basildestinySo my brother is in town. Semper Fi! And he mentioned that he has to vote Republica now that he's in the military. Right now I am in the mood to have him convince me that voting Republican is right thing to do, but he's not home right now. Watching West Wing really puts me in a mood. This is the best show ever!
so what would you argue about the Republican incumbent? The President? That he has military prowess? How is that? Granted, we pull out and that whole thing is going to collapse taking our own boys. Something I do not want to see by any means especially since at that time, my brother will most likely be over there. Marines are invincible and all, but sometimes you have to think about the Army. ;) So I definitely think that George W. Bush's experience in Vietnam will be very useless-- oh wait! That's right. He wasn't in Vietnam. He served here in the States during that time. Do you think that Kerry's knowledge in Vietnam would be useful? Kerry hasn't said we should pull out anyway. He says we need more guys and he doesn't have a problem with that, but he wants to open things up to the UN. Hopefully those guys will go in this time instead of being cowards.
How about the tax debate? I definitely think that the republican idea of more tax breaks is a good idea. It is our money. And my neighbors living in HUD Housing with their food stamps definitely know what to do with their own money much more than economists who went to schools and then worked on this their entire lives. My neighbors who have not one, but two dogs tied to trees with chain less than 6 feet long. Or how about my other neighbors with the 8 pitbulls, 4 of which are puppies, and definitely were bred for to better the breed. Those people definitely know better how to spend their own money. Let's forget the fact that half of my neighborhood has a home because our taxes paid for those homes. Or the fact that half of my neighborhood has something to eat is because our taxes are spent on those people. Hey, those people may be fucking stupid!! But I'm willing to bet that an economist has better ideas for reducing the deficit than my fucktards neighbors.
But yeah, let's vote Republican. Shall we go on to the stupid homosexuality debate?? I'm not gay. But dammit being homosexual is NOT the same as being a pediphile. That backwards way of thinking should have gone out in the 50's and 60's. Put my tax money to educating people about homosexuality. The truth about it too. I know that's pretty radical sounding, but unitl we can get our heads out of our asses and figure it out, then let's be radical.
Where's Leland?
