That is one thing you might've noticed I |
daosorios |
00:03 00:06 |
don't complain about: Politicians. |
daosorios |
00:06 00:09 |
Everybody complains about politicians. |
uea978 |
00:09 00:11 |
Everybody says they suck. But where do |
daosorios |
00:11 00:13 |
the people think these politicians come from? |
daosorios |
00:13 00:15 |
They don't fall out of the sky. |
daosorios |
00:15 00:18 |
They don't pass through a membrane from another reality. |
daosorios |
00:19 00:22 |
They come from american parents and american families, american homes, |
daosorios |
00:22 00:25 |
american schools, american churches, american businesses and american universities. |
daosorios |
00:25 00:28 |
and they're elected by american citizens. |
daosorios |
00:28 00:31 |
This is the best we can do, folks. |
daosorios |
00:31 00:33 |
This is what we have to offer. |
daosorios |
00:33 00:35 |
It's what our system produces: |
uea978 |
00:35 00:38 |
Garbage in, garbage out! |
daosorios |
00:39 00:41 |
If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, |
daosorios |
00:41 00:43 |
if you have selfish, ignorant citizens, |
daosorios |
00:43 00:45 |
you are gonna get selfish, ignorant leaders. |
daosorios |
00:45 00:48 |
The term limits ain't goinna do any good; |
daosorios |
00:48 00:51 |
you're just going to end up with a brand new bunch of selfish, ignorant Americans. |
daosorios |
00:51 00:55 |
So maybe, maybe, maybe it's not the politicians who suck. |
daosorios |
00:55 00:58 |
Maybe something else sucks around here. |
daosorios |
00:58 01:00 |
Like... the public. |
uea978 |
01:00 01:02 |
Yeah. The public sucks! |
daosorios |
01:02 01:06 |
There's a nice campaign slogan for somebody. |
uea978 |
01:06 01:08 |
"The public sucks, fuck hope!". |
daosorios |
01:08 01:10 |
Fuck hope. |
daosorios |
01:11 01:13 |
Because if it's really just the fault of these politicians |
uea978 |
01:13 01:17 |
then where are all the other bright people of conscience? |
daosorios |
01:17 01:20 |
Where are all the bright, honest, inteligent americans ready to |
daosorios |
01:20 01:23 |
step in and save the Nation and lead the way? |
uea978 |
01:23 01:25 |
We don't have people like that in this country; |
uea978 |
01:26 01:29 |
everybody's at the mall, scratching his ass, picking his nose, |
daosorios |
01:29 01:34 |
taking his credit card out of his fanny pack and buying a pair of sneakers with lights in them! |
daosorios |
01:36 01:40 |
So I have solved this little political dilemma for myself in a very simple way: |
daosorios |
01:40 01:43 |
On election day... I stay home. |
uea978 |
01:43 01:47 |
I don't vote. Fuck'em, fuck'em! I don't vote. |
daosorios |
01:47 01:50 |
Two reasons, two reasons I don't vote: |
daosorios |
01:50 01:52 |
First of all, is meaningless. |
daosorios |
01:52 01:56 |
This country was bought and sold and paid for a long time ago. |
uea978 |
01:56 01:59 |
The shit they shuffle around every 4 years, *pfff* |
daosorios |
01:59 02:02 |
doesn't mean a fucking thing. |
uea978 |
02:03 02:08 |
And secondly I don't vote because I believe if you vote, you have no right to complain. |
daosorios |
02:09 02:11 |
People like to twist that around, I know. |
uea978 |
02:11 02:16 |
They say: "Well, if you don't vote, you have no right to complain"; but where's the logic in that? |
daosorios |
02:16 02:21 |
If you vote and you elect dishonest, incompetent people and they get into office |
daosorios |
02:21 02:24 |
and screw everything up... well, you are responsible for what they have done. |
daosorios |
02:24 02:27 |
You caused the problem; you voted them in; you have no right to complain. |
daosorios |
02:28 02:34 |
I, on the other hand, who did not vote, who did not vote, |
daosorios |
02:34 02:40 |
who in fact did not even leave the house on election day, |
daosorios |
02:40 02:45 |
am in no way responsible for what these people have done and have every right to complain |
daosorios |
02:45 02:49 |
as long as I want about the mess you created that I had nothing to do with. |
daosorios |
02:49 02:51 |
So I know that a little later on this year |
daosorios |
02:51 02:55 |
you're going to have another of those really swell presidential elections that you like so much, |
daosorios |
02:55 02:58 |
you enjoy yourselves it'll be alot of fun. |
uea978 |
02:58 03:01 |
I'm sure that as soon as the election is over your country will improve immediately. |
uea978 |
03:01 03:05 |
As for me, I'll be home that day doing essentially the same thing as you. |
uea978 |
03:05 03:07 |
The only difference is, when I get finished masturbating |
daosorios |
03:07 03:11 |
I'm gonna have a little something to show for it folks. |
daosorios |
03:11 03:14 |
Thank you very much. |
