Random Questions: We All Do Stupid Shit Edition

Here we are once again, with a new segment of Random Questions! We've all done stupid things, like let our emotions get the better of us during a campaign, or say something really stupid to make an otherwise harmless political statement, or continue to leak photos of ourselves posing for the camera in a sexual nature, so here are my questions about the stupid people pull. Enjoy, and feel free to answer back.

- Why do Obama supporters (myself included) and Hillary supporters forget that either candidate would be better than the alternative of four more years of neocon policy running the Oval Office? First off, earlier this week, I made a huge ass of myself by blindly jumping on the media bandwagon over Hillary's gaff about the RFK remarks. For that, this rant is directed at myself, fellow Obama backers and supporters of the former First Lady: It's time we all grew the fuck up and put an end to this bitch-fighting. It's one thing to feel passionate about your candidate, it's another thing entirely to say we're going to vote for McCain or vote independently as atonement. And after all the talk of taking back the White House from the GOP and all the campaigning we've done, what will have voting for the other side accomplish? It's past time we ended these immature online chatroom fights and come together as one party by August in Denver whoever the nominee maybe.

- Why is Miley Cyrus stripping for the camera, again, after all the flack she took from the Vanity Fair photo shoot fiasco? Jesus girl, you are aware that there's an invention out there called "the Internet" which people can, from anywhere around the world, see you in all of your...ahem...natural beauty, right? As I said before, this ain't the first time she's stripped for the camera, and somehow I doubt it'll be the last time, either. Miley, be smart about this. You have a tweener base that looks up to you and parents who believe that you're a sweetheart with a squeaky-clean background. You're not helping your own cause by doing shit like this. Plus, there's a time and place for every young girl to get in-touch with their inner skank: we call it college, Halloweeen, and Girls Gone Wild. Now, it's all well and good to come to terms for a young girl to flirt with her sexual nature (shit, it's the reason why we have junior and senior year in high school), but in the case of young Miley, she needs to learn at leas this helpful hint: if you're going to act like a normal teenage girl who's testing her sexuality, then don't post your pictures on your MySpace for the whole damn world to see!

- Why must Hillary Clinton continue to make stupid remarks without thinking? Of course, the big story last week was the infamous remarks about Robert Kennedy and how Hill had to apologize for them. What we need to remember is that most, if not all of the time, she means to make a calculated point about her opponent, Senator Obama. Unfortunately, she hasn't shown when to stop, think about what she means to say, then go forth and make her point. Take for example, her comments about how she's winning the working class vote:

"I have a much broader base to build a winning coalition on that found how Sen. Obama's support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans, is weakening again..."

Of course, this set off another shitstorm for Clinton, with accusations of racial undertones. Now, if Hillary had taken a moment about what she was going to say, and re-word the structure of her argument, her argument would've been something along the lines of what my efriend and Clinton supporter Kim, PbD. said:

"Obama doesn't seem to be a good closer at this point, and frankly I'm worried about his connection with the blue collar of America."

In case you haven't noticed by now, her verbal judgment has been a big factor into why she is loosing this nomination fight to Obama, and the sad thing here is that i'm certain that she means well wen she speaks (at least, I hope she means well).
