In order to graduate in December I have to submit a form to the offices at Rowan University by October 14th. Perhaps when the deadline passes I will just innocently shrug my shoulders and tell them New Jersey deadlines are meaningless. I doubt this will go to well.

“Hypocrisy”


For years since I started paying attention to the political world all republicans have been described as liars and only look out for the rich. There have been many examples to lead you to believe that people who think this are simply hypocrites.


One such example is in the garden state (soon to be renamed the Comcast Sate) with Torricelli backing out. The main reason for him dropping out of the race was that the Democratic Party could simply not get away with lying anymore. If he had not slipped in the polls, you can bet your right testicle his cronies would have had no problem with letting an openly corrupt man represent New Jersey. When they realized the race seemed over they put pressure on him to resign. Now even though the deadline has passed to submit your candidate it was ruled by the state yesterday that it was cool if they put up another candidate. The democrats are going to foot the bill for the new ballots, but what about all the Republican’s now useless literature with Torricelli’s name on it?

I guess its’ cool the race will be more interesting now( if the US courts allow it) , but is that a reason to over throw the law? Just because it would really suck to see a man run against someone who is not running. The democrats could have just been a real pain in the ass, and said write in the vote for our new candidate. This would most likely disgruntle poll workers, and turn into a disaster. Maybe they should just vote for none of the above, like Richard Pryor instructed in “Brewster’s’ Millions”

Most the people who moaned about the Florida debacle in the 2000 year are unlikely to tell you that the panel was mainly democrats, and two of them contributed to the “Torch’s” campaign. These same people think the Dubbya’s brother rigged the voting machines. This would have been a brilliant idea but it would have required a time machine. The machines were done in the same confusing fashion long before the 2000 election, but that’s another story.

Torricelli is a democrat so is supposed to be a people person right ? (Not to be confused with the Philadelphia Daily News: The People Paper) Well instead of apologizing to the people of New Jersey for being corrupt he told us several times how great he was and how many things he accomplished. Save it for the book “Torch”. I only hope the investigations continue.

Meanwhile in a speech not too far away, former vice president Al Gore spoke his mind. Gore’s tirade about Bush knowing about 9/11 is about as fresh as the latest Mathew Perry vehicle. Apparently, Gore thinks since Bush who was an owner of a baseball team and governor of Texas at the time should have acted on Bin Laden. Who ever was vice president during a time period when most the red flags were flown certainly should not have to do anything. Bush was in office for 6 months when America was attacked. No one ever mentions that. Or since Clinton thought that Americans were at such a risk, why he didn’t use one of his million dollar speeches to open everyone’s eyes about the looming threat. I look forward to Gore actually saying something new. I would like to know where the lock box is 2 years later. I m not saying Bush didn’t drop the ball he did.

I admit when republicans make gaffs like I did on here before. I do not even consider myself a republican. I certainly would not want to be a hypocrite. I know there is a great deal going on out there that I am ignorant to. I hate how when republicans over turn a law it is abuse of power, and when democrats do this (how is this not looking out for their own personal interests?) it’s a bunch of honest to goodness fellows fighting for the justice for all.
