Okay so y'all were probably thinking, "When the hell is Kat gonna get
political?" Well its here! We have less than 20 days before we choose
the next person to head up our country. So over the next 20 days, I am
committed to making sure you make the "informed" decision rather than
just an ideology decision. With that said..
I was watching the 3rd
and final presidential debate last night. You know the one I speak of.
The one where Joe the plumber became famous! Oh yeah Joe I'm talking to
you! Why couldn't it have been Bob? Bob is way cooler than Joe! Or even
Kat! Why couldn't have John McCain been talking to me!?
Anyhoo, so
after about 45 minutes of those two blowing hot air, I had an epiphany!
It was a few days in the making but it finally came to a head last
night. One of the concerns of our great country is the environment. (heh
heh, had ya fool, thought I was going to say economy. That's for
another post...) Supposedly these presidential candidates want clean
energy. They want clean water. They want to combat climate change. I say
its just LIP SERVICE!!! You say of course Kat its lip service. They say
what we want to hear and then we vote for them. Then we get
disappointed after 4 years and when its time for them to run
again.....they tell us this sob story of how the previous administration
left everything in such shambles and disarray that it took them 4 years
to sift through it. Now vote for me again & I can really get
stuff done. We blindly agree to this. (Its rare for an incumbent to not
win re-election) Then they spend the next 4 years trying to shove
something through Congress as a reminder of their legacy. Then its time
for another election and we'll still trying to find that candidate that
will fight for our environment. The next time you see McCain or Obama up
on the television spewing their verbal diarrhea about how they will
fight for our environment, to protect our natural resources, TO HELP
FIGHT GLOBAL WARMING.....I say think about this....
When you go to
your mailbox, do you get fliers & pamphlets from the
presidential candidates or the political parties of said candidates?
When you drive by their regional campaign headquarters, how many cars do
you see there? How many people? Are the lights on? When you walk
through your neighborhood, how many yard signs do you see backing a
specific candidate?
You say yeah Kat, so what?!?!! SO WHAT??!?!!
How many trees had to come down to mail out those fliers? How much gas
did those people have to guzzle to drive to the regional HQ? Are those
cars "alternative" energy cars? What do you think those yard signs are
made of? And what about the constant speeches
Presidential
candidates are some of the most wasteful creatures I've ever
encountered. By the end of their term as president they want to leave
their mark on our country. I say they already did during their
campaigns! They cut down our trees for their pamphlets. They used
foreign oil to gas their cars, planes and buses! The next time a
candidate says he/she wants to fight global warming, tell them to SHUT
UP!!! Their constant rhetoric has expelled more hot air into our
atmosphere than LA traffic! If your presidential candidate wants to
fight for our environment I say give me a candidate that won't cut down
trees to mail pamphlets & fliers telling me crap I already can
get from CNN.com. Quit using that foreign oil you so desperately want to
be independent from and use alternative energy sources to get to your
constituents. And quit having these stupid debates and speeches. Every
time you open your mouth, our Earth gets hotter!
My name is Kat and I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE!!
So
what political party am I? I'm unaffiliated. What are my political
views? I view all & choose what I think is truthful. Who am I
voting for in November? Probably the candidate that I got the least
amount of mail from....
