After
practically two weeks of intense insomnia, I didn’t watch last night’s
presidential debate.
Even
without my prolonged lack of rest, I actually had every intention of seeing it
through until about 45 minutes before Romney vs. Obama round III started. That’s
when a large, spotted camel cricket jumped out from behind my loveseat in my
living room.
I
first tried killing it with a small box, but it neatly hopped away, thwarting
my efforts to save myself the horrors of having to wonder where the little
bugger was. When I finally located it again some five minutes later, it took
all I had (i.e. a can of ant and roach Raid) to battle the thing to the death.
Clearly,
since I’m writing this, I won; though there were some fairly shaky moments
where I wondered if I would be so fortunate. And even as the winner, there was
still a price to pay, as I had to leave the room to let the toxic fumes air
out.
Well,
that pretty much narrowed my options to going outside – with other disgusting camel crickets – or holing myself up inside my bedroom. I chose the latter, and once there, I just couldn’t find
the energy to move again.
So
I missed the debate.
And
honestly? I can’t say that I care.
Yes,
I know I’m the girl who’s obsessed with politics, and I usually much prefer to
actually be there when the news happens instead of reading about it later. But
after over four years of Obama’s campaigning – he really never stopped since
2008 or even 2007 – I’m over this President and anything he has to say short of
“I’m sorry”… which will happen just as soon as hell freezes over.
I’m
over his pandering and his bullying. I’m over his lies and conceit. I’m over his
hypocritical attitude and egotistical obsession with getting his own way.
I’m
just over him. And I have a feeling that a large enough part of America agrees
with me, regardless of what the media may want to say.
So
to me – and I’m assuming many others out there – it doesn’t really matter if
Romney performed abysmally or amazingly in the debates.
A summary of all the debates... red tie vs. blue tie, red tie wins big!!! Blue tie vs. red tie, red tie may have won with some help... Mixed blue/red tie vs. blue tie. It's a tie! But the mixed tie wins!! Random note, these are the primary colors of a polarized police state. So we may as well put them on top of the police cars and make police men wear big stop signs on their heads to make sure that they stop thinking for themselves at this point. We're a long way from the colonial militias with their tricorner hats and people capable of ruling/measuring themselves based on the trivium now. Or do people imagine themselves as intelligent because they own an Ipad or some bit of technology? As it seems that even those interested in politics look to Red/Blue polarizing political theatrics on a political stage that has already been bought and paid for by multinational corporate/financial interests running and the private banking cartel financing the show. So are patriotic Americans to be turned into good red coated or "red state" patriots fighting for their financial empire, one and all? Better hope there aren't any highly intelligent terrists like the early colonials who rebelled against the financial empire of their day in the rest of the world now, if so.
