ARGHHHHHH!
I need to vent.
As a warning to my readers I am going to use today's blog to purge my disappointment in last night's election results.
The Massachusett's state governor's election results is as followed:
Democrat Deval Patrick led 49% of votes over Republican Charlie Baker's 42% of the votes.
Independant Tim Cahill sucked 8% of votes which, I believe, from Charlie Baker.
The day before the election I actually recieved a call from Cahill's campaign to vote for him. I told him what I thought.
First of all, I asked the caller why he is calling me since I am a registered Republican. Cahill is sucking the voters from Baker which makes him a spoiler for Deval. I wouldn't vote for Cahill because he supports and would push for casinos in Massachusetts.
As a result, Deval got re-elected, in which, I absolutely can not comprehend.
Seeing his snotty smiling face as the victor gives me the same sick feeling in my stomach as looking down in a full porta-potty.
He reminds of those shitty lazy bastards you got stuck with doing a 'group project' in grade school. He was the kid who sat on his ass, reading comic books, bossing you around while you did all the work, and then claimed all the credit if you got an "A". If you got a "D", he would put all the blame on you without so much as lifted a finger contributing to the project's final results.
He's a parasite.
This entire election was obnoxious not only across Massachusetts but throughout the whole country.
We were bombarded by nasty negative ads.
Governor "Moonbeam" Jerry Brown of California called highly qualified opponent ebay executive Meg Whitman a "whore".
Are you kidding me?!?!
And people re-elected that ASS-HAT spewing that degrading sexist insult!?!?!?!
Would he have gotten away with a racist slur if she were a man of color?
Or are people OK with degrading remarks towards women?
It is a bloody disgrace.
Thank God the election is over even though none of the people I voted for got elected.
The same goes with the referendum questions.The mentality is skewed. People actually voted to keep the 6.5% sale tax.(!?)
Sometimes I feel like I am the only one not blocking out the world listening to an Ipod. I don't walk blindly texting on a blackberry impervious to my surroundings. AND, I have refused to drink the group kool-aid.
ARGHHHHHHH!
OK ,I feel better now getting that off my chest...
Well, at least, until I read today's daily news.
Gov Jerry Brown did not call his opponent a “whore”; a campaign staffer did on a private phone call. He did apologize for that remark from staffer. As for the tax question it would have lowered the tax rate to 3 percent from 6.25 percent, if the question was for the tax rate to go down to the oringal 5 percent it more than likely would have passed. From the Monty Python movie Life of Brian when asked what have the Romans ever done for us; quite a few things actually.
ReplyDeleteReg: All right, but apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
Attendee: Brought peace?
Reg: Oh, peace - shut up!
Reg: There is not one of us who would not gladly suffer death to rid this country of the Romans once and for all.
Dissenter: Uh, well, one.
Reg: Oh, yeah, yeah, there's one. But otherwise, we're solid.
Say goodbye to a lot of government services we take for granted if that question passed.
Hmmmm.. interesting argument.
ReplyDeleteAs Howie Carr says, (in a whinning mock voice)"It's for the chiiiildren!"
Funny though, when the tax rate went up a bunch of teachers were laid off, regardless.
Politicians always seem to use that argument when they want to raise taxes threatening services whereas the state government is gutted with governmental hacks in redundant administrative positions.
