THE 1996 ELECTION
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
Since 1992, the interests of the United States of America have been guided by
|
|
our President, Bill Clinton. I've heard many people speak disparigingly of
|
|
him, while few have offered any sort of praise. He is, at least among those
|
|
with whom I converse, universally disliked. And if the press is any measure,
|
|
it seems that he does not have much favor outside of my own circle, either.
|
|
How is it, then, that a man held in such low regard managed to obtain the
|
|
highest office in this great nation?
|
|
|
|
I've asked people, while they were badmouthing him, "Did you vote for him?"
|
|
Well, yes, they meekly replied. But there were no other options. They
|
|
weren't happy with the incumbent George Bush, so they voted for Clinton
|
|
who, as near as I can tell, has no redeming characteristics whatsoever.
|
|
They settled. No other options.
|
|
|
|
How could this happen? How could a man become President of The United
|
|
States of America by default? Now is a good time to ponder this question,
|
|
as we are nearing another election. Already, people are expressing
|
|
disatisfaction with the candidates.
|
|
|
|
"Hell yes, I'm sick of Clinton, but he'll get my vote before Dole does."
|
|
|
|
"I don't give a damn who is running, Clinton won't be getting my vote."
|
|
|
|
Well. Isn't that a pretty picture. Years ago, I used to think that people
|
|
were rather silly when it came to electing their leaders. There were those
|
|
who voted the party line, without regard to the individual candidate. If
|
|
he was a Democrat, then by God, he got the vote. Or the "single issue"
|
|
voters...if the candidate favored their pet issue, say, Support For Left
|
|
Handed Mongoloid Spinach Farmers, then by God, it didn't matter if the
|
|
soon-to-be-elected was also in favor of prohibition, the vote was there.
|
|
This mentality used to amuse me. Now, I wish we could return to the days
|
|
when voters actaully cared about issues, even if it were only one, single-
|
|
minded issue.
|
|
|
|
But nobody does care anymore. We take what we are offered. And if we don't
|
|
like what is offered to us, we settle for that which is least offensive,
|
|
rather than demanding something better. Good Lord, people. Bill "I smoked
|
|
marijuana, but I didn't inhale" Clinton. It was bad enough that he couldn't
|
|
tell the truth, but to lie so pathetically was inexcusable. Or at least, I
|
|
thought it was. I was insulted that he thought he could say something like
|
|
that, and be believed. But apparently, I was the one who was wrong. We put
|
|
this man in the White House.
|
|
|
|
We do have choices, people. But nobody is going to walk up to our doorsteps
|
|
and leave them on our porch. We must become involved. We must speak our
|
|
minds. We must give a damn. We must refuse to settle for what is offered to
|
|
us. We must demand better. Why in the hell will anyone offer us anything
|
|
more, so long as we continue to settle for what we are offered?
|
|
|
|
Would you settle for an out-of-the-box computer from Radio Shack, when you
|
|
could build a higher-performance machine for less money? No. Then why
|
|
settle for the brain-dead, self-serving bureocrats that are being offered
|
|
to us? All it takes is effort. Damnit, speak out. Lobby. Let your
|
|
causes be known, and support them. Do you want Al "Info-Superhighway" Gore
|
|
to represent you? How about Newt Gingrich? No? Well, the choice is yours.
|
|
And it is not merely a choice between the two of them. That is the easy
|
|
choice to make. The hard choice involves rejecting them both, and demanding
|
|
someone who represents you! Do it. And don't settle for anything less.
|
|
If you do, you will be the one who has to live with it.
|
|
|
|
Ignorance is not bliss, my friends. Ignorance is ignorance. You have a
|
|
voice. Make it heard.
