Hunter, What say you Old Man!

I am trying my best not to keep ranting Politically...
But I must say these Republican people may be leaving me no other choice.
I am not speaking of voters, mind you. But those in charge, and those thinking...delusionally, that they should be.

And my thoughts veer of track and the sentences leave the paragraphs they were thinking they might form, and I find myself contemplating what Hunter Thompson would say.

About all THIS.

I remember hearing the news he had decided to change the game on us and exit early. I was hardly suprised, but so sad. A few years later Kurt Vonnegut fell down, and never really got back up and he left us too. I tend to think I model my inner lunatic after the good Doc, and my inner humanist after Kurt. I've been a little off for quite sometime now. * Bruce Springsteen, don't get any friggin ideas!

But back to Hunter-

Karl Rove is the last of the Nixon assholes. And he has groomed a whole new generation of clones. They have apparently taken the helm of McCains campaign. Everytime I see Sarah Palin I feel vomit coming. When she speaks I can smell my hair on fire. She race baits. She peddles and repeddles and reinvents whatever miniscule crap they can hand feed the scared white people. Don't talk about the economy! Our country is on the verge of huge financial collapse. Please, someone call Paul Krugman and Bob Raish, not Greenspan or Paulson! We have the deregulation King running. And Princess AbuseO'Power as his Second in Commandthisclose. Do we need more abuse of executive Power? Really?!

John McCain, stop saying "my friends." You vote against the intersts of the middle class, and against the interests of veterans. Who are your friends? People like Cindy. Period. The "5 Million" or more people. Not us. No, no Johnny. Not us. We werent born into your world of priviledge. Sure, we didnt get shot down as a POW, but thats the only honorable thing you've really done. And you werent that good at it. (Its out there. Do the research)

It has now come out that while wiretapping, government officials were listening to private citizens having phone sex. No, no terrorists, private citizens like you and me.

I think Hunter would be nuts. I think he would be writing. I think he would be calling for Revolution.

I know what the Bush Doctrine is, because I read Hunter S Thompson.



I think I have found my polarizing force in Politics, and she's the one standing next to the old man, with the updo and the Tina Fey glasses. I understand Hunter more than I ever did before. I am angry. I am spitting fire mad. I want my country back, and I am not willing to sacrifice progress for racism, war and extreme wealth in the guise of capitalism.

I'm not saying Obama is perfect. I'm saying we deserve better. We deserve a change.
