Choice. It's a word we hear constantly. We "choose" to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgendered. We "choose" this lifestyle. Personally, I don't care what anyone thinks. At this point in my life, given the choice, I would choose this life had it not chosen me. I'd rather be true to who I am than spend my life criticizing everyone else's choices. I choose to vote. I will exercise my right to choose anyone other than the current president, who was not chosen by the people, but was appointed by the Supreme Court. Mind you, I love bush. But I don't choose Bush. So, go John Kerry. While I'd rather it were John F. Kennedy, Jr. this year, I will choose John F. Kerry. So, Strap This On for this pivotal election:
The Top Ten Reasons to Go Vote
10) Freedom. Only 50% of us voted last election. Let's make our voices heard. While I'd rather hear the screams and cries of my woman in pleasure, let's hear the screams of victory for democracy!
9) Jobs. Call me crazy, but I'd like to know there will be jobs in my future other than "May I take your order."
8) Marriage. We were perfectly content just being committed. But now that they brought it up, I'd like to get legally married and get the same benefits as the married couples whom my tax money currently goes to benefit.
7) Real issues. How about issues that unite us rather than divide us like health care for all, keeping jobs here in our country, tax breaks for the largest percentage of Americans, and life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all.
6) Give peace a chance. Let's just try it, instead of going to war with the people your daddy couldn't beat so you could give more oil kickbacks to your rich friends who helped you steal the election in the first place.
5) Relationships. Let's try choosing a president who wants to have relationships with other countries rather than pissing everyone off and increasing our chances of getting attacked on our soil again.
4) Gas Prices. I don't know about you but I'm personally not making enough money to keep up with the increases in gas prices as well as food and vibrators.
3) Martha Stewart. She'll be in jail just long enough to decorate the cells that should be waiting for W's Enron buddies that stole millions compared to her $40K.
2) Intelligence factor. I would feel more secure knowing the leader of our country is more intelligent than my nine year old nephew and can speak in more complete sentences.
1) No more whining about what hard work his job is. All of us in the middle to lower class could teach W about hard work. Let's elect someone that will let us keep more of the money we earn, so we don't have to get that third job. Or here's a novel idea. Give us the tax breaks so we can afford to eat, rather than to those who just "need" that third vacation home.
