YES WE DID!

Okay, so I have to do the high horse thing for just a minute… WHYYYYYYY is Obama automatically black? I have to know. He’s no more black than I am. But… whatever.

I have never been so excited in my life. Well, I’m sure I have been at some point, but right now can’t think of it. This is amazing. I mean, okay, I was pissed when Bush won again last time, but I was still in school, and really didn’t give a crap about the “real world”, plus there was the feeling of, well, at least he can’t run again.

But this… oh my God. McSame and Paleface were the very embodiment of so many things I’m against. Palin is just…. Awful. And if McCain whined about being compared to Bush one more time –ugh. I’m so glad the right candidate won this election.

Now, I don’t want to sound preachy, and even I can admit that there is ONE person I would have loved to have seen in this campaign, but I’ll save that for another day, but I have to wonder what kind of life people my age and younger have that supported McCain. I really do. Especially young women.

Do you want your personal choices being dictated by the government? I’ll hit the ‘hot topic’ right off the bat: abortion. Okay, no one WANTS to have an abortion, it’s no one’s first choice, but sometimes, it’s the best choice. I would rather die than be forced to have a child I know I can’t care for. As for Palin’s extreme case views. If I got pregnant as a result of being raped and was unable to get an abortion, I’d start “accidentally” falling down flights of stairs. I don’t care how ‘offensive’ other people might find that, and I’m not sorry, because that’s my opinion. Women FOUGHT for that choice in their lives and I don’t think it’s anyone’s right to take it away. All you Bible thumping freaks who say life begins at conception – if that’s the case, why can a fetus NOT survive outside the womb until about 5 or 6 months? And McCain… every single one of his policies was a carbon copy of Bush. His condescending attitude made me want to vomit. He scares me. He’s the kind of person I would be uncomfortable sitting next to in public.

I don’t know many people my age who are making 100’s of thousands of dollars a year, and those are the people McSame was seeking to protect. If you’re middle class like me and most of the people struggling, being taxed the fuck out of, while the rich just get richer, why would you want him? WHY?! Let me tell you what Joe the Plumber’s Crack said today on CNN in defense of wealthy people: “Just because I work harder than you, I should suffer?” Motherfucker, just because you make more than me, doesn’t mean you worked any harder. Matter of fact, you probably work less. It’s the broke-ass people like me working our asses off to make YOU money. And then when I lose $5,000 a year in taxes out of my $22,000/year earnings, and your rich ass pays the same $5,000 from your $100,000 a year salary, what do you call that? Just because my job pays less I should suffer further? It’s bullshit. It’s all bullshit.

Barack and Michelle Obama are normal people. He rolls up his sleeves. She wears $135 dresses from Target. John and Cindy McCain are just… ostentatious and flamboyant in their wealth. He wears $500 shoes. She wears $3,000 dressed – and then never wears them again. What the fuck. None of my relatives are barley and hops heirs and I can’t even relate to that kind of lifestyle. My family is mixed, hard-working, and intelligent. That was certainly an easy choice.

Actually, no, another point. WHY THE FUCK DOES THE FACT THAT HE’S THE COLOR OF A PAPER BAG MAKE A DIFFERENCE? I have to know.

And why is everyone so up in arms about any hints that Obama is Muslim? I have no doubt, which him having family in Africa, that he HAS has experience with the Muslim faith… but here’s the thing you ignorant fuckers: MUSLIM DOES NOT EQUAL TERRORIST! Holy fuck what is WRONG with people? I just don’t get it. Who cares? Honestly. Who cares? There’s a huge difference between a Muslim and a Muslim fundamentalist. He’s not going to abolish the 2nd amendment, he’s not going to cut the military, he’s not going to change the Constitution. As a matter of fact, he plans to stack his Cabinet with people who aren’t going to blindly agree with him (like Bush), which is a move of of Lincoln’s book, for you history buffs.

And a side note, slightly unrelated: I’m getting so annoyed with the anti-immigration sentiment in this country. Yes, it sucks that citizens are losing jobs because immigrants are willing to work for nothing. But guess what? It’s not THEIR fault, it’s the company that PAYS THEM! How the HELL do you think this country got populated in the first place? Go take another history class or something.

All I know is that we can’t take another 4 years of Bush, which is what we would have gotten with McCain. There’s no way around that. We’re currently in a pointless war that has gone on for 7 years longer than necessary. We get hit with a terrorist attack, we bomb the hell out of Afghanistan within 8 hours, we get threatened by North Korea and Iran… and then we spend 7 years in Iraq? Really. First it was the WMD – which, by the way, if they had, they were given by us – and they didn’t exist. Then it was about getting Saddam. Okay, done. Now… what’s it about? It’s about the US being a bully. Get it over with already. Just get it over with.

Now, I could get started on the local elections, but I don’t even think I can. Joe Mesi? Are you fucking kidding me? Doctors told him he couldn’t box anymore because he was one breath away from being damn near brain dead, so all of a sudden he wants to be a Senator? A SENATOR! Not even like a local mayor or anything, he wants to jump right to the Senate. I don’t even have the energy to go there. I can’t. It makes my brain cells punch each other.

On the plus side, Judge Lisa Rodwin ran unopposed, which is always a great thing. She’s tough on domestic violence, and she’s my best contact as far as jobs go, so I need her in there.

Now, I can go to bed with a great feeling of relief. 2009 is gonna be the best year ever.
