theladyroseI have such weird feelings about this year's presidential election. If I were able to vote, I wouldn't really know which candidate to vote for. I honestly don't see how anyone could have known who to vote for from the very start. Kerry has come up with some really lovely rhetoric about foreign policy and domestic policy involving health care, but I can't possibly imagine how he'd ever get Congressional approval for all of those measures. Does he really think that he'll be able to win over the support of our allies for the mere reason that he is not Bush? I sincerely doubt it. No President can actually make jobs, anyway; it's mostly the late effects of previous presidents' economic policies that shape up the country's economic situation.
I really hate how people are voting for Kerry because they think that Bush is "bad" and "stupid." How can you simplify the fate of the United States with two such simple adjectives? Bush is not Hitler. Farenheight 911 was another outlet for Michael Moore's liberal ranting; it is not, and should not be called, a documentary. While I am not a personal fan of the current president, I don't think that the Democratic party came up with the perfect candidate to replace Bush. I don't know why I am saying this, but I am quite sure that Bush is going to win this election. I just know it. I'm not sure what to feel about that, either.
I had this really weird dream a few nights ago with various segments of the various debates and all of the various newsclips running through my head. Interspersed were lots of segments from the Prisoner episode "Free For All." Oish. There's so much propaganda flying around that it's really hard for me to know what to believe and who to trust. We make out these big differences in ideology when they don't exist.
