Election ‘08 Ass-rape go!
Warren Ellis is 100% right. The only way to categorize the 2008 Presidential Election is as “Fuckup 2008”.
It should be way to early, but speculation, rumor, and all of the giddiness over Election 2006 have somehow convinced people that we are ready for President Barack Obama or President Hilary Clinton.
First of all, I’m a democrat and I don’t want to vote for either of these people. Hilary has this whole “for the children” censorship streak in her. Obama is a junior senator suffering from an inflated ego due to, as Chris Rock would put it, “he-speaks-so-well-syndrome”. Of course he speaks well. He went to Harvard-fucking-Law. One speech does not a president make.
Neither will win the general. I’m sorry. We are just not there yet as a nation. Hilary will never win Michigan, arguably one of the most important states in the general election. And if she can’t win Michigan, there is no way she can win Ohio. And Barack Obama is black- light-skinned at that, removing any guarantee that even all black folk would vote for him. With these two as the candidate, the election isn’t about issues, its about color or gender, and I don’t believe this nation is up for facing the problems we have in those areas. When it does go down, I want to be a part of that discussion. But the next presidential election is not the time.
So, let’s take some deep breaths. Grab our ankles, and gently tug our heads out from our fucking assholes.
