A Vietnamese friend of mine sent me a few pictures, this was a good one.
Its funny how American Politics work... i mean in your head. Less then two years ago i swore off US Politics as unjust and immoral. Then along comes someone who gets you interested again, gives you some hope and BAM!! your back in it. It looks like ol' Ned is going to do it, taking a stand against the war and leading in the polls.
GO NED! I dont even really like supporting the Democrats that much as they are not really a "Leftist" party they are more of a center right party, i mean only some of them advocate Universal Healthcare, around the world this is standard, here its some crazy liberal thing they do in Canada. And on war, most like it, just look at Hillary, everytime i hear her talk she is advocating some sort of violence against an enemy, maybe i just keep catching her at the wrong times. But until the Green Revolution comes and we get a true multi-party democracy here in the US of A, the DEM's are the best we got.
Sometimes the Corpocracy gets me down... but i still like to believe that this country is "Of, For, and By the People."
true, where's my green party?
Here is something i found out yesterday. A few days back some people came to my work place and had a petition sighning in support of Joe Lieberman. I didnt think much of it, the guy knows he's on the ropes and is pulling out all the stops to stay on the Democratic ticket. But then i ran into a buddy of mine, who also happens to be a Republican Delegate(i dont know what that means, but he has handled the campaignes for people and votes for strategy and stuff), he had questioned these people and mentioned he was a Republican, then they said "Oh we are Republicans too." He went off on them, "What are Republicans doing meddling in Democrats politics!" Well the whole thing just furthurs my belief that old Joe has turned to the dark side. And i was chatting with the one girl awhile back... if you put a black cloak on the guy and had some green lightning coming from his finger tips who would he look like? Use the Force.
interesting stuff. i just got a call from a ned lamont campaign guy. i didnt talk to him long because i'm doing work from home today. i kind of resent the whole tele-campaigning thing, but i guess when you're going against someone who's been a senator for so long you really need to get your stuff out there.
tomorrow should be interesting.
