Vote or Die!!!

[GonzoStyle]

I agree with Galt on the moore and his supporters observation, it won't be strictly them either who will try to disrupt things though. I also couldn't agree more on the reactionary tendancies many people today have. People are so easily swayed it's frightening, like sheep. One minute they support bush or kerry, next minute they support someone else and its never on the most important aspects and thats their policies, views and stances on important issues. They are swayed by people like Michael Moore and their documentaries, they are swayed by what celebrity is supporting who, they are swayed by what some commentator says or the most ridiculous thing is when they are swayed by how one of the candidates "Acts".

I have seen many pieces on the news and other programs where they poll people and ask them why they are voting for whoever. I have heard so many people say "I'm voting for Bush cause I saw kerry speak and he wasn't funny" or something to that nature... when the fuck did the president have to be funny? what the fuck is this the presidential election or last comic standing?

Now I in no way think that the michael moore documentaries, the bill maher shows, the MTV stuff shouldn't be done or have an influence on the voters. BUT it should not so adversly change your opinion that you go and change your mind, you should have known in t he first place why you chose a candidate and these commentators should only make your choice more valid to you.

Anyone who saw farenheit 9/11 and is voting against Bush cause of that should not vote cause nothing in the documentary was mind blowing, it was basically stuff people knew. Ofcourse there was a lot of info in it and percise examples but it wasn't groundbreaking.

But people are unfortunatly so easily swayed but the worst offenders are people who vote based on the funny angle or the personal angle. People who say shit like "well bush seems like a cool guy who you could have a beer with"... You're not gonna have beer with Dubya, I don't care if the president if funny or cool, his job is to be well informed, unbiased and a leader, not a frat guy.

I do agree that the recruitment stuff is done by a lot of people to feed their egos, get in the spotlight or seem like they made a difference. The fact is that if you weren't gonna vote, you shouldn't be persuaded to cause its probably a good idea that you don't. If you were too lazy to register or maybe just didnt have the time and you did cause there was a rally then maybe its a good thing and you should vote. The rally's are fine but show up cause you care and are well informed and not cause someones gonna sing a song or you'll be on TV.
