You both sold me out with your votes for the googillion-dollar bailout, and you both want my vote. These things don’t go together, and I’m confused.
Oh, wait. It is easy to decide who to sell out and who to bail out.
Sell out: A taxpayer with one measly vote.
Bail out: Friends in high places with bags o’ cash, like, oh … AIG.
Sen. McCain, you got $43,275 from AIG employees and $7,634,378 from the securities and investment industry.
Sen. Obama, you got $88,099 from AIG employees and $10,847,652 from the securities and investment industry.
And you’re looking out for … me?
Umm, OK.
And those debates. Are you kidding me? We’ve got troops dying in two wars that neither of you plan to end, even though the American public told you loudly and clearly two years ago that’s what it wanted. We’ve got people losing their jobs, their homes, their retirement savings. We, as a country, are broke, thanks to failed policies both of you supported. And this is the best you can do?
Umm, OK.
Sen. Obama, would you please call your Hollywood friends? The ones who patronize average Americans with reverse psychology because, you know, average Americans are stupid like that. The ones who made this:
Know what I say to them? Shut up. Give me a viable candidate, and I’ll vote. Until then? Shut it. Well, you go ahead and tell Leo he can come over here and lick my face … then I might think about voting for him. Or … maybe I’ll just let him lick my face.
C’mon, Senators. Level with me. Neither one of you wants or needs my itty-bitty vote. The first one who stands up and publicly admits that? Gets my vote.

Wow, you sound as frustrated as I am!!
This election would be easier if I was a lemming in either party, but I’m not.

Although, I do know how I’m voting (unless something totally wacko happens in the next 3 weeks)….neither candidate is my ideal.
