It seems like my good friend Chris Knight is becoming Nancy Reagan as he is telling people to "Just Say No." But, he is not referring to meth, coke or pot, but rather the presidential election.
Knight, who is known nationally for his impressive Star Wars-themed tv ad which ran while he was trying to get on the Rockingham County School Board, made a post on his blog which features a video of his phone call to Reidsville, NC tv station Star 39 in which declared that neither Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama or John McCain was worth a person's vote.
Knight remains an ardent Ron Paul supporter even though Sen. McCain is now the GOP nominee.
In his phone call, Knight declared that the combined presidencies of Bill Clinton and George W. Bush have produced 16 years of chaos, corruption and lies.
"I'm so frustrated right now with the choices..........I'm just going to sit this one out," Knight said in his phone call to Star 39.
He also added on his blog that:
"Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil."
Knight said no one could ever accuse him of apathy or not caring about politics as he registered to vote the day after he turned 18, but he did not want to see America ruined by inept leadership anymore.
On the other side of the political spectrum, Cenk Uygur, a fellow Turkish-American Democrat (who used to be a Republican) is vocally endorsing Obama, which puts us at odds because I moved to the Hillary corner (after initially supporting Bill Richardson and John Edwards), ironically because the Armenian lobby is more supportive of Obama (my apologies to Armenian activist Appo Jabarian. Then again, ethnic politics being what it is- I take that back- LOL!).
Uygur openly went after Hillary Clinton's 3 a.m. phone ad in a recent broadcast saying that the ad was effectively a Karl Rove scare tactic in a recent broadcast.
Uygur, who is among the leading liberal talk show hosts in America, also says that Obama has a better vision for America's future than the New York senator.
This week, Uygur's show "The Young Turks" put together a hilarious mock tribute to fallen Republican candidates. The best footage in the video was Mitt Romney posing and later hugging African American children. Hillary would have probably looked more comfortable at a gun show.
Tomorrow should be interesting because Dick Cheney's home state could actually help determine the Democratic nominee as the race heads to Wyoming. My only visit to that state was to a rodeo in Cheyenne some ten years ago where I feltabout as comfortable as Hillary would at a gun show! (though there were some attractive women wearing boots and cowboy hats there. Alas, they were probably all Republicans).
I also ate Rocky Mountain oysters while I was in Cheyenne, Wyo. I don't recommend that either Hillary or Obama try that...............but, if they do the food poisoning they get could help determine a Democratic candidate well before the convention.
