Idiotic Frustration

From the very start of the election I have found increasingly frustrating to follow. It has been a parade from the start, a circus of silly banter and stupid comments from all parties. Remember when the democratic debates were aired and Hillary and Borack continuously exchange blow after blow at each other in a never ending she said he said battle that in the end made both look like five year old kids. I just get discouraged when I watch a presidential debate and instead of the candidates conducting themselves as grown men all that occurs is subtle slandering of the other. And every time I try to immerse myself in the election I am baffled by the actions of our potential future president and vice president. In actuality I am talking just of McCain and Palin. However, I feel from this point on we are choosing the lesser evil. Like Matt had said in class Obama’s policies are unrealistic and irresponsible but we cannot stand what McCain stands for and embodies. Then I feel that choosing Sarah Palin as a vice president was a slap to the face. She is being exploited to the max. She is being used by McCain it seems to not only because she is a woman but because she was inexperienced and because she appeals to particular group of “middle class women” with her soccer mom lifestyle. Bullshit, I can’t believe after how many statements about how inexperienced Obama, McCain turns around and picks an extremely inexperienced WOMAN! I feel like this election is incredibly irresponsible and exploiting huge gender and race issues present in America. Even in the 2004 election no one wanted Bush to stay in office but we couldn’t vote for Kerry because he was an idiot. I do understand that I am being immature, close-minded, and idiotic for not wanting to be a part of this election but honestly, where have all the honest, responsible, great people to run our country?? Why cant we have an election where we are debating on who is better because we LIKE both candidates instead of choosing the lesser evil?!

There are six candidates on the ballot here in California. I know that our country has fallen into a kind of dependence on a two-party system, but you don't have to vote for McCain or Obama: Take a look at Bob Barr, Ralph Nader, Cynthia McKinney or Alan Keyes.
