lower gas prices and a better economy. Haven't we heard this before? I mean, come on, you hear about change all the time, but it does it happen? Most of the time, no.
This time, I don't want that to be the case. I WANT CHANGE!! I WANT THE TRUTH!!! At what price though? Everything has a price, even freedom. It's politics, it's not like a box of chocolates. You exactly know what you are going to get. Lies, manipulation, and higher taxes.

In the end, I DON'T CARE WHO WINS!!!! All I want is change from whatever Bush did. I just want things to get better, I know it might take sometime but I am willing to wait. I hope, beyond hope, that either candidate is better than that idiot, Bush, and this country will move in a positive direction.

Is there hope? Will there be change? Only time will tell.
