Now you know how much I give a shat.

Are we talkin about Obama or Tupac? either way I'm not familiar with that one.. time to go play with google..

I heard this morning on NPR that the super delegates will end up being the ones to decide between Obama and Clinton. That at this point, the primaries won't be enough.

This could be bad for the Democratic party and the November election.

Now they are talking about Michigan and Florida having do over elections.

What a mess.

Michigan and Florida should have do overs.

What also needs to be done is to get rid of this "open" primary system. If you don't belong to the party than you do not belong in the primary.

Oh yeah, get rid of state funding for primaries too.

A pic from headlines about Mississippi's voting today:


5 people, 2 voting machines, 1 reporter taking pics.

So....I guess they don't have secret balloting there, eh?

Call me old fashioned, but I don't think I'd be comfortable with those voting machines and computers and the like.

I guess it's because I've spent the last decade and a bit just putting an x beside the candidate of choice's name.

Who is more likely to see the problems for what they are? A newbie with a fresh perspective or an entrenched veteran that owes favors, has favors owed, and is likely to lose a lot in such a shakeup?

"I heard this morning on NPR that the super delegates will end up being the ones to decide between Obama and Clinton. That at this point, the primaries won't be enough."

I can pretty confidently say that the super delegates will NOT decide this election, they will give their support to whoever is winning for the simple fact that if they didn't it would destroy the democratic party.

Your guess.

It's about time, in this country, that we realize that the person (or people) we elect to run our government are our employees.

If a contractor came into your house to redo your kitchen would you want him to design what he wanted or what you wanted? Would you want him to say "f**k the budget, this is what is best for you".

This is not a new kitchen installation. This is what we will leave our descendants, our offspring. This is what we will have to live with for 4 years (minimum).

Remember too that whoever we elect this term cannot undo the damage of the previous 7 (ultimately 8) years. Change will not actually happen anytime soon, it won't no matter what your candidate tells you. We will be suffering our inaction for some time.

I blame us. I blame the US citizens. Yeah, I signed petitions, I wrote my congressman, I protested. I was a voice among thousands. I should have been a voice among 300 million. Did I do enough, apparently not. I didn't inspire my friends to fight, they were too worried about their job or their mortgage or their medical bills, who can blame them?

I don't care who you vote for, but vote. Vote as if your life depends on it.

It does.

And then don't sit back and take it. Make those people accountable. MAKE THEM REMEMBER THEIR PROMISES. Don't let your rights be degraded further, don't let someone tell you what is best for your tax dollars if you don't agree and don't let them tell you it's all ok if your gut is telling you it isn't. You're smart enough to know this s**t. Now fight for it.
