Bush vs. Kerry...
Ahh, Election day approacheth, and I am vexed on who to choose. While, my culture preaches that we should be ousting Bush, I am still a bit worried about the John Kerry Presidency. Why? Well at least I know what I am dealing with when it comes to W. I know that Bush has been in office for 4 years. I know that I am doing horrible with my portfolio, I know that I am stuck in a Money Pit of a Condo, and I also know that the price of Gas has risen from .82 to 1.82 in 4 years. I also realize that as a single brotha, I haven't had a tax break, continue to get reemed on SS and State/Govt income tax and I am not to happy about my Student Loan. But, the good news is, I don't have to worry about behind the back politics.
I know what I know. The funny thing about Bush's politics is that you get what you expect. IF you expect George Bush to hand over Big Business on a silver platter you are wrong. If you expect George Bush to provide you with a office instead of that stuffy cube you are wrong. But what you can expect from George and his gang is consistancy. Mediocre consistancy...hard core crime overseas, hellish senate battles. (Captian Hook Haliburton rules over the Senate you know.) Yet, one good thing I can say about Bush... George Bush aint no punk. The world realizes this...yet what do we see in John Kerry? A Plan for Minority Health? Energy Independence? Affordable Health Care for all? Strength and Security for a new world? Hold up JK. Hold on. This land is my land, this land is your land. Who are you trying to fool. How do you expect to push all of these plans past congress, past the senate and past the American People. It took George Bush 2.5 years to restructure the Clinton Govt. (Which was in power for 8 years.) So what makes this man think that he can accomplish this much? John Edwards is a rookie. Not to mention that there aren't to many Democratic front runners for Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State, Homeland Security etc... One thing I have learned in my travels is that Big Talk = Little action. An answer for everything = little action so, in most cases I have to be a bit weary of JK. (Also one thing to note: JK is worse than a rusted swing set...he does have a checkered past...up one minute down the next, on the democratic side, republican the next. Far from Liberal but not to far from the Right.)
More than likely JK will get my vote. After all, I would like to see Hillary Clinton become a cabinet member, I also have faith that the inner Hippie in JK will help the world understand that Americans aren't Cowboys, with 6 shooters on the side. But be careful. Write down JK's plans. Mark my words...not much will take place. Especially if we continue to focus on the Presidential race vs the Congressional and Senate races. ISnt this our most important choice. When you hit the ballots do we really know who our senator is? Are we really sure that our elected officials understand our demands, our fears, our pain.
How can a John Kerry or George Bush feel my pain. How can they understand the drama that we feel. It is one thing to live in a Big White House...But the world is technicolor and Rich White Men will never understand. 18-24 year olds who have been inspired to vote...will be confused when walking into the voting booth. They will punch their presidential ticket and get over anxious when faced with the remaining votes. Remember your first time? it was so sweet. There the ballot was so innocent so, beautiful, freedom was. But after that first punch came more choices. Unexpected names, laws, choices. Time was of the utmost importance...what was this. Voting became hard work. Not a glorious opportunity...Now what does the average person have to think about prior to hitting the voting booth. Social Security is not the biggest issue is it. Health Care really isn't the issue. Jobs could be an issue...but think about the Global picture.
Beheadings, High College Tuition, Africans with Aids, Global Warming, Global Waste, Space Waste, Kidde Porn, Prisoners vs Soldiers, Mental Health Care, Nuclear Korea, Russian Mafia, Middle Eastern Outsourcing, Big Business Corruption. Now these are some issues. Handle them George W. Handle them JK. One of you two will be in the trenches of our new world order. 3 days dictate the future of our World. Vote or die? Choose or loose? Debate if you must but one thing is for certain...Come January 2, 2005. A new world will begin. One of continued chaos or one of unexpected chaos. Select your candidates, gentlemen start your engine....The world is not ready for what comes next.
Meanwhile Sadam sits in jail, Osama sits in the mountains, and the crackhead/heroine addicts infest our suburbs. How sweet the sound of silence. O say can you see...by the dawns early light...how proud can you be of our country? We drop bombs on the poor we ignore the hungry. People are dying daily, and we worry about social security.
But aint that America, little pink houses for you and me...#$%@ your neighbor.
En Peace.
