CAN THE MUSIC SAVE YOUR MORTAL SOUL?

EddieSki -- Music, opinion, and bullshit...

You would think my love was really something good, baby if I could...

Have you ever heard any of these?
  • You're wasting your vote.
  • A vote for him is a vote for them.
  • Your chances of winning are none.
  • It's more American to vote for either of the two-parties.
Then you probably vote third party, but I'm not even gonna argue against these because it's pure bullshit. I just have one question. Why is this happening?

Voter Turnout:
2008 - 56.8%
2006 - 37.1%
2004 - 55.3%
2002 - 37.0%
2000 - 51.3%

People want change, but at the same time they're afraid of it. So they take someone from the party that isn't ruling at the time, slap change on the bastard, and hope for dear life that a miracle happens.

So here's how I feel about this change and hope slogan bullshit. And both Obama and Bush used it, so I'm not just shitting on Obama here. The following is from Tommy Boy.
Tommy: Here's the way I see it, Ted. Guy puts a fancy guarantee on a box 'cause he wants you to fell all warm and toasty inside.

Ted Nelson, Customer: Yeah, makes a man feel good.

Tommy: 'Course it does. Why shouldn't it? Ya figure you put that little box under your pillow at night, the Guarantee Fairy might come by and leave a quarter, am I right, Ted? [chuckles until he sees that Ted is not laughing too]

Ted Nelson, Customer: [impatiently] What's your point?

Tommy: The point is, how do you know the fairy isn't a crazy glue sniffer? "Building model airplanes" says the little fairy; well, we're not buying it. He sneaks into your house once, that's all it takes. The next thing you know, there's money missing off the dresser, and your daughter's knocked up. I seen it a hundred times.

Ted Nelson, Customer: But why do they put a guarantee on the box?

Tommy:
Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of shit. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time.

Alright, I believe everything you are saying! Personally, I think some of the choices for candidacy this last election were too much of a joke.

But you get a real A+ for quoting Tommy Boy.

I love that movie! :D
