It\u2019s fun, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n<p>And who are the candidates?  It\u2019s The Trump, the blowhard, making a lot of noise. It\u2019s Rubio, the only real opponent he has, standing up to him.  And then there\u2019s the flip side of the coin: Shrillary the potential felon and Bernie the badly aging hippie.  Those are your choices.  I don\u2019t know what happened to Kasich. He seems to have dropped by the wayside.  Carson threw up his hands and left.<\/p>\n<p>Lots of noise comes from both sides of the fence. The closer we get to the real election in the fall, the louder the noise will become.  In Chicago, a huge crowd of protesters gathered to riot over the appearance of the Donhair.  One of his idjit \u2018guards\u2019 \u2013 Lewandowski, I think \u2013 grabbed a girl reporter\u2019s arm and bruised it.  Whine, whine, whine.  <\/p>\n<p>Someone suggested that those protesters were paid to show up.  Sure, why not? It\u2019s Chicago, after all, where everybody votes, including the dead, and as many times as possible.  No electioneering, right?  Hah! Every time I went to vote in Chicago, there was someone outside the polling place, but inside the legal limit, telling me how to vote and for whom, and that is when I started using that old response: SHUT THE FUCK UP, ASSHOLE!  They didn\u2019t like that, but I offered to take them into the polling place so they could speak to a cop on duty there.<\/p>\n<p>Now we have a pain in the ass candidate who is a public bully with a big mouth, showing up against a former SoS whose ability to lie like a cheap rug from the Big Lots store is widely known. <\/p>\n<p>This looks like a real free-for-all, and I can only add my noise to it and say this: It\u2019s about damned time.<\/p>\n<p>The primaries are well underway.  Now the \u2018no one I want to vote for\u2019 whining is starting up.  Well, grow up.  This is not The Senior Prom or that asinine vote for the Homecoming Queen and her Court.  <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s The Government.  Like it or not, it is your government. It is your country and your US Constitution guarantees that you have the right to vote in a secret ballot. If you don\u2019t like the candidates, you can write in your own name.  Hell, you can write in mine or someone else\u2019s, for that matter.<\/p>\n<p>What does matter is that you get your flabby, whiny ass off the couch, quitcher bitching, and go vote. Vote in the primaries, even if you have to hold your nose to do it.  Then vote in the Fall, in November, in the main election.  Why?  Because if you don\u2019t, then you have nothing to complain about.  The candidates did not fail.  You fail to support your own country if you don\u2019t vote.<\/p>\n<p>This is America. It\u2019s the ONLY place in the entire world that sets the real standard for the human condition.  Why the hell do you think people come here? Why have so many people migrated here from countries where they have no voice at all?  This is a melting pot. It isn\u2019t the all-white, boys only club.  <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d like to remind you whiners that black people had the right to vote FAR ahead of women in this country, when the 14th Amendment was passed. It took us girls until 1920 to get a basic human right: the right to vote.  <\/p>\n<p>Go look it up.  <\/p>\n<p>You guys just take it for granted.  The argument was over the meaning of the phrase \u2018all men are created equal\u2019, meaning it was a boys\u2019 club, and women were excluded because VAGINAS! BREEDING RIGHTS!  Women had the right to vote in England before we had it here in the USA.<\/p>\n<p>This is America. It ain\u2019t  some furren country like the Soviet Union (not a country, but a conglomerate) where everybody voted, or ELSE, and for one candidate only.  Is that what you want?  Because if you don\u2019t go and vote, but pout about the choices like some spoiled little snot, you have only yourself to blame if we do end up like that.<\/p>\n<p>We have choices. If the choices don\u2019t meet our needs, who the hell are we to decide to not vote and stay home?  We have an obligation to support the very thing that lets us make choices. It\u2019s a little thing I like to call FREEDOM. I\u2019d like to remind all of you that Richard \u2018Tricky Dick\u2019 Nixon got fired because he didn\u2019t do his job properly. <\/p>\n<p>So quit your bitching about Trump\/Rubio\/whoever and get off your dead ass and go vote.  If you don\u2019t, you\u2019ll end up with Shrillary or Bernie the aging hippie instead.  Is that what you want?<\/p>\n<p>Go vote in the primaries, and go to the polls in November.  And shut the fuck up, asshole!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following is a guest post from our own Ex-PH2; Voting season is here again.
