Presidential Election '08: McCain vs. Obama
Like millions of other bloggers out there I will be posting my assessment of the historical election that is to take place today. It's not going to be pretty so if you don't feel like being offended turn away here.
Obama will win.... For all the wrong reasons. Here's why I say it's the wrong reasons.
He will win because let's face it, people are not the brightest bulbs in the box. We all know Bush did a fantastic job of driving this country into a hole so deep it totally fucked everyone for generations to come. What the people are assuming is that because Bush is Republican and McCain is Republican... They are one and the same. By putting McCain in office you would be repeating the mistake all over again.
McCain will most likely lose the election for the reason stated above and another big one: Sarah Palin. He committed a major election suicide by choosing her as his running mate. If we were going for a high school popularity contest he did great. But when it comes to picking someone to help you run the country.... You do not want the average "soccer mom" to be your partner. She's an idiot. But I understand you needed the "commercial" appeal and edge.
This is the reason I hate the most of why Obama will win: to be different.
Driving into work today I saw signs that supported Obama followed by "Be a Part of History... Vote Today!" People are voting for him because he's black. Sad to say... it's affirmative action. They don't' even care what he has to say about how to run this country, but they just think it's cool and historical to vote for a black president. Do not put a man in the President's seat because of that! Put him in there because he has the credentials and ideas to support what you think is going to make this a better country.
This election helped me to acknowledge how uninformed people are. They vote to put a black Democratic candidate in the White House and they don't know why. Ask them why they are voting for him for any other reason than being black and to be different and to bring change. Just because he's a Democrat does not mean it will be better.
