An Appeal to the US Voter

Dear US voters,

I know none of you read this blog, since I know only one person reads this (Hi) but I'm making an appeal to you anyway.

To us in Britain, your election seems to have been going on for years. I know those were the candidate selections, and it still baffles me that you have a system where people in the same party sling muck at each other, only to then have to support whoever was the victor. But different strokes and all that, after all we don't technically elect any of our heads of state.

Still, should you care, please, for the love of gods don't vote republican. Its not that I have too many issues with John McCain, its the party in general (Lets face it, they've made a balls of things so far) and more specifically Sarah Palin. She scares me, a lot. Not because I have a problem with women in power, quite the opposite, in fact if the democrats had gone a different way I'd have thought a Clinton/Obama ticket could do great things (More on that a little later). No, a woman who makes GW Bush look like a progressive liberal being one heart attack away from running the most powerful country in the world, have you any idea how dangerous that is?

And what is wrong with Obama, Is it because his middle name is Hussein? Is it because for some reason you seem to have got it into your heads that he is a Muslim? Or is it, in the words of Ali G, because he is black? And if the answer to any of these questions is yes, What the hell is wrong with your people. If I got to pick a leader, I'd pick the person most suited to the job, regardless of race, colour, creed, faith or shoe size. Hey, Sarah Palin hunts. We share the same hobbies, and that's your reason to vote for someone, should I vote Tory because one time leadership challenger John Redwood was a Trekkie? In fact should I ignore all the parties views on different subjects and vote for someone purely on their taste in TV and if they play City of Heroes. I can see it now. Yes, I find David Cameron smug and annoying and could never bring myself to vote for his party, but we did a safeguard mission last night and he was a really good tank.

Now despite the fact that it probably means Tory rule, I'm happy that people in the UK probably won't vote Labour next election, in fact unless Boris does something spectacularly dumb the Tories have it in the bag. SO why would you still vote republican after the kicking they've given your country, because John McCain got shot down a lot, because Sarah Palin is a family obsessed nut redneck like yourself. For once vote with your damn head, you might grow as a person.

Love and Hugs
