Voting Pisses Me Off

Voting is one of those rare things that I think you need to do, but it doesn’t really matter either way. I feel that you have no business complaining about the state of the country, the economy, or especially politics, unless you do everything possible to make a difference. Of course, voting in America means nothing. It’s been awhile since I’ve studied this stuff, so correct me if I am wrong, but for national elections, your vote basically means diddly dogshit. This country was set up to have indirect elections. I guess the founding fathers felt that most sheeple allowed to vote were too stupid to actually make informed decisions. So a system of electoral voting was put in place with delegates and super delegates and all that happy horseshit.

Of course, we invaded Iraq and gave those fuckers over there direct voting. Fucking ironic, isn’t it?

Most of you sheeple pay more attention to American Idol than to what really matters. You’ve got your special little media-glitzed, government-issue rose-colored glasses on, and you believe everything you’re told on TV. You think that if someone says they’re fair and balanced, well gosh darnit, they must be. Because after all Survivor is real, right?

I don’t really want you voting, actually. You’re too stupid to realize that texting while driving your SUV is dangerous. Do I really want to entrust the future of our country in your hands? No.

But just remember, when something happens and the veil is lifted, when it’s no longer possible to ignore that we’re living in a police state under martial law, you asked for this. Because no decision IS a decision. And your inaction and apathy are what make those fuckers able to do whatever the fuck they like with your rights.

You don’t care, of course. Stick your empty head back in the sand and make the bad woman go away. Click off and go to the next site that talks about Britney and her latest drama. You made her famous by being interested in her fucking white trash soap opera shit, which just says what kind of person you are. A fucking cunt and I hate you.

Anyway, I found this a few minutes ago. I remember when the president of Diebold said he wanted W. to win and would do anything to make it happen. I was appalled then, but didn’t have any way to express myself. So here is some information. Check it out, unless you’re too fucking apathetic and lazy.

1. 80% of all votes in America are counted by only two companies: Diebold and ES&S.

9.  Diebold’s new touch screen voting machines have no paper trail of any votes.  In other words, there is no way to verify that the data coming out of the machine is the same as what was legitimately put in by voters.

16.  California banned the use of Diebold machines because the security was so bad.  Despite Diebold’s claims that the audit logs could not be hacked, a chimpanzee was able to do it!  (See the movie here:  http://www.bbvdocs.org/videos/baxterVPR.mov.)
