yes, john edwards is coming.
john edwards is going to be at the u of oregon tommorrow. might i go? i can probably get a ticket. but, well.. after going to see teresa heinz-kerry, the crazy crowd shit and all that crap. ick ick ick. i loved teresa, but not the crowd. i'd love to hear him talk with that accent of his, but i'll get enough of that once he's elected.
apparently kerry might come back. and bushy will be down in central point (southern oregon) thursday or friday. oh, i wish i could go down there. throw an egg at that fucker. hold posters of some of the dead americans and iraqi's. tell him that he's a criminal. tell him that a man with an iq of 98 should not be leading a country with as much power as ours seems to weild. i want to let that fucker know how much he has hurt the american people with his rhetoric, with is evangelical shit, with is stupidity, with.. all that evil that is wrapped up in his political agenda. i want the people who are down there to see they are selling themselves out to the devil. i want, i want.. i want people to get it. and i want bush to get it.
yes, i live in a swing state. so, you know what that means? every candidate is coming to oregon. before the 15th. because on the 15th the ballots drop. yeah, if all goes well i'll have voted by the afternoon of the 16th. i can tell people -- sorry, my mind is made up, i've voted. leave me alone.
but my mind is pretty made up already about our measures. i'm going to be splitting with my progressive community to vote yes on a measure being funded by the insurance companies, but the reason is personal. my ultra liberal, progressive, wonderful doctor says to vote yes on the measure. if she says to vote yes on it, i'll vote for her. yeah, thats a vote for her, because she is the kind of doc you don't find often, and if passage of the measure will make her life easier, i'm all for it.
otherwise, i'll be voting yes for medical marijuana being more readily accessible, yes for protecting the forests, no for a constitutional amendment defining marriage as being between a man and a woman, and on and on.
i'll be voting for bob ackerman -- where the fuck is his campaign?? i've neither seen here nor there of him! no literature, no nothing. i've not gotten one piece of candidate mail. and i'll be voting for andrea and kitty, and of course, kerry and edwards. i'll abstain from a vote in the sherrif's election, because i wanted louis gomez to win instead of the fucker thats there now, i might even just write in louis gomez.
it will be nice to have it all over with, at least for my personal vote.
i'm looking forward to this campaign season to be over with. i'm not looking forward to not seeing the folks i've been working with down at the carry oregon office, but thats life and now that i've become one of them, i'm sure i'll run into them again in my travels. different than my progressive community folks, but good folks, folks with good hearts, just a lot more politics wrapped up in them.
