Boycott the election!

by Kathy Fisher, Unknown News

March 3, 2004

Since they run the country despite of us, let them have their damn election without us.

I won't hold my nose. I won't hold my breath to see which one wins. I won't hold the lever down to vote for either one of the crooked bastards. I will only hold them accountable for fucking the country up.

I won't be part of the ugliness.

I won't vote because some asshole says "it's my right." If that's the case, then it's my right not to vote.

When we marched in D.C. against the war -- did they listen? Did they need us to shock and awe? When they voted for NAFTA, did they ask us if we approved? When they voted themselves a raise, did they care that so many of us can't make ends meet? Did they ask us to submit our approval of the PATRIOT Act before they made it Law? Do they ask us if we want our tax dollars going over to Israel in the tune of 4 billion a year? Do they ever ask us to vote for anything other than the candidates of their choice every four years? Well unless you're living on another planet you know the answer to all these questions is -- no, they didn't, and no, they don't!

In the last election they counted chads and Bush got the bozos in the long robes to give him the all clear. My stomach hasn't been right since.

Now they've basically got the same guy on both sides running for President -- different names, that's all. Why in God's name would any normal person want to be part of this pitiful embarrassment they dare call an election?

You who vote will be responsible for continuing the war in Iraq, Afghanistan ... and who knows where else. Neither one of these jerks is about to bring the troops home. Thanks to Bush turning it into a downright quagmire, the UN wouldn't touch that mess with a ten foot pole. And why should the UN go in and get their asses blown up every day? They were against the war right from the beginning!

Sen. Kerry says he'll bring jobs back, but never mentions that his voting record shows he said yes to NAFTA. Nor does he explain how he's going to do any good either. He stood with the labor union leaders last week and said he will drill for oil all over America including the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and everyone knows he voted against it. He told the anti-war movement people to move on. All you people who plan to vote for the lesser of two evildoers better check out Kerry's voting record. You won't like it.

We already have a Scull & Bones man running the country into the ground. Kerry's not even in the White House yet, and he's lying just as bad as the current warmonger and thief.

Come on, people. The election is a scam, and nobody likes to be scammed.

Less the 40% of the voting public came out in the 2000 election. About 5% voted for a third party candidate. That means that only 18% of America's voters voted for Bush. These fuckers don't need us.

Let the oligarchy vote for themselves! Think of all the money we'll save, if we the taxpayers don't have to pay for all those rigged voting machines.

Let them have the election without us. The media whores and special interest groups and Corporate arm-twisters can vote for the brownnose of their choice. After all, they're the only people the politicians work for. The rest of us should boycott this fake-phony-fraud of an election.

Won't you please join my husband and I? Let's sit this one out. Let's do to them what they do to us for four years once they are in: Let's ignore them!

Let's pretend they don't exist ...
