Wow....I knew we were an outside shot from the beginning, but now the official statement has been made, and even though I think i knew it would end this way, I never thought about who I would support past Mr. Gore.
I must say this, Al Gore as our leader is still my passion....I must come to grips with that just not being possible. So my next question, everyone's next question.....If not Al, then who?
I never stopped to think it through...part of me thought he would really jump in....part of me still had faith that the people could speak out, and be heard. I always fall for that shit..... But I suspect I'm not the only one here that does.
But now that the "system" has failed me yet again, who gets my vote? Perhaps I could auction my vote on eBay like so many pranksters did a few years ago....perhaps that would be what I should do to completely give myself to this idea of rampant capitalism. Indeed that may be what this era of greed dictates I do.
Perhaps I should stop struggling, and Vote for Mrs. Clinton. I don't like her attitude, but she'd make a fine president, and could carry us toward a brighter day....
She doesn't light the fire in my belly though.
Perhaps Mr. Edwards....He is a fine candidate as well. He's a strong Populist, and while I know that I am firmly entrenched in the middle class, I come for a poor white Southern background, and I always fall for that shit too.....
He doesn't light the fire in my belly though.
Perhaps the Big O. He speaks to me, oh my how he speaks to me. He heals with his words. He makes me feel enfranchised. he talks such a good talk. Almost seductive in his pitch, almost powerful in his cadence.
Almost lights the fire in my belly too....almost.
Kucinich...Kucinich....he is looking mighty oppositional lately....a good place to be from....He is a constitutional purist like myself....and we can safely assume he isn't sexually frustrated (my god how did he end up with her!?!?! speaking for ugly men the world over, I salute you Mr. Kucinich!!!!)
He almost lights that fire too....but I question his ability to deliver in the general election.
OK.....
here's my plan.
I'm going to change my name to Al Gore, and I'm going to run as an independent, and when I win, I will secretly let Mr. Gore make the rules....
It's all I can come up with to make light of it....politically speaking, I'm a bit lsot right now.
