Politics, not my own.
Fucking racist cunts.
On the bright side, it's looking as if Obama's going to win.
Yes, I'm Canadian - why do I care?
Because the Conservative Government (Fuckers!) traditionally follows where the US goes.
Because American policies influence American media & culture, which permeates Canada.
Because war is bad.
Because racism is worse.
Related sidenote: I watch and love NCIS. It is a very well-crafted show. It has strong, likable female characters. It has Abby. It has Tony/Gibbs.
But every time they take advantage of (or threaten to take advantage of) the patriot act to get a suspect to confess or lock up a criminal they can't convict, I am sick to my stomach.

I wish I'd gotten one of those fliers or knew who sent them. XD I could send that person a thank-you note that says, "I voted Obama and it was all thanks to YOU and YOUR FLIER. :D FIGHT ON!"
Seriously though, what the hell does race even matter? What happened to political stances and such that actually MATTER? It kinda makes me ill to think a lot of our population is just that closed-minded.
A young guy at my work told me his dad voted McCain FOR him on his ballot and wouldn't let him change it even though he supports Obama. (Actually, his own explanation for opposing McCain was: "*points to himself* Hello, HO~MO." XD)
And he's not even going to challenge his dad, even though what his dad did was TOTALLY ILLEGAL. I was rather outraged. Still am, actually. He said he didn't want to rock the boat, and made the excuse that Arizona's a red state anyway and McCain is going to win the votes here... STILL. I'm in Arizona and I voted Obama! Every little vote COUNTS. You don't know for sure who's winning a state until all the votes are counted. >(
Anywho. That's my little rant. XD I hope this time we get an actually good President.

That . . . would be the most awesome thing ever.
