OK…*THIS* Is My Final Post On The 2012 POTUS Trainwreck

I’ve been slowly changing the layout & site content here at HickPolitics over the past several months. I’m aware that the hundreds of thousands of daily hitters out there have been quite upset about this.

The inbox is unmanageable, the phone won’t stop ringing, and my fans in the MSM can’t stop talking about the upheavals at HickPolitics dot Com long enough to cover less important stuff like US Politics, bending over and taking it from Iran like a San Francisco man International Affairs, or the Global Economic Collapse.

Never MIND the conundrum my friends in the carbon wars are facing…that state of war those good folks out there find themselves fighting in whilst trying to knock a few degrees off the thermometer currently shoved firmly and deeply up the good Mother Earth’s arse.

I know my adoring fans… I know… but even though I’m listening, I’m disinclined to acquiesce to your request(s).

So, here we go… my last waste of time taking up high priced soon-to-be-eliminated-courtesy-of-SOPA-&-PIPA pixels.

I’m a Conservative, and I am proud to state – again, for the record – that I am not a Republican. I’m an Independent… an #indycon if you will… and I’m a proud member of the 3%er crowd for whatever that’s worth (google it and step back).

These are easy things to state.

Harder, however, is having to state that I would rather be shot in the face than to will NEVER vote Democrat. Harder because I have always been forced to vote Republican since it has always been my only other choice. I like choices. I don’t HAVE any choices. I HAVE to vote Republican or else – so I’m told – I am implicitly voting for a Democrat. Doing so (not voting) will accomplish nothing more, apparently, than to destroy America, kill baby seals, and piss off my Republican friends.

OR… I could REALLY piss ‘em off by stating that I refuse to vote against my own damn conscience. To them, you see, this voting thing has nothing to do with principles and has everything to do with not losing. Were I to make such a statement as suggesting that I would not vote… well, I’d be doing nothing less than committing political heresy! A traitor to the cause of freedom! “Hang him!” they would say.

I don’t HAVE to like the Republican I’m told… don’t have to agree with his or her position(s)… don’t even have to LIKE the position(s) they routinely insist they stand for, for the record, on the stump for that matter… I just have to vote for them. No one cares… not even my alleged friends (ultimately)… whether I want to vote for the Republican. I just have to, and no one cares whether I spontaneously combust immediately afterward or not… what’s a vote from a dead guy amongst friends, right?

Well, I won’t be voting. And I won’t miss the friends because, ultimately, they aren’t really friends after all. I have two ex-wives… I know a great deal about opportunistic fidelity. With them, at least, there was a little action… a grab here and a squeeze there… scattered in & around the war zone along with the child support check stubss. Friends? Nah… I’m good – I’m a little traumatized by the very thought of most of them nekkid.

I believe there is a black Obama and a white Obama running for President in 2012. Yes, I just said that and you hate me now, but there it is. They are both rich, neither knows very much about what life is like out here among the poor and downtrodden. They know they need us, but they haven’t a clue how we feel. They are both telling us how they will take care of us while having not a clue about what we even need in order to be taken care of… let alone whether any of those baubles and trinkets are even what would be in our best interest(s).

They both believe Government owns the primary role in “fixing” our lives while fighting over which part and how deeply “it” should interfere.

They both make more money than the vast majority of us while paying taxes at a significantly lower rate than damn near all of us.

They spend money like they have plenty of it while arguing over how much of it can be taken from us in order to pay for stuff they are quite sure we need… even though they really aren’t sure. And, for what it’s worth, those two really don’t know the difference one way or the other anyhow.

They aren’t us… they certainly aren’t me… and voting for either one of them would be rightly interpreted as my agreeing with them despite my knowledge that they care no more about me than they do the dollars they get out of having to pay in taxes at the end of the year.

We’re numbers… not people… and we only matter to them (in the case of POTUS) once every 4 years. We have to worry about them each and every one of the days in between their elections… 4 times 365 minus 1…you do the math… those odds suck.

A President will be elected in November 2012, and I won’t like him, agree with him, believe in him, or claim him as my own. Whoever he is – the white one or the black one – he will not get there by my hand… and I won’t be holding it out to him for my scraps whichever one of them does.

You guys go have your fun; POTUS elections will get no more air time here.

Now…about those New England Patriots…
