Politics As Usual: Donkeys, Elephants, Crips, & Bloods

What's happenin America? I'm sure you already know. Election 08' is around the corner and it's the most important election in recent history (I can't stress that enough). I don't know if it's me or not but election time divides the american people more than the big game on sunday. It's like the civil war without shots fired just because of these two words. Republicans & Democrats. Think of the Crips and Bloods wearing suits and less gunplay (unless you are VP John Cheney... he shoots people like it's going out of style). They use "liberial" and "right-winged" in place of "slob" and "crab" to insult one another. Instead of waving red and blue flags they use donkey and elephant pins to attach to their suits. Republicans and Democrats use mud-slinging commercials to "tag" each others territories and rep their respected groups. It's the exact same thing depending on your perception.

With that being being said there will be voters that will vote just because they view themselves a republican or a democrat. How retarded is that? Do you really want to do that with the monumental f*ck ups that both sides have both committed? It's really really stupid to make a decision based on one set of beliefs rather than making your own decision. Are you not intelligent enough to think for yourself? Are you that dumb to where you look to others to tell you what's best for you? Whether you believe it or not, that is a gang mentality. To think one way without hearing both sides and all angles is just what I mentioned in the last line. Think of it as the old saying "If they jumped of bridge, would you do it too?"

On both sides of the political spectrum the nation has hit great highs and desperate lows. For example, Democrats had the economic climate booming when Bill Clinton was in office but then again New Orleans got shitted .. Hurricane Katrina. Under Republican control we showed Afghanistan what was really good by placing a giant Red, White and Blue Timbaland straight up their asses after the 9/11 attacks but they also got us in this economic mess and this unneccesary war in Iraq. I'm not saying that everyone threw their vote away but what I am saying there are those that didn't make an intelligent choice based on their own wants, needs and morals over their affiliation.
Our government is not a team playing for a championship or a college it is a group of people that we appoint to make decisions with our own collective well being in mind. Forget all that liberal / conservative bull shit you got to think of whats best for you, your family, your money and your future. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and election time is the best time to excercise that right. (By the way, I'm encouraging intelligent opinions not ignorant ones let me go ahead and say that now). Do not let your family, workplace, homies, TV or the internet influence your viewpoint, take the time to create YOUR OWN.
