Wall Street Protests

[Urbane Guerrilla]

I unzip, dear boy, I unzip -- a worthy thought. One I can brandish. One only improved on by pissing on tw's impolitic -- how impolitic! -- head. How do you feel about it? Do you look like an Obama voter too? That's how someone... broken looks.

I am seriously considering boycotting the next election. The choices are lining up to be 1) Bad and 2) Worse.

But then I'd miss voting on local issues and candidates, though. I feel that an individual voter can have some impact there. I'm even willing to go as far as voting for a Representative for the Colorado State Legislature. Maybe I can just leave the National stuff blank.

Ignore everything until well after the Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire primaries. Historically, the party's nomination is hardly even known until after those events. What is ongoing is the nonsense that will wed out many we should not even know about. I will never understand why anyone pays attention to so much nonsense as if any of it was relevant. Currently the many who only crave power are shooting themselves in the foot. Or pissing in their pants.

None of it matters. The National Game has become too corrupt. Whoever gets voted(?) in under the current system and set of laws will not be a representative of the people - not whoever is President and not whoever gets into Congress.

The current deadlock in Congress is ample evidence of this. Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle want their owners to see that the Congressmen are voting for the ideologies they have been paid to back. Congress does not care that they have managed to lower the US's credit rating. Congress does not care that unemployment remains at 9%. Congress does not care about the American people. Period.

And Obama doesn't seem to care that much, either. He doesn't seem to be making an effort to even rally his own party - not really.

So, I am returning the favor.
