A view on politics
entry by Vigilante

I've been hearing quite a bit about the American elections lately, and while I do pay them some attention, I don't follow too closely because they don't really affect me at all.

I've never been a big fan of the two party system in that the voters aren't really left with much choice. That's not to say that we have much more choice up here, because as we all know, a vote for something like the communist or green party is pretty much wasted. Although I definitely don't support the conservatives, I don't support the liberals either. I lost all respect for Paul Martin when he absolutely refused to answer the questions posed to him by Duceppe, although it was funny to watch Martin get more and more shaken up as the 'debate' went on. Hell, he could barely hold it together by the end.

Anyway, I've found it interesting that over the years American presidents seem to have gotten more and more wussified. Hell, look at the last few presidents like Clinton and Bush Sr., they look like idiots. Look at a picture of FDR, Eisenhower, Truman and JFK, they didn't look like the modern slimeballs that want to take over the presidency. Nixon is however the exception, that guy just plain looked like a used car salesman.

Except instead of selling used cars, he tried to sell the public the idea that he wasn't guilty.

Whenever I look at a picture of John Kerry, I keep seeing an uncanny resemblance to Beavis. Perhaps it's the same chin and blank stare, but it scares the hell out of me.
