This is Not a Wedding Related Post

We are two and a half weeks away from the election and as such I cannot keep my mouth shut. This is going to be my obligatory political post and if you don't care to read it, please move on.

Be warned - my level of profanity greatly increases in this post as I remember all the points that bother me.

I will not be voting for John McCain for the following reasons:

1. Because he opposes gay marriage.
2. Because I firmly believe that when it comes to the economy, he has no fucking clue what he's talking about. Especially when he says shit like "Fannie and Freddie Mae." Moron.
   
3. He owns multiple properties, I'm still not clear on how many but it's probably 8, and I believe anyone who owns that many properties is clearly not affected by the same issues as the person who only has one and can barely pay his mortgage.
4. I don't want to discriminate based on age, but McCain is clearly not going to be affected long-term by any boneheaded policy his administration might make.
5. Because he puts into air quotes "the health of the mother," like it's some imaginary thing, like he is a "viable" candidate for presidency. Note, this point is NOT ABOUT ABORTION but about his apparent disdain for a terrible choice that many unfortunate women have to make: your baby or your life.
   
6. I do not respect any man who calls his wife a trollop and a c*nt because she ruffled his balding head.
7. Especially because he lives off of her inheritance.
8. And he opposes a bill that gets rid of the statute of limitations on women who bring lawsuits against pay discrimination. (I think the current maximum is 180 days - don't quote me on that as I'm not 100% - but pay discrimination often takes years to prove.)
9. And he says that women suing for equal pay is not the way to get higher paying jobs, but to get more education and training. Like, fuck you, you fucking fuck. We already ARE educated and trained, and we're still paid less, that's the whole fucking point.
   
10. I am deeply offended by his naming Sarah Palin as a running mate, because I think it was a cheap ploy to get women to vote for him. As if he thinks that I will overlook all of Sarah Palin's inadequacies because OH MY GOD, SHE HAS BOOBS AND A VAGINA, JUST LIKE ME. AND SHE'S SO PRETTY AND CHARMING. LET'S FORGET ABOUT THE FACT THAT SHE CAN'T NAME A SPECIFIC NEWSPAPER AND THINKS HER PROXIMITY TO RUSSIA QUALIFIES HER IN THE FOREIGN POLICY DEPARTMENT.
    

Fuck you John McCain.
