It’s a Tuesday morning, the weather sucks, the economy sucks, the country is in a mess and I saw the latest poll numbers - according to Gallup McCain is crushing Obama’s support among independents now. Needless to say it has gotten my blood pressure up this morning. If you are expecting this to be a civil post, might as well stop reading as I am pissed today.
So yeah where to start. I simply do not get it. I am not sure how anyone can support someone who has supported Bush an average of 90% of the time since January 2001. My thought is that if you support Senator McCain at this point you fit in one of three categories:
One, you are ignorant and have poor judgment and should not be allowed to vote. You think everything is going ‘ok’ and buy into this bullshit war on terror as a crusade versus evil that is actually winnable (clue: it’s not you can’t beat ideology.)
Two, you are racist and refuse to support our nation’s first major-party African American candidate.
Or three, you are in that income bracket that makes a living by fucking everyone else over and want more of the same.
Now I am not going to go into a long spiel over why McCain is bad because if you support him you don’t care or don’t believe, and if you don’t support him you already know.
But this brings me to the next point - and I don’t really give a shit how controversial this may sound, but in layman’s terms fuck the south. There I said it. Fuck your ignorant, flat-earth, close-minded, racist, bigoted ways.
Your red-voting states are a drain on this country. For all your bitching about taxes, us so-called “immoral liberal” states SUPPORT YOU. If not for us, you would have to either pay more in taxes or do without infrastructure you depend on because fact is, your states do not have the GDP to support it!
According to The Tax Foundation report, 23 out of the top 25 states in federal dollars received versus paid are states that supported Bush in 2004. The same Bush that is leaving the next president with the largest deficit in history.
As counter-intuitive as it is with our fiscal situation the way it is, if McCain is elected I hope he cuts the shit out of taxes. Know why? Because it will hurt you FUCKING IDIOTS in the red states that supported him a lot more than those of us that did not. Here in NJ we get the raw deal - every year since 1981 we have ranked as either 49th or 50th (and 48th once in 1993) in federal tax dollars spent on our state, while we contribute more per capita than any other state. So yeah, tax cuts won’t hurt us - we already don’t benefit from it here. But Alaska (yeah Palin’s Alaska) will have to beg for more windfalls from their big oil friends. You know, the same windfalls that are an evil democratic idea. And Mississippi? Next time there is a hurricane don’t think you are getting jack shit either. The list goes on and on. You hate welfare? Then start your crusade against it by paying for your own fucking shit!
I am from a blue state, I am progressive, I support Barack Obama and all progressives for office, and I do NOT want to support you ignorant fucks in the so-called “red states” anymore. No way will my daughter inherit a piece of this national debt that YOUR presidents rung up.
Please, do us all a favor and secede. It will save me tax dollars and without your ignorance weighing down the electorate maybe we can get a good leader.
