Given the dustup over the “revenge” comment made by Obama and the subsequent “love of country” retort by the Romney team, I thought about revenge. To the left, revenge and avengement for past grievances, be they real or imagined, is nothing new; in fact, revenge fuels much of their policy and agenda motivation. So, getting worked up about a lefty uttering that word initially did not get me worked up. Ditto for Romney’s “love of country” comment.
But then I thought of something: what about this country? What has it been through the last four years? What has happened to the hopes, dreams, ambitions, and expectations of so many people since January 2009? What has happened to our standing in the world? What about the Constitution, our ability to defend ourselves, or the promise for a better tomorrow? In essence, what has happened to my country, your country, our country, and who facilitated this shittiness?
That’s why I do have revenge in mind with my vote. I fucking have revenge in mind for what has been inflicted upon this country. I have revenge in mind as I seek to see those who did this to us retired from office. And I fucking have revenge in mind, since I love this country too much to see those who this to it granted another shot to ruin it even further via the legal means granted to us.
Amoebafuck those in power with the ballot and the legal avenues to remove them from office bestowed upon us as a birthright. We are this close to voting the left out out of office and into the fuckbin of history, so don’t let up now.
That is all.

CNN says race is tied, using D+11 weighting in their most recent Obama campaign literature, oops, I meant their most recent honest, impartial poll. So, I want revenge on those media bastards, too, at the same time “THE ONE” is being retired in richly-deserved disgrace.

It’s been a while since I have tooled with the blogs. I have to say about this, though; Voting in Texas is all but a worthless endeavor due to its consistant right leaning public. I left ffor work on election day without any intentions of participating. I did grab my registration card just in case I changed my mind. I made it about a block up the road when it hit me that I must vote no matter how slanted the projected outcome would be in my state. Like you, I felt good about the overall results and wanted to be a part of it. The results were disappointing in that it was close enough for either side to steal via fruadulent activities (I’m not syaing I believe any of that or not). It shouldn’t have been that close though. In that, I find an unsettling disappointment. I cannot believe that the mindset of this once great country has given away to the inability to be self reliant to the point that we are so desparate to WANT a parental government to take care of us in every way. To me, it’s emabarrassing that I live in a country filled with people who would rather be spoon fed than to grab the spoon and feed themselves. I’m not sure what happened since the Great Generation, but I certainly never saw this coming.
