Last presidential election one small part in one song really expressed my attitude about the election:
"More for Gore or the son of a drug lord
None of the above f*ck it cut the cord"
-"Guerrilla Radio", Rage Against the Machine
I think I heard the song (and saw the video) that expresses my attitude about this election:
"They tell us 'No,' we say 'Yeah;' they tell us 'Stop,' we say 'Go.' Rebel with a rebel yell, raise hell – we gon’ let ‘em know. Stomp, push, shove, mush – f*ck Bush. Until they bring our troops home!"
-"Mosh", Eminem
So, looking back to 2000, I was wrong about Gore and Bush being the same. I still voted for Gore, but it was really a vote of fear. This year I am voting for Kerry, not just because he isn't Bush, but also because he will do a better job with this country. He will make this country safe and prosperous in a way Bush could never do. It is not just that Bush tried his best and failed, he as actively worked to make this country a worse place.
That is is enough of my anti-Bush rant. To really get to the point of "Mosh" and it's video, get the hell out there and vote.
Do you live in Oregon? Then send in your ballot NOW. It will save you the hassle of being called and visited by the campaigns. Haven't recieved your ballot in the mail. Then call the state elections office and find out what happened. Go to the office and fill out a replacement ballot if you need to.
Don't live in Oregon? Then make sure you know where you polling place is. Then get yourself there on election day. Take some time off of work, in most states you have the right to take time off work and get paid while you vote. Don't let anyone tell you that you can't vote. If you aren't on the voter roles, fill out a provisional ballot(PDF).
All in all, do what the banner to the right says: VOTE F*CKER!
