No more nights grinding my teeth and looking for something I can throw at the TV when that bastard lies. Or when the other one holds back the zings because he wants to appear like the guy who plays fair when everybody knows that, considering all the lies and shit flying around, fairplay is long dead; or, at the most fairplay is how one loses honorably.
No more articles arguing not only over what the facts are but who are the people you can actually believe when they outline the facts. If anything, I've learned out that not only is the truth frighteningly dependent on interpretation and technicality but economics is much more of an art than a science seeing as according to various minds and measures Barack Obama is either the biggest spendthrift or most gluttonous cash pig in the history of American presidents.
No more minutes - hell, maybe even hours - wasted on Facebook debates with people I don't even know in most cases, much less people I haven't seen in 5 or 10 years.
Thank fucking God. The die is cast, I should think. That is, if you haven't done enough research to answer in a well-backed statement why you're voting for one of the candidates ("He has a history of corporate success and will help the job-creators who will then turn around and help everybody else." "He will help the most people improve their quality of life and the lives of their children while focusing on putting in place an infrastructure that will hopefully extend America's world supremacy at least a little past the impending twilight.") you'll probably just be voting based on what your parents told you growing up so this whole thing is pointless.
But if you want one last refresher before you make your decision, here's a wrap-up of all the Obama-Romma articles on everything from explaining our nation's economy to showing what they wanna do with health care, how they look on foreign policy, and what each man has actually accomplished over his life.
Week 1: Republican and Democratic National Convention Wrap-ups
Week 2: Foreign Policy
Week 3: American Economic Background
Week 4: Economic Present: Where We Are and What Each Man Stands For
Week 5: A Rant on the Sordidness of Current American Politics
Week 6: The Candidates' Track Records and Accomplishments
Week 7: Health Care By the Numbers, Tax Overview, and the Only Blurb About their Stances on the Environment
So there it is, in case you missed it the first time. A nice collection of a few points you should know and understand in case you're still undecided - or at least want to pretend like you did some research before you just vote for whoever your dad told you to.
