Election Day 2012 is fast-approaching. It's looking like a campaign between Obama and Romney, and I am not at all pleased. Obama has proven himself to be another George W. Bush (insomuch as spending is concerned), and Romney has further spiraled into Tea Party catering. No, I don't like this Obama/Romney race at all. It's akin to choosing between AIDS and cancer, and if I can choose neither, that's precisely what I'll do. Looks like I will be headed to Canada...
Jon Huntsman has recently voiced disapproval of the GOP and has called for a third party movement. I would gladly vote for Huntsman or my man Ron Paul, but I don't know if that would do much good. When the campaigning began, I kept hearing how much people liked Paul, but how he could never be president. "Pshaw," I thought. "Of course he can win. All people have to do is vote for him." But as time went on (and as the media ignored him), it broke my heart to discover that he won't ever win.
I suppose the amusing part in this tragedy is that all the Obama supporters I've heard seem to believe that Romney will win; all the Romney supporters seem convinced that Obama will get a second term. I'm curious to see how that will pan out in the elections (from afar, of course. Canada is calling my name; "Brent, eh? Brent, eh?").

Of course, here in Utah, Romney is celebrated as sort of a third prophet (right behind Thomas S. Monson and Glenn Beck), so I've become accustomed to hearing the same old "we con't need a politician, we need a businessman" and "you have to play to the extremes during primaries" horse crap. Look, anybody who gets involved in politics is a politician, and Romney has been a politician for twenty years - so your point is moot. I really must learnt to tune out the Utahan logic.
Since Ron Paul isn't going to win and since Jon Huntsman won't be accepting a third party nomination, here's a list of three people I'd be willing to vote for this November;
1) For anyone who knows of my platonic man-crush on the San Francisco Giants' relief pitcher Brian Wilson, this shouldn't be very surprising; I've already said I'd vote for him before. I don't know his political views, but he'd probably be a better option than either of the clowns we'll be stuck with come 2012. My first pick for President, Brian Wilson #38!

2) How does one compete with an eloquent, well-dressed black guy for president? By running him against an even more interesting black guy. And I ain't talking about Herman Cain, I'm talking about the fashionable gloves-wearing karate expert, "The Rent is Too Damn High" innovator, Mr. James "Jimmy" McMillan III!
(hilarity - and fiscal responsibility - ensues)
3) Two words: Hans Landa. Why? 'Cause he's bad ass. Never mind that he's foreign (and a fictional Nazi). Christoph Waltz made him the best absolute best part of Inglourious Basterds.
Three of the five people I'd vote for. And they probably have as much a chance to win as the other two. And that's why I'll be headed to Canada. Until next time, hosers.
