Can someone tell me WTF is going on?

So, our revered financial markets seem to take on the look of a global Craps game, with people’s retirement funds and life savings being gambled on a roll of the dice. The only guarantee of our financial markets is that the multi-millionaire bankers and corporate CEOs have their hands wedged far too deeply inside the US tax payer’s pocket in order to lose. Though exactly how much those money grabbing republican reptiles will end up costing the coal miners of Appalachia , or the steel workers of Michigan is anyone‘s guess. Still, one thing’s assured, their descendents are gonna be paying off the Chinese for generations to come.

But, don’t worry as there’s been a whole lot of hot air coming out of the republican ticket, telling anyone that’ll listen how they’ll never let it happen again, and again, and again.

On top of all the republican self-regulated free trade fuck-ups that have been happening, the MSM finally admit that they’ve been aware of the McCain camp’s lying all along. They’re aware that McCain’s been lying to the American electorate for ages now. Lying on just about everything, from what his running mate has, or hasn't done, and things that McCain himself has or has not said, to misrepresenting his opponent's policies and feigning outrage at Barack Obama’s innocuous statements. Yet I click on to my favorite electoral map of the country this morning expecting to see Obama holding a comfortable 350-400 electoral vote lead, only to see that he’s actually lost ground to McCain.

Lost ground!!!

How the fuck does that happen? are we living in some alternate reality? has Spongebob declared that it's opposite day or something? I am just stunned.

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised by the stupidity of the US electorate, after all they did return GW to power four years ago. But, how can they support the aged candidate of a party that’s all but ravaged this country over the past 8 years? how can a sound majority of them prefer more of the same? How can they be convinced that this 100 term Senator and two week Mayor of a village in Alaska are the perfect team bring us the change this country so desperately needs?

Don’t they value their savings? Can’t thay see the damage this regime is doing to this country? I’m English but I care, I worry for my American cousins, honestly I worry. One thing’s for sure there would never be a Christian uprising in blighty, we stopped all that nonsense years ago, something like 8% of the population go to church and that’s on a good week.

But, I’m vested in this country, my son was born here, and sees himself as an American, well an American that’s very aware of his British roots. So this is my adopted country, and I actually care about what happens to it. As I've said before I’ve grown to appreciate and respect your amazing constitution. Though it seems that 'piece of paper' has disappeared of late, perhaps the US government gave it to the British Civil Service and asked them to file it for safe keeping!

The way things are going there will not be an America in a few years. The Chinese and Indians must be laughing all the way to the bank. here you are in a struggle for the world's greatest economy and you're giving it all away, you couldn't make it any easier for them. Please, citizens of my adopted country, please, please, read the policies that these candidates stand on. Don’t just believe to Rush Limbaugh's invented versions, read them yourself. Leave your petty prejudices behind for a while, there‘s far too much at stake. At least wait until the young black dude has managed to secure your life savings and your pensions first.

Americans, get rid of this regime, throw the republican machine out of power, they deserve nothing from you, they’ve done nothing for you, only lined their own pockets while you suffer. Only Obama can rectify this horrific situation we're in, we won’t get a second chance.
