Congratulations Obama

The results are in.  Barack Obama has now been elected President of the United States. 

Obama wasn’t my choice, but the people have spoken.  I will pray that Obama brings the positive change that he promises and that he can fix the woes our country is currently experiencing.

President Obama, I hope you can rise above the challenges of inexperience and prove my concerns wrong.  As the new leader of our country, I wish you the best.

Mythbusters – 2008 Elections Style

Guys like me get pretty annoyed at all the slanderous ads out there for politics.  You know that only a small portion of them are true.  We all know that there is no such thing as a squeaky clean, truth telling politician.  At least not in this country.  

All I really want is the facts.  That’s why I was very happy to find this article on Q13 Fox News.  It debunks the myths and lies from both sides of the political fence.

Check it out here

Found the Problem!

I was watching the news this morning and they had a snippet of Chris Gregoire, our current Washington state Governor, talk about the state’s budget deficit.  She said, quote:

I’m taking steps to eliminate the $3.2 billion deficit.  I created a plan to cut education costs that saves us $1 billion.  That’s about half of the budget resolved right there!  Dino Rossi hasn’t even given us a hint of what he’s going to do about it.

Now call me crazy, but last time I checked, I passed 1st grade math.  Therefore, I know that $1 billion is no where near half of $3.2 billion.  In fact, that’s $700 million dollars off.

Well, there’s our answer on how we got into the deficit in the first place.  Gregoire can’t do math!  It’s not that she was a reckless spender.  It wasn’t that she was a thief.  OK, well maybe she is.  Definitely is.  But the biggest problem here is that SHE CAN’T DO BASIC MATH!

Have you seen that commercial where they are trying to show her working hard and taking notes saying “she’ll work for you”?  What they aren’t telling or showing you is that her notes said “2+3=Chair”.

That’s it, I’m voting for Uzumma the baby gorilla at Woodland Park Zoo.  She’ll do a better job.

That’s it…

I know, I know… it’s been a while since I posted.  This one won’t be very interesting.  At least for those not interested in politics.

Today is August 19th, 2008.  Today we vote on our Primaries.  Today is the first time we vote on something that matters and not be constrained by party lines.

Those of you that know me are probably thinking “What?  The Rooster is opposing party lines?!  I thought he was a die-hard Republican?!?!”

Well, guess what?  I’m tired of party lines.  Our governmental parties are so lost from their roots that “Republican” and “Democrat” really don’t have much of a meaning anymore.  Especially since there are so many variations to each party that it is nearly impossible for one to determine which one they are anymore.

Yup, that’s right.  I’m here to say that my beliefs have evolved to say “F*** THE PARTIES!”

When I drop my vote today, it will be for what I think is right.  Who will do the best job.  Who will save us from our woes.  If not save us, at least voting for who I think will send us on the uphill battle to pull our state, our country, out of the sh*thole that we have gotten ourselves into.

I am NOT a Republican.  I am NOT a Democrat.  I’m not saying I don’t believe and support aspects of either party, I’m just saying that I’m not a full-blooded supporter of either one (extremist, if you will).

Republicans have lost their way.  They are being led by a half-retarded, coke head, alcoholic that is less intelligent than a monkey smoking weed after a take-a-little-extra-off-the-top lobotomy.  Not only that, but we have so-called representatives of the right-wing that are so hypocritical that if they passed all the laws they push through Congress, they would end up with a life-term prison sentence themselves.

Democrats, for the most part, can’t make  a decision for the life of them.  Most of them flip-flop so often that their proposals sit on the table for months, even years, drying up the money and resources of the people of this nation – only to be thrown out resulting in nothing being done except having our money stolen from us.  No less important is how Democrats approach topics such as global warming.  OMFG, don’t even get me started on this one… I’ll save that for another post.

Anyway, the short of my story here is now that we aren’t required to declare our siding party, we have the opportunity to fight for what is right, who will do the best for the people of this nation, and how we ultimately handle foreign relations.

For all your readers out there, do us all a favor.  Get out there and vote for the reasons I mentioned above.  F*ck the parties, vote for what is right and who will grow us a unified nation and get us out of our recession (that’s right Republicans, we are in a recession whether you want to admit you drove us there are not), and actually help our foreign relations instead of starting wars across the globe.

It’s up to you.

Silly Governer, bars are for adults

Our Governor of Washington state, the thief known as Chris Gregoire, attempted to go into a bar the other day.

Gregoire, as Governor, should know the law.  Why then, did she attempt to go in a bar without ID?

I say ‘YAHOO’ for the bouncer for denying her!

All of Gregoire’s cohorts were trying to get the bouncer to budge, but he wouldn’t do it.  Whether or not he had any political reason behind it, he was smart and held true to the requirements of which previous violations in Seattle led to Operation Sobering Thought.

The fact is with our government being as slimy as they are, this bouncer, regardless of ridicule by the Governor Groupies and his own boss, followed the law.  If someone can’t be identified, they can’t be let in!

So, Gregoire was sent home, and her husband still went into the bar.

I’m willing to bet Mr. Gregoire, after ditching his wife, bought the bouncer a shot and said “Thanks, dude.”

Best Campaign Ads

Alright, I found my new favorite website (www.cracked.com).  There was a photoshop contest for “What the presidential campaign would be like if the candidates had balls”.  Here a few of my pictures.  To see all of them, click here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If I Voted Left…

If I voted democrat, I would throw in my vote for Obama.  I don’t necessarily agree with all his values, but the fact is I think Hillary is a devil-woman.  Possibly even the Anti-Christ. 

My main reasoning for this is that Obama just lays it down like it is.  He is one of the most honest politicians that I know of.  Unlike Hillary, or Bush for that matter, Obama is known for not just talking about his plan, but actually carrying it though to action.  He also doesn’t exaggerate his past experiences like Hillary.

The least of my concerns here, but still a factor, is that I am tired of the Bush/Clinton dynasties.  We need something new!

So, anyway, like most of the news out there right now, I found this article on ABC News that talks about the ongoing battle between these two candidates.  One quote really stood out to me:

“Throughout the nominating process, Obama has done better than Clinton among young voters, urban voters, black voters and Democrats with college degrees. “

In a nutshell, the majority of our young voters, cross-racial demographics, and people with educations are smart enough to know that Obama is the better of the two. 

Clinton is holding on to the hope that blue-collar voters will swing her way.  This is her only hope at this point. 

The part that scares me about this is that it was the blue-collar majority vote that put Bush into office.  We all know how that worked out…

So, to all my blue-collar friends out there: please be smart.  If you vote Democrat, vote for Obama.  At least we’ll know what we are getting into…

Complain about Complaining

Interesting article from Associated Press… that’s right Cranky Monkey, the Associated Press.  Not what you call right-wing fanaticism that is Fox News.  That’s right [myself], it’s not what I call left-wing fanaticism that is CNN.  It’s from what may possibly be, the only news source that is still unbiased.

This article talks about the basic facts of our democratic candidate’s behaviors:  translated to hypocricy – a general trait requirement for any government official. 

I just hope this is the beginning of these two candidates eating each other.  Not metaphorically either.

I think as we get closer to November 8th and we find the superdelegates don’t have enough of a margin to declare the Democratic nominee and the Democrat party itself still can’t ever make a decision (reference Seattle Viaduct, light rail, monorail for perfect examples), these candidates are literally going to freak out, attack each other, and the winner takes all.  Especially the thigh.  Why the thigh?  Because neither Barack nor Hillary have a breast that anyone would ever want.

I hope you enjoyed the pun. 

Are you kidding me?!

John McCain is the man.  He is, by paper, a Republican, but he sits on the fence with a lot of issues, just like me.  He doesn’t care about what the GOP reputation wants.  He doesn’t care about what the Democrats want.  He goes for what is right (meaning correct, not right wing).  McCain is my kind of guy.  The guy who can get in office, get our parties to work together, and do the job right. 

Now, the New York Times, most likely on behalf of the dirty campaign managers, has attempted to defimate McCain by saying he’s committing a sex scandal with some lobbyist.

WTF people!  C’mon!  First off, a man of 71 years of age has about 95% chance of not even being functional.  Second, even if this blatant lie was true, can’t you just be happy it’s with a woman?!

If this is a smear campaign brought on by Democrats, shame on you!  If you bring on another sex scandal, you are just going to make Bill Clinton look bad again, and probably drop Hillary’s approval ratings lower because she is weak and unable to stand up to infidelity (after all, if you can’t stand up for yourself at home, how can you be expected to stand up for your nation.   

If it’s from Obama’s campaign – I would be surprised for such a childish tactic that just proves you aren’t truly concerned about change.  If it’s you, you are just pulling the same old song and dance of one party versus the other, contrary to your commitment to bring parties together and take care of true issues at hand.

If it’s Huckabee just trying to get his leg up in the GOP primaries: get the f*** over it you douchebag.  You suck, you’re old school, and no one likes you anyway.  Not even a Republican like me.  Face it, you’re not the nominee.

If none of the above is true and this just comes from NYT, that’s just proof that the media is just one big piece of lying crap that doesn’t care about informing the public of truth, rather ratings and shock value.

Well guess what?  You aren’t pulling my vote from McCain.

20 Requirements to be a Good Democrat

A friend passed this along to me.  It was originally called the “22 Requirements to be a Good Democrat” but I didn’t necessarily believe all of them.  Since this is my blog, I will only share points I believe in:

1. You have to be against capital punishment, but support abortion on demand.

2. You have to believe that businesses create oppression and governments create prosperity.

3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans are far more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Chinese and North Korean communists.

4. You have to believe that there was no art before federal funding.

5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by documented cyclical changes in the earth’s climate and more affected by soccer mom’s driving SUV’s.
     – My caveat:  I believe we do have an impact on the environment and fully support turning our habits around to take better care of the Earth God has entrusted us with, but I don’t think we are all of a sudden on the verge of irreversable catastrophic damage.

6. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.

7. You have to believe that the same teacher who can’t teach fourth graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.

8. You have to believe that hunters don’t care about nature but looney activists who have never been outside of San Francisco do.

9. You have to believe that  self-esteem is more important than actually doing something about it.

10. You have to believe that Mel Gibson spent $25 million of his own money to make “The Passion of the Christ” for financial gain only.

11. You have to believe the NRA is bad because it supports certain parts of the constitution while the ACLU is good because it supports certain parts of the constitution.

12. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.

13. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell.
     – My caveat:  These women are very important (Sangar is a partial exception – I think preventative birth control is fine, however, abortion is pre-birth murder).

14. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist but racial quotas and set-asides are not.

15. You have to believe that Hillary Clinton is normal and is a very nice person.

16. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn’t worked anywhere it’s been tried is because the right people haven’t been in charge.

17. You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites and bestiality should be constitutionally protected and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.

18. You have to believe that illegal Democrat Party funding by the Chinese Government is somehow in the best interest to the United States.

19. You have to believe that this message is part of a vast, right wing conspiracy.

20. You have to believe that it’s okay to give workers the day off on Christmas Day but it’s not okay to say “Merry Christmas.”
