| Bush v. Republicans |
| Posted by Michael Moretsky at August 30, 2004 11:44 AM |
The Republican National Convention is this week. I will not be watching it. Actually, I probably will watch it a bit, with a shot of rum in one hand and a bottle of Tums in the other. I literally get angry whenever I see our president on TV or read about him in the paper. I am not so much anti-republican as I am anti-w. He is not what I want in the leader of the free world. The leader of the free world folks!! This guy has his hand on the button and he couldn’t even manage a baseball team successfully! I have three birds and I enjoy putting w’s likeness face-up on the bottom of their cages. It’s a game. The first bird to cover w’s face gets a special treat.
Anyhow, I am angry this election. I am angry about what I feel are the close-minded and ego-centric policies of our current administration and I am confident that we will have a new administration sworn in this January. However, I am learning to separate the republican party from the president and his good ‘ole boys. Though it took some time and convincing by a few patient right-leaning friends, I no longer feel that all republicans only have their own best interests in mind. But the republican leaders most certainly do IMO. So to those of you reading this who have decided or are thinking about voting for w, I am pleading with you not to. If you can’t bring yourself to vote for Kerry than simply abstain from voting for president. I will write more on this in future blog entries.
