The Presidential "Race"

I usually try to refrain from commenting on POTUS issues. It is too open ended, and people tend to get all inflamed and cranky. However, some current things cropping up are just aggravating me to no end. One of the issues that is currently getting my boxers in a knot is Race.

Now granted, the race of the candidate may be important to a few unenlightened groups or individuals who collectively exhibit the IQ of a piece of bread, but for most rational adults, I don't think it really matters that much. The fact that the media and other groups continue to assume that race is an issue, and continue to bring it to the forefront, is whats really to blame. I think if people would shut the hell up about the race issue, that it would quietly go away.

But we can't have that now can we? Oh Dear God No! I mean, if race were no longer an issue, then so many groups and people who make their MONEY from racial issues would be out of a JOB! How horrifying! (and you can draw your own conclusions as to which groups and individuals profit the most from racial issues)

I mean, if race were no longer an issue, these people might, GASP, have to get real jobs and earn their money! They might even lose their media spotlight, which could diminish their own political aspirations! And that will just not do! Theres PROFIT in racism, and as long as theres money to be made, theres people who will exploit race (in the interest of peace don't you know) in order to reap those profits.

Now of course there are groups and individuals to whom race does matter, but are they really worth mentioning?

What if the race of a candidate had NOTHING to do with it? What if it was instead that they are a confirmed liar, or a hypocrite on so many things that have come out of their mouths? Do some research into all 3 viable candidates. Look at speeches they have made, and things they have said, and the way they have voted on issues over the years.

Do a little research and see where they have outright lied about things. The lists of outright falsehoods available with just a tiny bit of research are staggering. If you honestly do a little work, you can see who is the most deceitful candidate. Who is the one who tells the most outright lies, or has the most things to hide? Who is the most hypocritical? Who has flip-flopped more than a trained seal? Who promises things that it is IMPOSSIBLE for a POTUS, according to the CONSTITUTION to even accomplish? How many have read the Constitution and actually know what it is a POTUS can and cannot do?

I know its a stretch to think anyone will actually do any in-depth research on their own, rather than being spoon-fed their ideas by THE MEDIA and its IDIOT BOX. People for the most part, are lazy, and prefer to be led around by the nose it seems. It takes all the pressure off. Its so much easier than voting based on your OWN research, then having to own up to your mistake if the person you voted for ends up being a turd. Sooo much easier to get your voting ideas from somewhere else, and blame them for lying to you if your candidate turns out not so great.

If more people would actually take the time to do some simple research, we would actually have informed voters, who would vote based on real issues, not on some fairy-tale about what President X is going to do for you, told to you by your Idiot Box.

There are links to the Constitution, and other Historical US documents on the right. You can read through them and they will tell you what a President's Powers are. Anything else they promise you is just like putting lipstick on a pig.....

Thats All For Now.....
