Hi guys
So I wanted to give my thoughts on the upcoming presidential race, who I like, who I dont, all of that.
So if you've been keeping up with this stuff, you know for the Republicans this is essentially a 2 man race between Santorum and Romney, with Newt Gingrich and my boy Ron Paul having no shot at victory. This is bad people. Santorum has already made a pledge to band pornography, which while I don't personally view it, it still is a violation of our rights to ban it, and he also says he will work to destroy the separation of church and state, one of the MAIN THINGS this country was founded upon. Romney isn't much better, saying he will destroy planned parenthood, which is a source of medical care for women across the country among other things, and is going to give MAJOR tax cuts to the rich, putting more on the little guy. Not to mention both men are against gay rights, and want to stay in the pointless war in Iraq to continue to make sure the defense contractors can still pocket their money.
The other side, Obama, isn't very promising either. He has good ideas, but he is so damn weak he can't get anything passed. And don't gimme this crap about it being a republican congress, when Bush was President he got every damn thing he wanted passed through a democratic congress. Not only is Obama weak though, he also passes absolute nonsense like the Patriot Act, which says we can indefinitely detain US citizens without a trial, something that is forbidden by the constitution. He also refuses to stand by Israel. Now I'm not one of these right wingers who say we should stay by Israel cause they're gods people. It's not that at all. It's just if we don't support them, NO ONE will trust us, and if we ever need help, no one will come to our aid. Another thing is his Obamacare was a good bill, but by the time it was passed it had been so watered down it was absolutely useless, and if he had actually fought the republican congress, he might couldve saved some of the bill.
Bottom line is, we're screwed this November. I will be voting for the first time, and will probably vote obama just for the sheer fact that Romney or Santorum will be worse. Maybe one day someone like Ron Paul will win. Oh well
I guess that's it. Have a good one
