Horrified

I don't have anything great to say this time--just that I'm scared to death. John McCain is winning in the polls. He is actually in the lead. How is that possible? Are they real or is there that big of a media conspiracy? I guess I just thought there was no way McCain could actually win, but apparently I was wrong. Does anyone know anything about this anomaly?
If John McCain wins this election, then you can just go ahead and put a fork in American democracy. It's over. There is no good or rational reason to believe that McCain is going to do anything other than what Bush has done, and Bush enjoys some of the lowest approval ratings in the 20th century. Yet somehow Republicans and Independents are still willing to elect this guy...hey assholes, ever heard of buyers remorse? I apologize for the language, but this is incredible. It's like watching a dog eat his own vomit because he's too damn dumb to remember why he threw it up in the first place.
I'm sorry but if this continues I'm leaving. I can't live through another 4 years of cronyism and do-nothing politics. And it is just goddamn depressing. Maybe that's not the right attitude, but like I said, if McCain wins there is no more democracy, because it means that Americans are too dumb and/or too confused by a fourth estate (the media) that increasingly resembles People and the National Inquirer to vote for their best interests. It means that "drill, baby, drill" beat out change, hope, and feeling positive about other people. It means that playground politics and he-said, she-said sound bytes are more important than addressing real issues such as energy, health care, and foreign policy. It means that intellect, knowledge, and problem solving don't matter--AND I'M A FUCKING TEACHER!!! If John McCain wins this election it means that I don't matter, and if that's the case, I'm going to take my talents somewhere I do.
