Why I don't care about the elections right now.
I don't like Obama and I really don't like Hillary. Picking the lesser of two evils is what my choices have been narrowed to thanks to a media that pretended the other candidates didn't exist.
That said I got bigger things to worry about.

Our corrupted government brags that america tortures people.
We have DEBT Slavery rearing it's ugly head again.
ONE million Iraqis are dead and no one dares call that genocide yet that's what it IS.
The Iraq war was to bail out the dollar and eliminate the ones the rich white oligarchies called"undesirable" in other words those who will not assimilate into a consumer lifestyle)
Globalization is marching on invading our lives unhindered
The country is being bankrupted by complicit criminals on both sides of the isle and no one seems to notice,The media is being pressured to not air a story from 60 minutes. The poor and working poor are being screwed big time by the wealthy. http://finance.myway.com/jsp/nw/nwdt_rt_top.jsp?news_id=ap-d8ujpcco0&

The Democrats are too scared to Impeach ass hat because maybe they are all GUILTY?

I am sorry but that kinda stuff like torture,corruption going unchallenged,and tolerated in my mind renders this election a dog and pony show by comparison. Clinton or Obama,More of the same corporate loyal puppets again..

On the personal front other things occupy me.They are closer to home. For instance,Since Bush's budget passed,I am scared to go for physical therapy for my twisted knee because I am afraid of being stuck with the bill. I can't walk normal yet and it's making me crazy...Why am I hesitating? My MA insurance is questioning the claim on the night I broke my leg falling down the stairs just got the questionnaire today..I hope I ain't stuck with an ER bill I could NEVER pay that off on SSI.I'd be a debt slave forever. I got more work on my chest done(no additional costs thank Sekhmet but it hurts) and I'm getting a cold now and I don't want to have a fucking cold yet AGAIN Why in the fuck do I get colds all the time? Was it the fucking weaponized mycoplasma, I caught from that Gulf War vet years ago that damaged my immune system? (probably).

I am worried how more expensive BGE is gonna be after the coming profit digging cost raises that the rich pigs in the statehouse approved will be? It will affect less than wealthy people in Maryland mostly...And I can list many more things that make this election seem futile to me..I am so sick of hassles I feel like screaming.And I admit it..

I lost faith in this government when the Dem's got the Senate and the house and still CHOSE to give monkey boy whatever he wanted. Seems this government can't do anything but pander and give handouts to the corporations , the right wing and the rich. I'm not a corporation and I'm not rich and I am farther left than the majority who are not below the poverty line.So My ability to survive will be reduced AGAIN regardless of which puppet wins...I am invisible to Obama .A person to rob,for Hillary. I think invisible is better than being robbed again. So I will hold my nose and vote for corporate puppet Obama.Just to say I hate the right wing,but I know nobody cares.

I fear after the winner is sworn in it will be more of the same shit as the economy tanks and the government becomes a nanny and cookie jar for the rich and a whip cracking overseer,spy and thief for the poor/working class. BTW When will enough people rise up smell the lies and corruption, and kill the corporations and sharpen the Guillotines to use on the fortunate thieves? Because the rich are going to fuck us over yet again,how much can you tolerate of the shit this government has done and is doing still before you say fuck playing by their rules ? Parties are pointless if they are being bought by the same criminal enterprises ya know.

2. Sigh
I know I wish when the results come they'd just post who won.And that's it. No more squabbling.
And instead I wish they'd focus on what really matters,what's important,what can hurt our lives these pigs are doing while most Dem's are distracted with the dog and pony show.I think it's because they can afford to play the dog and pony show they are comfortable enough to afford these distractions. I can't afford it because I know I'm screwed either way regardless of who wins..

5. I'm not sure about that
my guess is the media's intense interest in the gender/race factor (which they seem to treat more as a novelty than history)

6. at least
I hope you have a speedy recovery, undergroundpanther - that's a lot of health problems to deal with...
hang in there

it looks more and more that change will have to come from the bottom up - and it has to be loud and persistent.

7. loud and persistant has been done
The WHOLE WORLD protested Iraq BEFORE the war.Yet that didn't change Hillary's and many other warped minds up on that dunghill did it? What will they hear? What will it take? Remember they are the ones refusing to listen to the people.. and we have a constitutional duty to remove a corrupted government and if they won't go peacefully..Well..You know the options are rapidly narrowing.,
