*bonus post* get mad

McCain went and tried to pick a woman for VP. i dont know. i'm not swayed but i can think of some people who may be. those PUMA people. and clearly they are NOT about party unity. what he might shoulda did was pick a black woman. then again, that might piss off PUMA people because i'm like 75% sure they only hate Obama because he is bi-racial and one of those races is african-american. 

i'm a little confused because he and his supporters wanna pick on my man Barack for being young and inextricably inexperienced. however, i'm not sure how old this woman Palin is but she has only been in office for 2 years. prior to then she was a sports reporter. if his 72- year-old ass dies in office, this no-name chick is next in line. i dont know what creditials she holds that make her an apt candidate for running a nation... i mean and she is responsible for Alaska. what comes from them except eskimos and snow crabs. i think they might have oil, but that's about it... this has been another rant brought by Antithesis. today's product review is below. 

Biden is Obama's running mate

thoughts?

"not this time!"

http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/hisownwords/ <---- video and transcript of Barack Obama's speech ...ICYMI

in a word: HOT

The Obama's with Barack's sister and brother-in-law

red, white, and you

you know the date so you better know what to do!!!! get off the computer and head to the polls if you're in the right states. I'm from a non-state and our primary is not until the 12th. i plan to do the absentee thing (pending my request got in on time). so yea, it's the least you can do. and if you're a woman and/or black, people fought and died so you could do it so... do the right thing!

that's not why i'm mad

while i may be the only one, i dont thinkg hillary really meant anything racial by her comments. i'm more upset with her for this: 

just chattin' it up w/ bob johnson, huh? NO! i do not appreciate it, regardless of the fact that he may have attempted to come to her rescue. 

in case you missed it: 

As an African-American, I'm frankly insulted that the Obama campaign would imply that we are so stupid that we would think Bill and Hillary Clinton, who have been deeply and emotionally involved in black issues when Barack Obama was doing something in the neighborhood that -- and I won't say what he was doing, but he said it in his book -- when they have been involved.- Robert Johnson, founder of BET

honestly, i'm more upset at the fact that she claims to be in support of african-americans and sits up and acts like this man was not responsible for one of the worst things to ever happen in african-american history. furthermore, his statement was...for lack of a better term, lame. of course, he later recants his statements. But we all know what he meant and what he was referring to. however, foot-in-mouth syndrome is common among Z-list figures.  people say whatever the hell they want and later just "take it back". 

instead of focusing on what obama did, let's focus on the excriment that spews from the broadcast station that you created! how about that? would that be a good start for rectifying "black issues"?

as far as barack obama and illicit drugs, the hypocricy is rampant. let's state some facts. alcohol is a drug. it is illegal for someone under the age of 21 to consume alcohol. let's not pretend that all these politicians, without exception of hillary, waited until the legal drinking age (may have been 18 during her time) to drink. therefore, most of those folks did illegal drugs too. just a thought. "pot, is that you? you're calling me black?"

organized confusion

the randomness

i am even more disenchanted and apathetic post last night's republican and democratic debates. i need to know what an "illegal" looks like. what can you get from the doctor that only costs $1000? huckabee may be right when he jokingly said he could barely get a kleenex for that price. hillary tried to get her balls back by attacking barack. why was the question posed "what makes you different from senator obama?" no other democratic candidate was cited. interesting.

so who looked most un-presidential?

sorry, hillary, but you stuck out like a sore thumb. maybe it was the blue suit with the green...i dont kno...t-shirt?

if the election were this tuesday

not on the basis of the nonsense presented but i guess my vote would go for Obama. not because we are both black but because i agree most with his platform and positions.


ISSUES and my thoughts

Abortion-- is not a method birth control. allowed in curtain circumstances.

Same Sex Marriage- religiously speaking, there is no such thing as marriage between parties of the same sex but i have nothing against civil unions and the recieving of the same rights as man and wife.

Universal Health Care- government should provide SOMETHING for all americans. options to subscribe on own or through employers.

The War- get out of iraq. you can not repair what you have messed up. leave immediately and APOLOGIZE.

Slavery- speaking of apologies. not wanted or needed. your apology will not recover any records of my family history nor country of origin. information taken for granted by so many people of other ethnicities can not be brought back through reparations or an empty "im sorry". what price can you put on that anyway? i will not speak to the heinous acts because i was not there and it didnt happen to me. we all know it was wrong but i would prefer racism be dead and gone rather than to get money in my pocket.
