hi Ufitti
'A
Wald’s World
Y! ,S!!! It’s that time a year
again. Can’t you tell by the fun-
filled ads on the T.V., the car
toons in the paper, the apathy
in the air. Yup it’s presidential
election time and what a cast of
characters we got to choose
from this year. Let’s see this
year we got Slick Rick Clinton
trying to become a two-timer(no
pun intended), grandfather
Dole, excuse me great-grandfa-
ther Dole, and some short, big
eared, lunatic billionaire to
choose between. Is it any won
der why I’m not registered?
No sir, the election won’t
be passing to soon for me. The
non-stop news coverage and all
the mindless negative ads, man
it’s just getting old. Isn’t the
whole point of this election to
try and find the “best” candi
date to lead this fine country of
ours, not elect the candidate
that fits the description, “well
he’s not so bad”. The political
parties spend hundreds of mil
lions of dollars advertising for
their candidate and their views,
and all they can say is Dole is a
geezer, or Clinton is a
stoner,don’t you think they
could be a little more creative.
Hell, I think I’d vote for Eddie
the Pear if he ran a straight for
ward positive campaign, at least
he’d be focusing on the issues,
plus, how can you not love the
pear, he’s just got it going
on(there’s your plug Marlon).
I don’t know who I’d vote
for if I was registered, now that
I think about it. Are any of these
candidates really fit to be presi
dent of the United States? I
don’t think so. My opinion has
been completely distorted, by
the media and hype anyways.
Whatever happened to the Abe
Lincolns, the FDR’s, the JFK’s?
Why can’tthe American public
find a person of these former
presidents outstanding charac
ter and with the leadership they
possessed? Maybe it’s because
these types of people, don’t
want to be scrutinized by the
press, and have their whole
lives, good and bad, exposed
before the eyes of the public. I
feel that we put too much pres
sure on these candidates to have
a perfect past, and don’t worry
enough abouth the policies and
ideas they possess today. We
lost Colin Powell this year be
cause of this, and it will most
likely deter many other formi
dable candidates from running
if we don’t stop these attacks
on personal character. I under
stand this is what makes news,
and what sells papers, but these
people running are who repre
sent and stand for our country.
If we make them look bad, we as
a country look bad. So best of
luck to all of you voters out
there, trying to fmd the best can
didate to cast your vote for. I lie
to you not, if the way campaigns
are run doesn’t change by the
2000 elections, I guarentee Eddie
the Pear will be getting one vote.
This has been Wald’s World and
I’m out like shout.
