Politics


Well in the last weeks of October 2008, when none of the other mud slung at Barak stuck, the republicans turned to calling Barak a socialist. Well, what IS really wrong in spreading the wealth around, anyways?? If everybody is a “have”(as opposed to a “have-not”) the world would be a happier place. What is wealth good for, if it does not do humanity any good?

Anyway, the argument from the republican side is baseless. Let us face it…socialism saved capitalism when the houses voted for the bailout :) And under Bush we have the first state-owned insurance company :) And the state owns or is going to own most of the houses:) And the state is going to own stocks in companies(oo-la private enterprise owned by the public like in China :)

So who is the real socialist? Or who made this country socialistic by falling asleep at the wheel??

Barak’s mother was a white lady, father a black man. So how can he be the first black prez?

He is black and white in equal measure. What would the black community feel if the whites said he was white? In equal measure they would be right!

The media is killing the moment with racial tones. Barak is a well-spoken and perhaps a very able administrator and I am thinking the media should concentrate on all things other than race. I don’t want to see divisive folks like Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton given anymore limelight. We all have to move beyond seeing color and start looking at the abilities of a person. Divisive talk will not help in this regard.

But I suspect, the media will keep bringing these racial stats and racial dialogs and destroy Barak and his presidency. The news media in the US is capable of making and breaking people really fast.

I hope not. This day should be deemed as “out with the old ways” and “in with the new”. I voted for Barak because Palin was a bad choice for America. Mccain’s judging skills cost him my vote. Also I cannot trust the world with somebody who does not know how to use a computer or a cell phone:) (and somebody who does not know that Africa is continent:)

I hope Barak does all that he promised…provide low cost health care, bring jobs back(stop freaking outsourcing!), pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan(albeit victoriously) but still maintaining our leadership in the world(very precarious with Bush and Cheney screwing it all up for us..a very difficult but needed job), spread a bit of wealth(lower disparities of incomes between CEOs and workers…Why the heck should a CEO earn 500 times more than me???), lower the price of gas, promote alternate sources of energy(no unnecessary drilling to fatten CEOs), provide private-school kind of education to public school kids(we have the $$$ to do it, why not??)..

Those are a few of the changes I would like to see in the next four years.

On the first day of office, I would love to see a few of the old executive orders of Bush thrown in the garbage – notably, the executive order to allow offshore drilling that Bush and Cheney crafted for their cronies. Also sign-in stem-cell research – other countries are way ahead and we are afraid of the Christian right??

I hope that Barak is not a dud. I hope he restores my faith in democracy! I hope he is able to restore the govt of the people, for the people and by the people that Bush and Cheney have so effectively destroyed! No more of this “managed democracy” where people are afraid to exercise their basic rights(getting to be like living in say China, Russia, Cuba , Singapore etc)

Thanks to the media, I now know it is in Alaska (as in the bridge to Nowhere:)

News: “Palin has energized the base”

Hope it is not McCain’s (eW! what a thought!) :)

Well democrats have no such problem. Look at Clinton for example…his base is always “energized” :)

Palin looks like a lady out of a xxx bondage movie ..or is it my old school ma’am I feared? :)

Her coming out of Alaska is like a moose exploring the city :) ..DANGEROUS to people around :)

If you still think that politicians do anything for the common man, you need a brain transplant.

We no longer have a democraZy in the US. We have an oligarchy.

Let’s face it: No nation on earth has pure democraZy. Some have its own corrupt version of it. Sorry to say that Abe :)

So politicians are in the game not for the common man, but for themselves and the people who fund them from behind(aka lobbyists) . So what should we do on election day? Don’t vote would be a good decision. I will be doing that, anyways in 2008. My world works without politicians anyways. Whatever I do or dont do does not change a thing for me. Well maybe I should vote…and write-in the name of my son for what it is worth! :)

Hillary is a flip-flopper and so is Guiliani and MOST of them. So you see my point…knowing that if you go and make one of them a leader of you, just stinks :)

I should say this though…Dennis Kucinich is one person that is not a flip-flopper.

Will he go anywhere…Never!

I had great respect for Gore from say 2000 to 2006 AD. But the convenient truth of today is that I dont like him anymore. Gore and his global warming lie of a movie just put me off him. The hypocrite wants us all to go-green while he walks around with a carbon-bigfoot. Do as I say, don’t do as I do. Global warming is a lie. 75% of the world is water and nobody seems to factor that into any equation. And I believe all weather changes are cyclic. Don’t anybody worry about mother nature. She knows to correct herself now and then via floods, fires, hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones etc.

And Bush…what an f-ing SOB (putting it mildly :) ) . Without daddy’s help full-time, he could have as well acted the caveman part for real in the Geico ads :) . In the next life he could be in some God-forsaken-land on earth begging for one square meal…and thinking what the f he did in his past life to deserve that. Ultimately heaven and hell are both on earth, my friend! This brute has delayed the arrival of the “age of Aquarius”.
