And we thought we’d never see prices this low again? All the talk about gas prices hitting the $5 mark here over the summer never happened! Amazing! What do you think this means about the economy?

Going crazy with this political madness? Blame game? Feeling a bit pissed off? Me too. This calls for us to step back, take a short break, and allow ourselves to laugh a bit!
I present to you:
Go ahead, it’s okay to laugh. Lower your blood pressure!

Many of you that know me assume I have voted in the past, because of how I can easily discuss politics and have a strong voice about certain issues.
The truth: I’ve never voted. Ever. For the very first time in my life, I registered to vote a few months ago. I was excited, but now I’m just exasperated. Now I remember why I didn’t really want to vote before. More than ever, I see so much bullshit flying around and it’s wasting my time!
I have to research things, just to see if the claim is bogus or honest so I can be sure I’m making the right decision when I go to the voting poll. I’m just extremely shocked at how twisted lies are being thrown around in all corners. I’m shocked at how Democrats are blaming Republicans, and Republicans are blaming Democrats.
What shocks me the most is this video that I’ve embedded here. It’s ten minutes long, so get yourself comfortable, and really watch at how good and compelling this person is blaming Obama and Democrats as if the Republicans all have a halo around their heads. Please! It shocks me how this person can distort so much information and isolate it all into Obama and the Democrats’ fault, when REALLY THE BLAME GOES ALL AROUND. Mortgage brokers, “mark to market” accounting rule, home buyers themselves, The Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan, Bush Administration AND the Clinton Administration, and so on! All economies are very complex, there cannot be one person to blame.
Here are some links to really see how crazy this video got out of hand and how you should not fall prey.
Who caused the economic crisis?
3 Former Executives at Fannie Mae are not advisors for Obama
(Factcheck.org ROCKS!)
Anyway, all of this bullshit is making me want to just forget about voting and just stick my head back in the sand until this is all over. But hell no. Let my blood pressure raise, FTW. I’m voting, damn it. Truth be told, both candidates aren’t that great. But, you know, we as Americans have a duty to vote for who we think would be better. We have no choice but to vote for who you think would at least be a bit better than the other for our future. Our future is at stake! The future is for us, Generation X, Y, and the babies that are being born this very second. All of us.
On a side note, please don’t vote for McCain ONLY because he was a prisoner of war. That’s a lousy reason. Sure, we can respect for the hell he went through, but doesn’t mean he can lead better. Many of us, including myself, have gone through hell and back.
And, please don’t vote for Obama just because he proclaims “Change.” Make sure you know exactly what changes he is talking about.
At the very least, please don’t go to the polls not knowing why you’re voting for that person. Don’t do it because someone told you to. Do your homework. PLEASE. You and I are at stake.
