I must say that the upcoming American election has my stomach all tied up in a knot. The excitement I feel about either one of our fine candidates and their nominated vice presidential selections taking the free world into the next phase of global evolution has gotten me all frisky. Suffice to say that we’ve got a competitive bunch from which to place all our hopes and dreams on.
One the one hand, we have a loyal American war veteran whose questionable economic policies, negative campaigning habits against his rival and possibly deteriorating health may almost certainly give way to the leadership of an erratic and temperamental sorority schoolgirl with the global knowledge of a rusty doornail. On the other hand, we have a proud minority leader from the streets of Chicago whose party is even more divisive than ever on the nation’s direction even though their prayers of majority House and Senate control have been granted. And let us not forget the democrat selection for vice president whose present accomplishments include being able to walk around without a bridle and a leash despite his extensive talents in botching facts, speaking without thought and off the cuff. Yes my fellow Americans and global citizens, this election has indeed narrowed down the best of what the United States has to offer the world.
John McCain and Sarah Palin on the Republican frontline make quite a pair I must say. The party chose well when teaming up an isolated beauty from Alaska with the old goat. The move of course was to work America’s female audience in the hopes of defeating Barak Obama and his minority audiences. And who can resist Palin’s homegrown average-Amercanism? Even coupled with her $150,000.00 wardrobe, lavish mansion and other extensive gubernatorial perks, she’s just your average gal trying to make a change in this heavily male-dominated world.
Under John McCain’s experienced leadership should he be picked as the successor to Geroge W., I can safely say that the world is in reliable hands. After having lived through major American turnaround events such as the Great Depression as well as the Civil war, who can question McCain’s patriotism and attention to the trite and true dilemmas that face everyday young Americans as they attempt to survive our current economic crisis? His ability to bond with those young Americans as they are led to shaping the future of the United States is unquestionable. Lest we not mention the stern commitments that his voice delivers during his speeches over the creaks and groans heard of his body caused by a combination of arthritis, metabolic anomalies and other age-related symptoms as he addresses socio-economic and global policy issues. In all seriousness however, it can be said that McCain is a man of determination and grace. To think that he has the ability, the swiftness as well as the sound and steady judgment to rebuild the United States into acquiring some of its lost social and economic spirit is truly astounding. That is the kind of attitude that had made America great and it is the attitude that can definitely change America’s standing in today’s accelerating global environment.
Come election-day, a difficult choice awaits the American people: the old white-guy or the young black- guy. And what can be said about the young Illinois Senator that has not already been said. Barak Obama has no war experience which means he can actually lift both his hands above his head in joy should he actually win the presidency. He has no gubernatorial experience whatsoever which probably means that his collection of undergarments still consists of cheap tidy-whities from Walmart. His ideologies of redistributing national wealth in this worldwide economic crisis deems him a socialist and oh yes, his last name rhymes with “Osama” which makes him a terrorist as well. Quite a list of accomplishments Mr. Obama! How exactly do you plan to win this presidential race with your questionable track record?
Actually one cannot place complete blame on the candidate himself for trying to be the first black president in American history; even if he is a terrorist and a socialist. What about placing some blame on the party that he represents? Ask the Democrats about their direction on the extraction of American troops from Iraq and they are divisive. Ask the Democrats of their solutions to various socio-economic issues pertaining to the mortgage crisis that has stricken the American middle and lower income populace and they are divisive. Ask them about their policies on the kind of toilette paper that is to be used in the democrat-dominated House and Senate buildings and they still remain divisive.
The reality is that while the eight year tenure of Republican incompetence has nearly bankrupt the United States and destroyed the American middle-class, the democrats remain the group that is one of inaction. The Democratic Party has become the party that most folks join if they do not want to vote Republican. This of course means that the separatist ideologies of the Democrats comprise of those inclusive of the Green Party, the Reform Party, the Peace and Freedom Party and even the Independents. Should an Independent like Ralph Nader run yet again, votes would be eroded from the Democratic public support body which by default creates a venue for Republican electoral success.
So now we ask: What is good for America? An old war veteran who will probably pass during his first term in office making way for a total nut-job who was part of an Alaskan political group screaming to make Alaska its own country? Or a young and determined senator whose political development and national value creation initiatives will probably be sabotaged by the divisiveness of his own political party?
With a week left in the race for the presidency of the United States, I am confident that the American people will yet again make the right decision. To have elected and re-elected an administration that has plunged the nation into a trillion dollar trade deficit, raised unemployment to a high of 6.1%, abandoned programs that were meant to re-invest into the American public school system and of course created a worldwide economic catastrophe is quite an accomplishment for the folks from the land of the free.
So cast your vote Miss South Carolina 2007 because the betterment of the geopolitical landscape rests in the hands of voters such as yourself. Maybe in a few years time we’ll trouble shoot the need for American school children to be geographically competent because there might not be a world left after all.
