This is change?

August 23, 2008 by disenchanted

Oh yes. The “Change Candidate” just had to go and put an old white guy on the tix. Now who the hell am I going to vote for in November?

I’m about in the same boat as you. I’ll still vote for Obama, but really… couldn’t he have put someone on the ballot that would have helped him pick up a state he didn’t have a chance of winning otherwise?

If this is his idea of strategy, we’re screwed.

Let’s hope I get my European passport soon. That country may be corrupt, but at least having it will grant me access to others!

Even the hardcore Obama freaks that I work with are a bit perturbed by his selection. Me thinks that this just indicates that he’s a “real pol” who follows the standard playbook — he’s not the changemaker they expected.

Blah.

I wonder who McCain will pick?

McCain disgusts me. I don’t really believe any politician is going to be the big change guy/gal. I don’t think the country can unify itself at this point. Southpark makes a good point…you’ve always got to chose between a douche bag and a turd. You just have to hope that there is a lesser evil.

We need more than “change”…perhaps political reform? i don’t know. the system we have doesn’t seem to work. The current democrats haven’t stood up to the current administration (and they won’t). There is a problem somewhere…

Also, it’s funny how America got super religious all of a sudden. Back in the Kennedy days he had to swear up and down that his religion wouldn’t get in the way. Now you have to say you are a God loving Christian to even be considered as a candidate. I’m not anti-God but I just find it interesting.

It’s all a joke in my humble opinion.
