STFU and Say Something
I was just listening to the key note speaker for tonight at the DNC and that phrase kept running through my head. I try to keep this blog kind of clean so as not to unduly offend anyone but geesh there is only so much bs I can listen to before my profanity filter shuts down. By STFU I mean stop talking in sound bites. If I hear one more person say one more inane thing instead of giving me direct answers I’m changing my party affiliation to FU. Seriously, Michelle Obama was bad but the guy (some governor I’m not sure which) tonight sent me over the edge.
A few examples:
We want a president who believes in science. Uhm….is there a candidate out there that doesn’t?
We will end our dependency on foreign oil and have cars that get 100mpg and end global warming.
Really? And how does the great Obama plan on doing all of these marvelous things?? Anyone? Tell me EXACTLY how he plans on ending our dependency on foreign oil? Drilling in the gulf? Raising the tax on oil and gas? Rationing? WHAT?! What is this fabulous freaking plan that is going to immediately solve all of our problems?
With Obama we will be first in the world again and rally the nations against terrorism….uh, you don’t say. And how, exactly, does he plan to do this? What are his EXACT foreign policy plans?
I stopped listening because my blood pressure was going up and I didn’t want to feel the need to become violent… I really wish the politicians would stop pandering to the people who just want to hear ‘don’t worry we’ll fix everything’ and start saying something to people like me who want facts/proof/a vague notion of a plan.
Anyone else want the politicians to STFU and start saying something that matters?
