Political ads suck
I saw an ad today for a woman running for Congress. The first line of the ad was:
"Her grandfather was a steelworker."
What in the hell does that have to do with her representing me in Congress? How does her grandfather's occupation make her a better leader? There was a President named Buchanan. That's my last name, too. Maybe I should run in 2008. Well, actually aside from a few skeletons in my closet, I think I'd make a damn good president, however, carrying the same last name as a previous president does not qualify me as a candidate.
Then there was the ad for the guy running for governor that started out with a shot of the bible and claims that God has lot to do with the way he'll run the state. If, in fact, he is hearing the voice of God, I'm a little worried about his mental stability. I do believe that God does occasionally speak to us little people, but most of those who hear his voice are put on Lithium quickly. And with good reason.
Other selling points in this ad include:
Church attendance - You know, some of the nastiest people I've ever met, go to church every Sunday. And that's why I don't attend. The churches are filled with nasty-ass people.
Belief in marriage between a man and a woman - Which is good, because he is in fact, married to a woman. But men who doth protest too much against marriage are only doing so to mask their own latent homosexuality.
Belief in the sanctity of life - Great! But instead of fighting against a woman's right to choose, why don't we focus on stiffer sentences on those who abuse or molest children? And if you want to prevent abortions, a good way to start is educating kids about birth control. Trying to enforce abstinence has worked since... well, let's face it. It's never worked.
Somewhere in my ranting I lost my point about the governor dude. Don't we practice separation of church and state in this country? Like, wasn't that the entire point of America? So how can you tell me you're the best person for the job when you can't even adhere to the spirit of the Constitution? I'd vote for a used car salesperson before I voted for you. That's saying a lot because I really hate salespeople.
No wonder this country is going to hell in a handbasket.
THE SUPREME WISDOM OF THE QUEENOSHEBA
Oprah Winfrey in 2008. She's smart, she knows how to run big enterprises successfully and she admits when she's wrong. In short, she's a woman and that's who we need to straighten this mess out.
