Sunday, 12 September 04 :: bad attitude

i have a bad attitude this morning. seriously bad. i mean, so really incredibly bad.

john kerry is not going to save us. john kerry is not going to be some great angel from the heavens and all of a sudden fix the multitude upon multitude of problems in this country, created not only by george w bush but also by his very own party.

i'm sorry. but its the truth. help is not on the way. what is on the way is the lesser of two evils. what is on the way is someone who is only going to slow this country's decline into an imperialistic nation where only the super rich can afford the lifestyle that so many people come here to achieve. i'm sorry, but again, john kerry is no savior.

i voted for kucinich in the primary, and kucinich is no savior either. frankly the democratic party, a party of which i have been a member for my 13 years of being able to vote, is a bunch of namby pamby liberals. namby pamby because they aren't liberals like the liberals i hang out with.. my friends, i, and others, we raise our voices with dissent, we stir shit up. we don't sit idly by while some man tries to ruin the world because god told him so. if i and my community were in power in the leadership of the democratic national committee, tom daschle would have never gotten away with giving into the bush administration over and over and over... if we were in power the dnc would have demanded the truth about 9/11, enron, the war in iraq, and raked bushy and his buddies over the coals with it.

i'm sorry to burst any bubbles, but john kerry is one of them. he is a super rich guy who doesn't know how humiliating it is to have to apply for food stamps. he doesn't get it, and he never will.

and the folks who think kerry is the great savior, well, they are as stupid as the folks who believe that bush is the great savior.

this message brought to you by a very tired woman who has to go and listen to folks from the democratic national committee feed volunteers a bunch of crap today about why they need to give their hearts and souls to getting kerry elected, while neglecting the local candidates.

I couldn't agree more. All I hope for is that he can manage to pull it off and win in november.

about
i'm brooke, born in '73. i am currently a phd student in instructional technology. this is the blog where i capture all the neurotic, and the few non-neurotic, moments that seem to come with being a phd student (if you want to read less neuroses and more professionalism go to: oer's, dl's, reuse and culture: it's about a phd student researching digital resources in a multicultural world). i have been from eugene, oregon for a long time.. 8 years specifically (its my home now, but i grew up in southwestern virginia), but now i'm here in logan, utah at utah state university. after finding my roots in eugene i never could have expected that i would leave that liberal oasis and head to utah. but i did and there are days when its a blessing and days when i'm tempted to go back to oregon and beg the folks at lost valley educational center to let me move in. but i won't leave because there are days when this process is better than any kind of high i could ever imagine. what else? i collect things, i have 2 cats, 2 kayaks, 2 laptops (i'm a geek - one mac, one pc). i can be emailed at brookesblog@rivervision.com.
