Anolis18 Well that was quite a read. Good thing this is chatterbox. I tend to get rambly and ranty when it comes to political idiocy. Between now and election day every speech made by and for Romney and Ryan will follow a very specific formula that must be met in every speech no matter the focus of the issue: traditional man woman families are awesome, America's the greatest country on Earth and don't you forget it, and there's no such thing as religious freedom because God gave good conservative Christian rights to the founding fathers. In every GOP speech I've heard somewhere in it no matter what family, America, and God always come up. You have to wonder, are they pandering to the everyday people like you and me like they want you to believe or are they really pandering to the pulpit in the local Christian houses of worship.
(I'd say Judeo-Christian but they never seem to acknowledge their Jewish Republican brethren lately. They always talk about how America was founded with Christian rights and values, which comes across as narrow minded to realists like myself)

Clint I respect you. You're a great actor, but do you really believe this bull crap the GOP is making you say?

It's over a month away but I am quite tempted to get tickets for the one day afternoon showing of this digitally restored masterpiece. I'd be willing to sit through a newsreel, some behind the scenes footage with King Hussein visiting the set, Scorsese discussing the themes of the movie and their impact on movies that followed to this day, and a fifteen minute intermission in order to see one of my most favorite classic films on the big screen.

Chibi Halo Clint I respect you. You're a great actor, but do you really believe this bull crap the GOP is making you say?
But Obama started the War in Afghanistan in 2001, don'cha know! Yes, Obama's been president for ELEVEN YEARS and we didn't know it! Bush who? emotion_awesome But seriously, I just want thie election to just END. I'm tired of it. It's just dragging on and on and ON. It's like that show that you hate, but it somehow gets renewed for five more seasons and goes nowhere.

Sissy Blade Chibi Halo Clint I respect you. You're a great actor, but do you really believe this bull crap the GOP is making you say?

It's like that show that you hate, but it somehow gets renewed for five more seasons and goes nowhere. You know what's worse than a situation like this? Finding a candidate you truly believe in and can respect and like and want to see do good because they believe in the people of the town they come from and fight to make certain they get a fair shake in life and you can't vote for them because you live one mile west of the imaginary line that separates your district from theirs. And so because you can't vote for this person you're stuck in a district where the mud slinging is so terrible you can't get away from it. Every day when you turn on your television the commercials are there on local cable, the mail is a constant barrage of letter sized postcards from both sides, and your favorite radio station is playing commercial after commercial from both candidates. And this isn't even an election for someone going off to Washington. It's an election to send someone to represent your section of your little city in the state capital. It was just as bad as a race for the Senate or White House. And they did it all before the era of billion dollar super PACs. At least with the television and radio ads the people one mile east of you, who live in the same little city, have to deal with that same mud slinging. They're just lucky they don't have to get the mailings too.
Yep, that's been my situation in the last two elections for state legislature. When I first discovered the first candidate I was truly excited for in a very long time I was way pissed that I had to live a mile west of his district and was stuck in a very public and nasty cat fight district. Two women slinging more mud than a very wet mountainside and boy was I sick of it. My poor recycle bin that year got very full very fast each week up to election day.

It's that bad where you live? Holy crap! The worst I get is a few TV and radio ads. Mail had only one or two letters. Though since I reached voting age starting in the '08 election, I wonder if I'll get heavily bombarded. (But my district is cheap and broke as sin, so I kinda doubt it sometimes.) But yeah, the only candidate (on the Repub side for President, obviously) that pretty much interested me was Ron Paul. Unfortunately... he got overshadowed by the likes of Mittens, Santorum, and Gingrich. It's like you want to look at a pebble, but some gigantic boulders magically roll over said pebble and you can't even get a chance to look at it. I don't know, considering the election, it's like every time, we're kind of voting for the lesser of two evils. Imagine if every candidate for every post sucked. We'd probably ask for a third option on the ballot that says "Neither". Honestly, the "neither" option might be sounding good to some people, when you think about it.

Random thing I wanna share. Last year, I walked with Ami to Wendy's to get a burger. T'was October. Heavy wind knocked out the power to the neighborhood, so we got some lunch and stayed a little warm. And on the way back... I snapped a picture of this.  The heck kind of tea do you have that it has to cost 99 bucks? (Yes, I know... it's 'sposed to be $0.99, but come on. You know it's odd looking.)

We'd probably ask for a third option on the ballot that says "Neither". Honestly, the "neither" option might be sounding good to some people, when you think about it. Women can be very nasty when running against each other. You have to understand back in 2008 Republican challengers were blaming everything wrong in the State of Illinois on the incumbent Democrats with their Chicago connections they were running against and connecting them to our second corrupt governor in ten years prior. So everything being put out by the challenger, another woman, was scare tactics set out to make the Incumbent a corrupt monster who couldn't be trusted because she was a Democrat. It was the reverse of what was going on with the rest of the nation that year. It was very nasty because the Democrat flung it right back at her Republican opponent with much of the same tactics, like the scared and concerned mother standing by the gas pump in one television spot.
The irony of all of this, the guy that I wished I could vote for left office to take a position within the state hospital system.
