You could vote.
Presidental elections are looming and while I may not be able to vote from over here in the U.K, I’m taking the responsibility that every person should – I”m doing my research. I’m asking questions and I’m taking an interest in these candidates; one of whom will be the leader of the worlds’ greatest super-power. [ I use the word "greatest" loosely]. From Clinton’s [thats Bill - not his Mrs] policy of “don’t ask, don’t tell”, to Bush’s call of the amendment that banned Gay marriage all together; America hasn’t had a very good run of gay supporters in the white house.
As I trolled the ‘net this morning, visiting all my favourite lesbian haunts, I was shocked to see dozens of strong lesbian and gay sites displaying banners of support for none other than, white wash – appeal to the masses – Hillary Clinton. Okay okay, credit where credit is due – the woman has balls. Her husband lied through his teeth during his presidency, smoked but didn’t inhale, sexed but didn’t sexualise and then got himself impeached. The woman has guts but surely the only reason she is putting herself through all of this is so she can get into power – hardly the most selfless objective.
Hillary Clinton; the woman who during husband’s presidency supported the Defence of Marriage Act, a law preventing the federal recognition of same – sex marriage. So you can see why I’m a little confused as to why so many gay guys and gals are flaunting their support for her all the shop. Of course now she’s realised that she also needs to appease the lesbian and gay community by showing some support for them, even if that is by simply supporting the union of two homosexual people. She walks the tight-rope of inclusion for inclusions sake, and prays to her bible perfect God that she will have done enough to prove to the public that she is very different than her shit-head husband. Surely there are better candidates? – Those that actually give a toss about gay or indeed, equal rights for all despite their sexual orientation..?
Well let’s see. We have Barack Obama, a young energetic liberal who sponsored legislation in Illinois that would ban discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. Well that’s great and I commend him, but that law probably should have been passed years ago anyway. But yeah, decent guy who has a few good things to say about the health service and education but erm yeah then his says this -
“I’m a Christian. And so, although I try not to have my religious beliefs dominate or determine my political views on this issue, I do believe that tradition, and my religious beliefs say that marriage is something sanctified between a man and a woman.”And this; “Giving them a set of basic rights would allow them to experience their relationship and live their lives in a way that doesn’t cause discrimination”.
Oh fuck off – really?! Are you serious?
Heh they weren’t lying when they said that politics was ‘dog eat dog’ – Give the socially outcast dog a bone just so he will stop hounding you, jumping up on your clean trousers and mudding them all up. Give him a bone so he will get out of your face, thank you graciously for your fairness and go play with his tail. Basic rights? – oh you are too kind.
Honestly; it really doesn’t matter who you vote for. War is Peace. Peace is War. Liberal is Democrat – it’s all the same. Whoever wins the election, and I have a feeling that it will be Hillary; they will merely be a puppet to the world bankers and major corporations that control everything. In fact, instead of voting next year why not try out some of my alternative suggestions on what to do with your ballot paper.
1) Save a toilet roll to use. Cut your ballot paper accordingly. Use the roll and paper to create a ramp, lean it over a small bucket or empty can and heh presto – a rat trap – perfect for vermin. If it had a logo, it would read “Don’t vote it – catch it”. Nice.
2) Steal your entire families ballot papers, scrunching up a few and rolling the others like stands – thus creating excellent fake awards to give out because you really feel that ‘Blood Diamond’ should have won a ‘freakin award at the Oscars this year.
3) Make paper planes!
4) Draft a letter to your newly sworn in President explaining your dismay at them being voted in – even though you never bothered to vote.
Your suggestions are welcome. Good luck Hillary. *cough*.
