They concluded the presidential debates last night, but not all candidates were invited. In fact, only the Democratic and Republican nominees were allowed. (Or at least that was my impression as I didn’t watch any of the debates.) There are others running for the Presidency, Ralph Nader, for one.

He has run in the last couple of presidential elections. In the 2000 elections, some of the more liberal voters cast their votes for Nader rather than Gore. They believed that Al Gore wasn’t liberal enough coming from a centrist, Democratic administration, and that he would kowtow to the whims of whomever is pulling the strings in the country. I can’t believe it. I want to say, “Thanks, you cocksucking twats.” You’re the reason for the eight years of ineffectiveness and stupidity that has become of the United States. If I wasn’t angrier at the dumb Republican voters, you’d surely get plenty of my wrath.

But Nader is still running this year. Let’s hope no one votes for him.

I said it once. I have to say it again: Our nation is poorer with George W Bush as president. He comes on TV and admits it. The state of the economy is ill. He says its been feeling this way for years. But a quick booster shot of money will fix it?

Didn’t he say this back in March 2003 to Iraq? It’s time to call his bluff. Why should we believe a word he’s saying. Your telling me the best and brightest in the corporate world can’t figure out a way to get their ass out of this mess? How’d they get us into this mess?

Our nation will be poorer still with a Republican as the next president.

Wording in the proposal from Treasury Secretary Paulson for the Big Bailout

“I asked for French fries, not frozen potato planks placed in the general vicinity of some warm grease.”

The Big Bailout is only helping those who caused the problem, and it’s going to be supervised by the same people who for the last year have been saying the financial crisis has been contained, in other words, the same people who don’t know jack.

Thanks, Republicans. The political party that preaches fiscal responsibility is the most fiscallyist responsible! The FUCK they are! They also have been scaring the populous about the “Dems going to raise taxes.” Under whose watch again did this massive spending come from? Who’s going to pay? How are we going to pay? TAXES! Makes you wonder if this isn’t some plot by the Republicans to hobble the government with debt then point out that the government can’t run properly. That’s just plain incompetence on that political party. They have no right to even run for dog catcher.

If only you can also get a helping hand from the government. Let’s dump our bad investments on the people. You have that Milli Vanilli CD? Get the government to pay you for it. The best part is they will gladly pay top dollar for it. It’s worth hundreds!!!

What now?

As you have probably heard by now, we are going to have another four more years of Bushism. Another four years of mismanagement. That is our future. What happens to the Democratic party after this is anyone’s guess. It wasn’t bad losing the presidential race, but to lose it by that close of a margin in the popular vote hurt. I keep asking myself, “What reality do I live in and what reality do those who voted for Bush live in?” Because, frankly, I think they’re different. My reality sees the empty rhetoric propogated by the Republican party, which culminates in the ridiculous presidential “compassionate conservative.” We have rewarded incompetency. It wasn’t a Democratic president who chose to ignore a serious threat to the country. It wasn’t a Democratic president who chose to squander a surplus and create a deficit which needs to be serviced soon. It wasn’t a Democratic president that started a futile war in the Middle East. But it wasn’t a Democratic candidate who won the election.
