Okay folks, here we go......2012 Presidential Race. Now I know alot of you come here for the sports (and maybe the softcore porn), but I think its time we decided broaden our scope of conversation to things that matters Monday-Sunday.....politics. Yeah, its boring, but so is women's basketball/soccer/billards/tennis and cheerleading, but that doesn't stop ESPN from dedicating 20% of its time to it showing that crap. So in the spirit of Title 9 and ESPN's early/mid-afternoon broadcast......let's get to politikin'.
Now there's no use ranting about the Tea Party, and how Obama is turning our country into a semi-communist/fully-socialist nanny-state (Glenn Beck's got that part covered). Nor would it be to rant about how "the party of NO" (Republicans) are killing the middle-class with their "tax cuts for the rich" and "bail-outs for Wall Street", corporate jet owners, blah, blah, blah. You want to hear that shit, turn on MSNBC and get your fill. Nope, lets talk about solutions, lets talk about elections. I mean if 30 million people vote/tune in to Fox to watch a smacked out Steven Tyler give singing lesson to Adam Lambert, then surely we can give a little love and attention to the 2012 Presidential election.
Having said that (Larry David-Curb your Enthusiam).....lets look at weak field of candidates the Republicans have to offer. Better yet....lets not. Cause, seriously, could this field be any lamer?? I've seen better line-ups in a Pittsburg Pirates program (say that 5 times fast). Herman Cain? Thanks for trying. Rick Santorum? Who? Ron Paul? Dude was born during the depression (the real one.) Michelle Bachman? Anyone who's ever worked for a woman....nuff said. And finally, Mitt Romney? The worlds only talking Brooks Brothers mannequin. Shit, I'd join Al Queda if these deadbeats were running the country. Which brings me to my point.....who the fuck is going to run against Obama???
I mean, I'm not an Obama fan, but you got to give it to the guy, he's pretty fucking cool. I mean, you listen to how the Bin Laden situation went down, and it was like watching an episode of 24 (the good ones, with the black guy as President). He walks cool, plays basketball, hangs out w/ rappers.....shit if he were'nt running the country in the ground, I might vote for the guy. Having said that (Larry David again, P.S. if you haven't watch Curb Your Enthusiam, what the fuck are you watching for laughs)....I think the best possible candidate we have to go to, isn't running.
Let me break it down.
6'2 265 lbs, from New Jersey, conservative, thinks government is the problem, and will tell you to GFY faster than Paulie-D on a five Jager-bomber club night. His name is Chris Christie and he's a fucking rockstar for people like me who follow politics like burnouts follow the Grateful Dead (does that still happen?). He's completely turned New Jersey from a nanny-state that relied on govt employees and unions in less than 2 years. He's not afraid to speak his mind, and when he does, its like Ronald Reagan and Tony Soprano had a love-child. The only problem.....dude keeps insisting he's not running in 2012. What the fuck? Either he's a bigger tease than pre-Federline Brittany Spears, or dude is waiting for 2016. I mean, I'm all about building up anticipation, which I hope that is what he's doing, but for Christ sakes man, we need a fucking candidate. Cause I don't think I can handle another McCain/Palin implosion.
A great blog just got better
ReplyDeleteI'm not that big into getting into politics and I don't know who this is writing this piece, but I must say, this was a well written post. Thanks for adding to the blog. Although, the soft core porn still reigns supreme.
