Warning: Slightly political, but mostly a rant about dillholes.

God, how I hate election years. Mainly because I LOATHE attack ads by anyone in any party for any reason.

I don’t know about the rest of you, but I made my decision months ago.  I don’t need to see muck-raking, slanderous, bullying broadcasts on television during every commercial break. Do these people (excuse me, their PACs) really believe that they are going to garner votes based on who is the biggest bastard?  (Yes, they do and yes, they do.)

That shit doesn’t fly with me. I want a President, not someone who  could pass as a guest on The Gary Springer Show, in MY White House. Not a neo-Nazi. Not a Dominionist. Not a racist. Not a misogynist. Really, is that too much to ask?

About those attack ads: if a candidate (or their PAC – thanks, Citizens United) should make mention or feature an image of their competition in their ads, the attack ad should be deemed slanderous and ILLEGAL. If a candidate can’t run a civil campaign based on their own policies, ideas, merit, and experience, they have absolutely NO business running for office and creating a clusterfuck like we’re witnessing today.  That’s not freedom of speech. It borders on hate speech. As my mama would say “showing your ass”.  Idiocracy brought to full fruition.

The same with using religion to lure voters. “Come to Jesus. Vote for me.”  As any real Chrisitan (someone who follows Christ’s teachings) or student of religion would know, using religion to sell is actually the very example of taking the Lord’s name in vain – using God for power and your own selfish gains.  The Constitution plainly states in Article VI, Clause 3, that there should be no religious tests for our leaders. If the candidate is going to run on the Jesus platform, again, they have no business running for office.  Go start a mega-church and leave the rest of us alone. You’ll make more money and still get to boss around multitudes of followers.

Although, I must say that I do get a kick out of the Ted Cruz ad featuring Trump hiking up his britches so high that you see the outline of his package. I laugh ever time. Kudos to whoever found that footage.

The one that gets under my skin the most, however, is the “dangerous time” ad produced by Marco Rubio’s ass-milliner, Conservative Solutions PAC.

This one:

Particularly the quote by the National Review calling Marco “The Democrat’s worst nightmare.”

Oh, please. Don’t flatter yourself, pretty boy. This life-long Liberal is not one bit afraid of you.  I have proven I can maneuver myself in boots with 5-inch heels and a mini-dress during high winds. I believe I could certainly kick your dandy ass in your two-inch heels. Not being totally contentious, I will say I liked those boots. Very fashion-forward.

Now that we have the obligatory dick-measuring contest out of the way (I won!), I can tell you what does frighten me about this election cycle and the past eight years.  It is the decline of American civility that has taken place since we elected a black president. Gun sales have sky-rocketed, hate groups have proliferated, and people are just disrespectful, rude, and mean to each other.  It is the simple fact that a presidential candidate – who, if elected, will serve ALL the country – not just those in their party, is bragging about being any American’s worst nightmare. Shamefull and short-sighted. And WTF?

United we stand, divided we fall. Unity. Collaboration. Cooperation. A little empathy would be nice. Literally practice what you preach, or better yet, don’t preach at all.  Those are the things that have made our country what it was – yes I said was. If you look around with honest, open eyes, it seems as though our country that has been shot to hell, thanks in part, to vicious obstructionists, heavily biased media, and unfortunately, a segment of the population to whom facts simply do not matter.  You want to make our country great again? Don’t vote for neo-fascist, control freak assholes. And change the channel once in a while. Read something.

Rubio’s PAC ad also features an endorsement from walking toilet/fat joke Rush Limbaugh, calling Marco a “Disciple of Reagan.”  Oh, really?  Aside from the oh-so-subtle religious connotation and the fact that Ronald Reagan was not, in fact, Jesus, this is a very interesting comment. That is if you take the time to do some reading and research about President Reagan.

Here are a few points about his presidential career that would make the Ronald Reagan of the ’80s look like a left-centrist Democrat (or as they say “a Libtard”)  in today’s political atmosphere:

• Reagan enacted the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 1982 – the largest tax hike in modern history.
• Reagan tripled the national debt AND grew the government.
• As governor of California, Reagan legalized abortion.
• Reagan gave amnesty and citizenship to 3 million undocumented immigrants.
• Reagan supported a ban on the further manufacture of military-style assault weapons. He also signed into law the Firearms Owners Protection Act. This act protected 2nd Amendment rights but it also banned ownership of fully automatic assault rifles that were not registered by the time the law was signed.
• Reagan supported the Brady Bill, which required background checks and a waiting period for potential gun buyers.

If Rubio is truly a disciple of Ronald Reagan, then I want to see him take Reagan’s stance on THOSE issues.

Meanwhile, I will be recording all network televison programs and watching them on a 15 minute delay. That is why God created the fast-forward button.
