What is the damn deal with Americans wanting to vote for somebody they can 'identify with', who they feel is 'like them'? Jesus, I am not qualified to be leader of the free world and neither are any of my neighbors! I wouldn't trust any of the soccer moms I know and I wouldn't trust somebody who isn't up to speed with modern technology and the modern world. Why do Repukes find it CHARMING that McCain can't use a computer? Why is it ATTRACTIVE to them that Sarah Palin is a hockey mom who doesn't know what the Bush Doctrine is and just got a passport two years ago?? Because THEY don't know what the Bush Doctrine is and don't have passports? That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard.

How can this be happening? I swear, I am stunned. It is scary to me that ONCE AGAIN, the moronic American public appears to be choosing someone based on how much fun they would be at a BBQ. Where the FUCK have these idiots been for the past eight years?? Jesus, if you want to eat BBQ and drink beer with these people, FINE. But running your country?

Breathe...I need to breathe...

2. I am getting SO sick of the media saying, "Oh, that isn't an issue because
most Americans don't know what the Bush Doctrine is" and "Oh, that isn't an issue because only 27% of Americans have passports" and "Oh, that isn't an issue because most Americans can relate to having a pregnant teenage daughter" and on and on and on.

AARRGGHHH!!!


(I would WAY rather have Barack at my BBQ, BTW)
