I can't wait until this election is over. #1, I can't believe I sat through all four of those debates. Criminypsilante, that was some sort of torture. Before I begin, let me just state that I am an Obama supporter. I didn't come to that decision easily... four years ago, I had said "If McCain ever runs for president, I will most assuredly vote for him!". Apparently, four years changes a lot of things. To be honest, I may still have been a bit unsure of my decision had it not been for McCain picking Palin as his running mate. (I am all for girl power.... when the announcement came out that McCain had picked a woman running mate, I was ALL over that).... but, man.... she should NOT have opened her mouth. Dude.... if that woman becomes vice president by some miracle of divine intervention, I may have to move to Canada. Or Mexico. But, definitely not Russia, because, apparently she would be able to see me from where she lives. And, lord knows I don't want her spying on me.
I am completely in love with Joe Biden. That man can run my country ANY day of the week, if you know what I mean. (I don't even know what that was supposed to mean, but it got your minds in the gutter, didn't it? Perverts.)
Back to the debates. If Palin winked at me one more time, I was going to sue her for sexual harassment. Seriously.... I don't want my vice president flirting with foreign dignitaries once she finally travels outside of the United States with her all-too-new passport. I could only hope that they would make her wear one of those burkas.... the SERIOUS burkas where even the eye slits are covered with little screens. I think that would be the only way I could take her seriously. And even then, only if she kept her mouth shut. And, I don't know who "Joe Six-pack" is, but I'm pretty certain he's the guy(s) that I was desperate to get out of high school and away from. The ones with the closed minds and the cruel jokes played on anyone that was any bit different than themselves. The ones who are STILL hanging out with each other and getting drunk every weekend, even though they're 35 years old. Ok... I'm getting a little too judgemental. I apologize to all of you guys who fit that description. More power to you!
But, McCain. No, he may not be BushJr., but he certainly is learning to perfect the smirk and condescension that Bush is so famous for. If he chuckled/grinned/smirked at Obama anymore during the debate, I was going to shoot myself in the head. Ok, we get it. You think he's green and stupid and idealistic. Whatever. Look at your running mate. Anything you say negative about Obama can now be said for Palin. And, anything positive you say about yourself and your experience can be said about Biden.
Let me talk for a moment to those who base their presidential vote solely on the abortion issue. It's a very very difficult issue, I have to admit. And, though I would never choose abortion for myself, neither would I impose MY decision on someone else who I have no idea what they're going through. They have to live with whatever decision they make, not I. Choice is the key word. I know a LOT of people who voted for Bush solely on the abortion issue. "I can't vote for (insert Democratic candidate here) because they are pro-choice". Has anything changed on the abortion issue in 35 years?? Has that decision not been made already? Do we really think that if you elect a president based solely on that issue that we're going to change the constitution?? Did W. do what you wanted him to do on that issue? There are a million more issues that are impacting our lives a million times more important than whether Susie (whom we don't even know) is able to have a safe abortion. Base your vote on other issues. The abortion issue is not going to be changed/decided in the next four years. God knows what your beliefs are.... that's all that matters.
Crap... I've got more to say, but I have to pick up someone from pre-school. I'll rant more later.

My apologies to anyone I've offended. :D
