Clinton, Romney, McCain, Old People

An election update:

Hillary Clinton - After all of the Democratic party agreed that the state of Florida wouldn't be allowed to seat any delegates at the convention because they set their primary too early, Clinton is advocating for the opposite now that she won the meaningless vote there. That's fairly dishonest. When I play video games with my 6-year old cousin and he's losing, he always restarts the game. But if we're just having a practice game and he's winning, suddenly it counts. It's hypocritical and infuriating. Now imagine if a 60-year old presidential candidate was doing the same thing. At least my little cousin has the decency to not use racially polarizing language while he does it.

Mitt Romney - Of late, Romney has been taking a shot at John McCain by claiming that people should vote for Romney because he's actually had a job in the economy. McCain wasn't able to run a business, because he was held captive in a North Vietnamese Prisoner of War camp for many years!! It's a very slimy and heartless remark.

John McCain - John McCain has no problem keeping U.S. troops in Iraq for 100 years. Make it a thousand. McCain is a military man. He understands military tactics. He clearly doesn't understand the social, political, or historical situation in Iraq. Iraqis don't want any American presence in their country because we ruined it. Americans will always be in danger if they're left in Iraq. I'm going to go to McCain's house, which I hear has leaky pipes. I'm gonna blow it up and kill his family and then offer to help build him a better house. I'm sure he won't have any problem with that!

Old people - Old people made up a large portion of the Florida vote. That is a very scary proposition. You must be 18 years old to be allowed to vote, you should be under a certain age to be allowed to vote as well. An 84-year old should not be given the chance to determine the future. Their future is in the past. I feel the same way with driver's licenses. If you've ever driven in Florida you know the road features a combination of dangerously confused older people and frustrated crazy younger people. By younger people, I mean anybody under 55.
