I thought this jackass said he was going to quit. I can't believe anyone pays him for his whining. I Am Finished with this Damned Election Forget it. I quit. I absolutely freaking quit. As of 2:08 p.m. on Tuesday November 14, I no longer give one tinker's damn about who wins this nauseating farce of an election. I will not watch. I will not read. I will not care. I am through. Finito. Done. Why should I possibly care? Let's review all the reasons I shouldn't care, shall we?: 1. Gore and Bush both suck. They and their minions have acted terribly throughout this. Gore comes out Thursday threatening lawsuits. Bush poo-poohs lawsuits BECAUSE HE TRUSTS PEOPLE, and then turns tail and charges into a FEDERAL COURTROOM to stop a perfectly legal vote count. Hypocrites, frauds, thieves, shills, spinners, wheedlers, liars, screamers...on both sides there are no good guys. 2. Florida sucks. Florida is the best argument I have ever heard for global warming. Sink that swamp forever. 3. The judge who decided to uphold the 5pm drop-dead time for ending and certifying the vote count has confused this situation possibly beyond repair. There was a good solid argument on both sides regarding whether or not to extend that deadline; aspects of the law could be argued in either direction. A solid decision was needed. And what happens? The judge spits the bit, refuses to take a solid stand, plays it both ways and thereby accomplished absolutely NOTHING. What did he do? Follow me here: the judge decided that the vote count would end at 5pm BUT counties can add supplemental vote counts after the deadline BUT the Secretary of State can disavow those supplemental counts if she chooses BUT she cannot do so "arbitrarily" BUT those vote counts will be totally incomplete and thereby innacurate and useless SO that is reason to dismiss them out of hand BUT a Federal judge has said the count should be done BUT that seems to have been overturned SO both Gore and some counties will appeal this totally confusing decision WHICH MEANS THIS FARCE WILL NEVER END, EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER. This peabrained weak-kneed cowardly lion of a judge has opened the door to limitless litigation. 4. It doesn't matter who wins. The country is polarized, the Congress is totally split, no legislation beyond congressional raises will pass. Don't worry about Roe v. Wade. FORGET the Supreme Court - any nominee who doesn't walk on water or raise the dead will get Borked, depend on it. Nothing is gonna happen in the next four years unless somebody drops a nuke on us...which frankly is something I might welcome, as long as they nuke Florida, Texas, Tennessee or Washington DC. 5. Ralph Nader sucks. Not only did he skew this election with his hubris-driven campaign (do as I say, America, and do it now, or I'll mess everything up!), but he destroyed any remote chance that a third party candidate will EVER be President. Nader got 90,000+ votes in spot-'o-hell Florida, and that is more than the difference. Do you think anyone will vote third party and risk something like this ever happening again? DOUBT IT. We're stuck with the Republicans and the Democrats, kids, forever and ever, amen. MY ADVICE TO ALBERT GORE IS TO CONCEDE NOW!!! BE THE BIG MAN, BE THE HERO, QUIT THE RACE AND SHARPEN YOUR CLAWS FOR 2004. YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE PRESIDENT NOW. WHOEVER IS PRESIDENT WILL BE 'INSTANT LOSER'. WALK THE HELL AWAY AND SAVE US ALL FROM THE PRESIDENTIAL-ELECTION VERSION OF THE O.J. SIMPSON TRIAL. Do not ask me about this race. Do not email me, stop me in the hall or in the street. Do not speak to me of this election. Just tell me when it's over. I quit.

Decide which God to serve.... >>Americans are now subject to a government that will terrorize them in order to further whatever agenda happens to present itself at the moment. More often than not, that agenda is about protecting the Bush administration from criticism about the catastrophe that was their preparedness for 9/11. The administration and its security apparatus was warned, repeatedly and in detail, by foreign intelligence services about an impending stateside attack. They failed to act, and now scare Americans into forgetting to ask the hard questions about this. There is no moral clarity here, but only a base instinct for self preservation that shames us all. The loss of our moral clarity has left us in such dire straits that we do not even need a fear-mongering government to slap us into line. On far too many occasions of late, we do this to ourselves in the name of 'patriotism.'>> Assigning - ie. claiming, blaming and shaming - Bush with this crap is not the answer. There's only ONE (1) source of truth and that is our one Lord God in heaven others may call different things but who I personally know and proclaim as Jesus Christ Lord. The love of or Lord is FREE and unconditional. The love of our Lord is full of infinite mercy and forgiveness. The love of our Lord is what heals and mends this disconnected claim, blame and shame egoic control-distrust insanity and madness which emmanates from the pit of hell itself. It's NOT Bush! It's NOT Clinton!! It's not democrats against republicans! All this is part of the same charade-fan dance which is a pack of lies dressed up as "the truth" trying to claim, blame and shame others into this spiritually dark matrix of extortion which is nothing more than the black hole matrix which fuels and drives HELL. Every individual has to decide which God to serve: 1) The God of man and this world which is the ONE (1) source of evil fueling all this madness compelling us into more of the same slavery; or 2)the ONE (1) God which is the source of all energy, light and love and who is full of infinite mercy and forgiveness and only compells us to embrace and share more and more of his pure love and freedom. It's a simple choice between God and man. If you believe "rghts and freedoms" come from man then you are worshipping the God of this world. If you believe "rights and freedoms" originate with our Lord who loves us unconditiuonally and is full of mercy then you are worshipping our Father in heaven. 119293!!
