Had the exact same thoughts last night. What suprised me was he DEPTH of my anger. Towards..oh everyone..everyone that doesn't vote and says it doesn't matter..everyone left and right that wanted (and still does!) to jump on the hate Kerry bandwagon. Kerry has some real flaws..and he's not everything I wanted him to ben (who is?) and still I mostly keep my mouth shut about it because compared to these slime criminals he is the best promise this country WASTED ..and DAMN it America..even if you don't lose Roe..this country is going down the tubes..jobs..the environment..pointless wars..supporting torture..and it's hard to not be angry at everyone. That said, I understand a conscience vote..but anybody that didn't vote the last election is the real source of my ire. And you want to blame that on Kerry because he's BORING or not whatever you wanted him to be: Too fucking bad America, you are the loser..because you are so waiting for the perfect candidate..(oooh somebody "fun"like Clinton-what a superficial country this is) the perfect person on all your pet issues and this is your legacy of your lazy ass and your "it doesn't matter who you vote for."
Can't get an abortion? Too bad. Can't take drugs you need? Too bad. Can't get a real job? Too bad. Can't breathe the air? Too bad.
FREEDOM ain't free. And it doesn't come from killing Arabs or whomever the enemy is that the goverment manufactures. It comes from holding the goverment to account. Cynicism is just what they want, because it works. WHO cares who you vote for huh?
Right now it matters to someone being tortured. It will matter when the real Bush legacy is realized 25 years from now-bannana republic.
America was a nice dream with endless promise. But you don't get to keep it being lazy being swayed by bullshit religious distractions-gay marriage-and false patriotism.
This is hardly anyone that ever posts on DU-I know-it's not you guys..but if you aren't angry I don't understand.
