Payndar's US Presidential Endorsement
Posted: Fri Oct 29, 2004 5:47 pm
After a year of close analysis, I have decided how to cast my vote for the US presidential election.
On the one hand, there is the guy who has changed his position several times on issues he said were deeply important. He has waffled on how much the government should tax and spend, has waffled on the role of religion in government, has waffled on human rights. He has changed his mind on how the US should project its power on to other nations.
On the other hand, there is the guy who promises to stay the course in Iraq, but has little record to show he can competently manage a war for more than 5 minutes. He promises to expand the economy through trade, but has advocated protectionist measures that damage exports. He promises to limit government expenditures, even though his record shows him to be a massive spender with no visible restraint.
If you can tell which paragraph refers to which candidate, switch your guess and re-read.
These fuckers are equally terrible.
I abstain, and will vote for Congress.
