OK since it is that time again, the time where we step up and exercise our democratic rights and vote, I felt that I should jump into the fray and speak up on my opinions of the issues on the ballot this year.
Prop 1A: Up until this semester I was depending entirely on the coaster to get me two and from school. I felt that it was for the most part a fairly great way to get to and from San Diego. That being said I have to support this as a high speed rail would really help with the commute on the 5, as fewer people will be driving north and south.
Prop 2: Yes, as I support stuff that helps the animals.
Prop 3: Yes, better hospitals are always a good thing.
Prop 4: No, while I agree with the overall idea of this proposition, I can not agree with it because of the risk of abusive parents. If they were to add a clause to it that could potentially protect from potential abuse repercussions then I would vote for it.
Prop 5: Yes, I think that the pros and cons balance out pretty well on this one and I can agree with the idea of programs to help people.
Prop 6: Yes, criminal justice needs to be well funded, especially in these troubling financial times.
Prop 7: No, while I don’t like being someone to go with the crowd for the sake of going with the crowd, I have to on this one as it is really poorly written.
Prop 8: No, First off it is simply wrong to deny anyone basic human rights for any reason. Second off, there is this little thing called the 14th amendment, which VERY clearly guaranties equal protection under the law, which means if we allow rights to one group we have to allow it to all. Period. It simply sickens me that we still live in a country where people are discriminated over the dumbest things. Honestly how does a gay couple being able to marry effect you. You want to know the honest truth? It doesn’t, so how about instead of spending so much time and money getting into other people’s lives and why don’t you try and see if you can get your head out of your own ass’.
Prop 9: Yes, as victims should have input into the process to decide if a criminal should be preleased.
Prop 10: Yes, as I do support funding and application of alternative fuel technology.
Prop 11: No, as we already have one body drawing district lines why do we need another?
Prop 12: Yes, I support our vets fully and like to help however possible.
Prop A: No, now don’t get me wrong I am all for improved fire protection, however I feel that this prop just doesn’t do it.
President: McCain, frankly I can not in good conscience vote for Obama. First off his idea of raising taxes, on any one, in this time of extreme financial turmoil is nothing short of stupidly. The last time we had a president who did that we ended up in the great depressions, and since I don’t think there is going to be another world war to get us out of another depression it is idiotic to even head in that direction. His idea of time tables out of Iraq is equally moronic, as the extremists need only wait until we leave to tear that country apart and the blood that is spilled in that destruction will be on our hands and we will HAVE TO go back and put more American lives in harms way. Additionally is calls to talk directly with Ahmanutjob, someone who has repeatedly said that they will wipe Israel off the map, is something you simply don’t do. You do not sit down and have tea and small talk with a despot. The fact that his administration has repeatedly defied international mandates only goes to very blatantly show that their nuclear program is not only not benign as they have said it is but, that they fully plan to use any nuclear weapons they develop. Because of this I fully support a war with Iran, both to ensure the safety of the region and the world at large, but also because the world needs to wake up and relies that if humanity is to survive then we need to be united under 1 banner, we need to bring together the collect strengths of the human race to deal with the problems that we face. Sorry to diverge a bit but I needed to get that out. Additionally I can not vote for Obama as all of his economic plans are nothing short of socialism. I mean did we not spend 50 years with the threat of nuclear annihilation defeating this shit.
So ya I know that I am probably going to get flamed to hell for this but I need to say what I think.
