I'm not Hillary Rodham Clinton, but I have a fucking blog, so I'm officially endorsing her message!
Please, pick yourselves up off the ground...I know my ENDORSEMENT OF HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT must come as a real fucking shock given both my comments on this blog and my general life point of view. It actually WASN'T set in stone until recently, and I also don't really have the time or patience right now to fully lay out WHY i'm supporting her -- that'll likely come some other time...though I'll surely ramble a bit here. There's ENDLESS reasons for people's voting decisions, from Big Serious Issues like WAR at one end to stupid ass trivial shit at the other, and everything in between. This includes voting for someone simply because you're voting AGAINST someone else. It's crazy complicated.
I will say (again, this will be a shock) that my patience for The Savior Obama CHANGE Wave is completely shot to hell; I can't bear it anymore. Did I MISS when he turned water into wine? He's running on a FEELING and a SLOGAN...not reality. Which shouldn't surprise me, given the slick times we live in and politics in general. And the media...holy CHRIST, the media. It's all just so WAG THE DOG. And, yes, I know Bill Clinton rode the same FRESH CHANGE IN DC! wave in '92...I GET the irony/hypocrisy charge, OK, people?! Listen, I don't DISlike Obama...I just like Hillary better in 2008. Maybe in 2016, Barack...unless a Republican comes along that I like better.
Which brings me to the point of stressing that I HATE identifying myself as either Democrat or Republican -- though I've always voted Democrat for president -- and REALLY need to finally change my status to Independent. Which also brings me to the point that I struggled (ok, that sounds too melodramatic, but let's still use STRUGGLED) with whether to even MAKE PUBLIC my views on all of this. I'm forever wrestling with smart discretion vs. barking my opinion to the masses. And I DO believe with every FIBER of my being that my opinion is the RIGHT one. But while I have an opinion on everything and everyone, i'm smart enough to know that often it's best just to keep my fucking mouth shut. In the interest of...unity, peace, realizing that everyone fucking else will be too dumb to grasp that i'm right and i'll just wind up infuriated AND shunned, things like that. Oh, listen to me patting myself on the back for my savvy brilliance.
But I've had enough of the empty Barack rhetoric and beaming Young People standing behind him during speeches. I've had enough of his fucking MOMENTUM. I've had enough of the media's USAGE of that WORD. I've had enough of the media's YEARNING to knock Hillary on her ass. I've had enough of normal, everyday people around me salivating like rapid dogs to see Hillary go down. The IRRATIONAL hatred for the Clintons is unlike anything i've ever seen...and naturally, instinctively, I wanna zig while the Feeling of the Country zags. But I've always liked Hillary, so this isn't JUST me being contrarian...though I certainly enjoy being so.
Voting for Obama has become excruciatingly hip. So hip I wanna vomit. My breaking point was this new YES WE CAN music video, created by the fucking Black Eyed Peas frontman, where self-congratulatory idiot celebs pretentiously make Barack out to be like Martin Luther King, Jr. while blindly chanting "yes, we can" over and over -- that whole empty catchphrase thing again. Thank you, Scarlett Johansson...because of you, I definitely WON'T vote for Barack. This video is the type of thing that complete morons sit around proclaiming to be "so powerful." It's also the type of thing that nicely separates the human race for me...Stupid Tools vs. Knowing Geniuses. I gave Barack a chance to make his case to me...and he never sold me on it. The man's young, smart, capable, and knows how to give a fiery, Southern Preacher-esque speech. But these aren't reasons to elect him president.
To begin with, he's way too green. You thought he was black? No, just green. Is that funny to anyone else? I went through several variations of the black/green thing -- I had to point out he was AFRICAN AMERICAN here at SOME point --but most came off as borderline racist. He's also done cocaine, and any regular reader or anyone who knows me well KNOWS that I can't STAND drug use. Maybe more to the point, I can't stand that more and more successful people seem to have drugs in their history, and this pisses me off. I'm righteous and judgmental this way...and I don't give a shit. Why don't we ALL go out every Friday and do blow off a credit card?! YAY! THEN I'd be super duper cool! I feel like no one was raised right. I grew up thinking you were a COMPLETE FUCKING LOSER if you remotely went near drugs. Silly me. NOW you can become President of the United States! Props to my parents for instilling values. Yes...ME...VALUES. Refer back to my Many Varied Reasons that people vote the way they do.
Holy fucking Christ, this post is far too long. You must be exhausted...I am. In conclusion, I will NOT run with Oprah and The Beaming Idealistic College Students and Ted "I Killed A Woman Once" Kennedy by throwing my support toward Obama. By the way, how NOT "fresh and new" is aligning yourself with the Kennedys? What sweet vindication to have Hillary win Massachusetts! But I digress. I SUPPORT HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON! She's incredibly smart and capable, tireless, and has YEARS of experience in both Washington and Arkansas in MANY capacities. And that's just being general. Oh, yeah, she's also a woman, and I have no problem admitting I LOVE the historic appeal of living during the first female United States presidency. I DO think that in inself is an incredible reason to vote for her. If it was Pam Anderson running, no, I wouldn't vote for the Historic Female Reason. But it's Hillary. "I don't mind a woman, just not HER!" is what I so often hear. Then WHO? WHO? Quit your fucking nitpicking. Aren't you BORED by the prospect of yet another white man? What other woman is even on the fucking radar as having a shot in the near future? Condi? Pelosi? Those are the TWO remote candidates. I'd like to SEE this. Be alive during this. I'm thrilled by the idea of it. A First Man! HILLARY IN '08!
