Do you really care who the President is?

From a previous post of mine:

I dont even vote. I really dont see the point. They are all liars, snakes and con artists who claim they are here to save our wonderful country. Well guess what, I just dont see anybody having enough of an impact on my day to day activities for me to give a shit. Politics are nothing but a game and the award goes to whomever the best actor is. Spare me your bullshit.

Sure there are those that will say what about taxes, and the economy and all that crap. Ok, what about it? We will pay taxes until the day we die. They will always go up and down. And dont get me started on the economy. I guess Clinton was responsible for the Tech boom of the late 90's and early 2000? Bullshit. Our economy will always go up and down no matter who is in office.

Screw the war subject also. We will never see the end to wars as long as any of us are alive. We will always be fighting with someone, young kids will always be sent off to fight, and yes, they will die. If anybody thinks this will ever stop with XYZ president then you are nuts. The only way to do away with war is for the world to do away with their respective militaries. It will never happen.

For every one thing that a president does right, there will be a line of people pointing out everything he did wrong, no matter who is in office. It will never change. It is all bullshit and to be honest with you I am amazed at the number of people who get wrapped up emotionally with the crap these people dish out.

I personally do not believe in acting like a fool and pretending that one is better than the other. Once again, spare me the bullshit. Politicians are equally manipulative and have one agenda in mind, their own personal success.

President = Scapegoat. Thats all.

With that said....Do you really care who the President is?

I voted, but I don't really care ... we're screwed either way.

Local elections have much more direct impact but I don't think many people on here want to discuss my local city council district race.

And I care about the economy and wars and who gets in office does have an effect on those issues. It's easy to say that it's the same whoever is in office, but that's not true. It takes effort to research the candidates and history to try and determine who represents your beliefs more closely. If you don't care, that's your right. But don't complain about taxes and the war or anything else affected by the gov't if you're not willing to make the effort to decide who should represent you.

Whether you vote or not, these people are your representatives. Would you hire someone to manage your store front without checking them out first? Or would you just let your neighboring businesses pick your employees for you.

I congratulate you in achieving such a zen-like state of total apathy

Nice post. Out of the two candidates who were "able" to win in our electoral college system, I don't really give a rat's ass about either. My quality of life did not noticeably change throughout my entire 21 year military career. It didn't matter whether a democrat or a republican was in office, I was still gonna get paid and get promoted based on my time in service and my qualifications. I got pay raises regardless of who was in office. I was deployed overseas at least six months a year regardless of whether the president was rep or dem. This election did not and will not affect me one bit, nor will it affect the great majority of you.
