Being a former Witness, when I first left the religion, I thought it would be a good idea to stick with a party that was fairly conservative in their stand. Although, in many ways I did not agree with them, I liked the Republicans more then the Democrats. So I registered Republican. Here is the thing though, and it really frustrates me. Why does a party that is stereotyped to be old men in suits, keep putting men on the ticket that are just that? When Bob Dole ran, I thought then "Is that really the best Republicans can offer?" and guess what, he ran and got smoked by a younger man who was promoting change. The same thing happened when Bush Sr ran against Clinton.
Of course, in 2000, Bush runs and he wins (sort of) by being a younger Republican and maybe able to connect to the next generation of Americans born after WW2. He wins again, because everyone could see Kerry was even a bigger prick then him.
Now we come to this year. They are saying, that because of the War, Economy, and Bush be very very unpopular, the Republicans will have a struggle to win in November. So what should they do? Why not put an old man in a suit on the ticket. Someone in their 70's! Lets forget about the younger generation that is voting and looking for someone more in touch with them, let's get an old man. It worked with Dole, right? It is always like this, "We need to give him his turn?" Why, do they not want to win? I personally looked in to the man, did not like him. I told myself early on, "Anyone who thinks the American people are dumb enough to think removing a 15 cent federal tax for the summer was how to fix rising fuel cost," Will not get my vote.
So I am perplexed, I think Obama is a dishonest flaky politician who will say anything to get elected with no center message and McCain, a god damn old man who seems to old for the job and out of touch with the new generation.
What an election year! At least you know, our government is so F'ed up in modern times, that nothing will get done right with either one anyway.
