Nonsense at work
I almost don’t want to post this because it’s about people at work. And people at work read this. But I guess I just won’t be too derogatory. I need to get this off my chest and it’s my blog anyway.
So I’ve been following the presidential campaign for weeks. I am more fired up over this election than any other. Reason #1 being it means NO MORE BUSH!. When W. was reelected 4 years ago, I wished I could just get knocked out for 4 years because I was so fucking tired of his shit. But I endured, as did everyone else.
Now here we are.. four loooong years later, new election. Candidate #1 awesome in my mind, Candidate #2 as annoying as W, his sidekick worse. But anyway, we all have our opinions. And that’s just mine.
The mud slinging between the two campaigns has been entertaining to watch, the pundits and internet news have been informative, and the comedians have been just awesome. Then there’s the bits that don’t get too much air time except on the net like McCain rally morons calling Obama marxist, muslim, etc. I like to watch those on youtube with my jaw hanging and head shaking in disbelief. And all I can tell myself is Yup, those people are really out there but man am I lucky I don’t live near those rednecks. Or so I thought…
I can’t believe that there are people I work with who actually believe that Obama was born in Kenya, that he’s not a US citizen and that he is a socialist. Twice over the past couple weeks, I’ve had to play stupid and end my part in the conversation because I just rather let other people’s shit lie. My Gawd! Someone please knock me out, erase my memories of the last 24 hours, and fast forward me to after the election!
I continue to lose respect for people who I thought highly of and it’s disappointing for me. It really is. Not because they would vote for McCain because I know 3 others who will be voting for McCain and I respect their decisions. We agree to disagree and that’s the end of it. But what kills me are the things some people continue to believe about Obama even in a place I thought was ‘redneck’ and stupid-free.
Anyone who absorbs false information generated by racists who would do anything to keep a black man from the white house really isn’t someone I can have high regard for.
