8 Days to go...
The official countdown begins.
I wish I took some pictures today, sorry, been too busy to remember little things like bringing along my camera, taking out my contacts at night, eating - you know, little things like that.
Holy good God, we let weapons of mass destruction slip through our hands. Is anybody surprised?
I think Jon Stewart had it right - "WHAT DON'T I GET?"
I mean, I've been talking to seriously undecided voters and they list their top priorities as security and health care. They clearly don't like George enough to be in his camp, but if you list health care as your second most important issue, then are you kidding me? I mean, even on the war on terror, come on. Let's be clear here, people, Osama attacked us, not Saddam. We went in to Iraq for weapons of mass destruction but the first thing we secure is the oil fields and then let the non-hidden weapons of mass destruction slip through our fingers. We have lost more than a thousand of our sons and daughters and more than 3,000 are amputated, more than 5,000 wounded. We then find out there was no credible link between Saddam and Osama.
I know Saddam was a threat, but doesn't Iran and North Korea already have nukes ready and are beginning to point them at us?
That's just the terror war. Take it from someone who was there on 9/11, saw it firsthand, lived in it afterwards - I do not want us to continue to perpetuate hate in the world.
Healthcare? What healthcare? I can't understand how labor folks who list jobs as their first concern are voting for Bush, hell, I can't understand rank-and-file members even voting for him in the first place. For the Christ, people?
Honestly, what don't I get?

I don't get it either!
There are a couple of faculty members who are still voting for Bush and it drives me crazy! Regardless of how often they bitch about No Child Left Behind... they still want to vote for him. I've started some trouble because I'm not afraid to bring up the topic in the faculty room... I guess it's never been done before. However, I might have changed a few minds. The few Bush supporters at my school bring up the fact they want to keep their taxes (regardless of the debt it creates that will burden their kids) in addition to feeling more safe at home with Bush. I'm totally lost on these sorry ass reasons. I can think of two staff members that I really want to bitch slap because they are so wrong and stubborn about voting for Bush. I think they just like the attention and have to vote for him because their husbands make over 200,000.... it's the only conclusion I can get to... I might bring it up in their face on Nov. 1 if I get really mad Election Eve.
Keep up the good fight!
I love you and think of you often!
Michael
