... sometimes shoe thinks about stuff ...

Tuesday, February 17, 2004

the shoe has been doing a little independent research on the current democratic hopefuls.....scary shit. now the shoe knows that politics is politics and any good politician will do what he/she has to do to win votes....but damn. check out this article (obviously biased but if it's accurate....)

clicky clicky

now, as the shoe was saying, politics is politics, but at least have the common fucking courtesy to have just a little bit of integrity and actually say what you believe in and then stick to it. is that to much to ask? how stupid do you have to be? these days any friggin' word that leaves your mouth or anything you write is recorded so it can be used against you the next time you open your mouth. hey, anyone can change their mind...that's a basic human right as for as the shoe is concerned. but if that's the case please admit you were wrong, stupid, drunk, ignorant, etc. don't try to explain to the shoe what you 'meant' to say or make up some bullshit like "if you take it in the context that..." pa-fuckin'-lease! the shoe wants all politicians to raise their right hand and say the following:

i [state your name] promise not to waffle. i swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth anytime i'm conducting official business in the interest of my constituents. if i change my position on an issue, i promise to notify my constituents and explain in detail why i am changing my position. and if the issue is contrary to the interests of my constituents i will personally apologize to each of them and offer to step down from office upon the conclusion of my term of office. further, i promise not to smear my opponents at any time. i promise to focus on the real issues of jobs, drugs, terrorism, etc. i will forgive my opponents for their transgressions when they were teenagers but will now hold them and myself to the highest standards of integrity. so help me god, amen.

well it's something to work with anyway.....
