THE FATE OF A NATION IN THE BALANCE

Okay, I know, you don't have to tell me. It's been a long, long, long time since I've actually had the incentive to actually blog again. So here I am, on the eve of the election of our lifetime, so I feel it necessary to to pipe in, and give you MY choice and some other happenings going on in my sad sad world.

So the topics are as follows. . . .the election, the Red Sox, and the hockey lock-out.

Okay, I'm going to give you who I voted first followed by my reasons. So are you ready???

My all important vote goes to

*drum roll pleeeeeaaaaaaseeeeeeeee*



So my all important vote goes to "W". I have many, many reasons. I started to gravitate towards Bush a few months back. What really put me over the top was seeing not only the national media, but even my local media completely trashing Bush. All of the unbalanced reporting, totally biased opinons and giving John Kerry a free ride on every topic did it to me, I'm soooooooooooooooooo disgusted by the coverage of the election in the last few months, I will probably NEVER watch CBS again, read the New York Times, and I have all but boycotted every other biased news outlet. So thanks liberal media for making a true NEO-CON!!!!

So here are the issues I voted on. . .

THE ECONOMY
Kerry tried and tried and tried to hammer at Bush for his failings on the economy. If you actually consider everything, it's a lot better than Kerry would lead people to believe. 6 months before Bush comes into office, the internet bubble bursts, and we end up with a recession. Add in a HUGE does of terrorism with the 9/11 attacks, and other dose of weather castrophes in Florida. Then consider the economy is still recovering and still growing and doing just fine. Yet if Kerry is elected, he wants to raise taxes and kill the economy. Simple. Why would I want to vote for someone who is going to increase my taxes and take even more money out of my pocket?

FOREIGN POLICY
This was by far the biggest reason I voted for Bush. The clincher was a report that said Kerry took a poll after seeing the Bin Laden video. What a fucking moron. This just shows me how spineless Kerry really is. He has since the beginning of the war flip-flopped like a fish at every turn. So then in the debates he says we need a "global test" before we go to war. Ummmmmmmm sure, you mena like we did in 1991 during the first Gulf War? Oh yeah, Kerry voted against that too. This guy doesn't have the balls to go after terrorists. He dosen't have the capabilities to be resolute in ending this war. The proof? Bin Laden taking the democartic talking points in his video. To me, this proves Bush is kicking his ASSSSSSSSS. He's on the run, he lives in caves, and the majority of his organization is in ruins. He practically endorsed KErry and figured Kerry would let up on the boot we have on this guys throat. Again, too many different directiosn for me. Kerry is a pussy when it comes to dealing with these animals abroad. Bush stood up and said, "We're coming to get you. We're going to dismantle your organization. You started this, now we're going to END it." He wasn't about to take any more shit and has proven his worth to me.

PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION
Unfortunately on this one there is no discussion possible. When you have amother at fullt erm and the baby is aborted, as a Catholic, I cannot condone this type of barbaric activity. Kerry voted time and again NOT to ban this. When I started arguing with some co-workers about this, they instantly jumped on me and yelled, "What about the safety of the mother? What happens then?'" Well, do you how many times that has happened? NONE, ZERO, ZILCH. A c-section can be done to save both, and Bush stands to protect the mother if inded her life is in danger.


So there you have it. My major reasons why I voted for Bush and why I'm a TOTAL conservative now. So all I have to say is that liberlaism is about to be extinguished and this is their last stand. So here is my last comment to liberals and demoRATS. . .



FUCK OFF!!!!!!


okay, so now that I have that all out of my system. . on to better news.

The Boston red Sox finally won the World Series. They rolled the Red Birds and won for the first time in 86 years. This was a pretty big thing I'm sure that will be overshadowed by the elections coming up. The ability to reverse this "curse" is a pretty big thing. If you're not familiar with the curse, click here.

Otherwise, even if you're not a baseball fan, this should put a smile on your face. ONE out away from elimination by the Yankees, they battled back from 3 games down (never done in the history of baseball!!) to beat the evil empire and then made quick work of the Cardinals.

So here's a few of my favorite pics from all of this. . .





I'll tell you this much too. I, for the past several years have HATED Pedro Martinez. Whatever the reasons were, I quickly forgot them as their incredible run started to gain momentum. I can now say I'm very proud of the entire team and congratulate them on the incredible display of emotion, determination and sheer gut that got them through. If ANY team deserves this, it's them. It took a lot of grit and forgetting wha tthe naysayers were spewing. If this doesn't put a smile on your face, then you need to check your pulse and make sure you're still alive.

Alright, now onto more heartache for me personally. I'm a HUGE hockey fan. I am your typical Minnesotah guy. Grew up playing hockey. Played through high school and dabbled a bit (soccer was my second love. I played soccer instead of hockey in college) during my years in college. This season brought a lot of hope to my team the Wild. However, when the owners locked the players out and then the players basically told them to go pound sand, it left a really bad taste in my mouth. So what's at stake? Players salaries. The owners want a cap, the players don't. So where's the compromise. Um yeah, THERE IS NONE. But don't take my word for it, read all about it here.

Anyways this is my picture for the day. It just shows how I feel about a lockout:





anyways,


LATE
