Disclaimer: This is a rant... Nothing more...
So, I realized a few days ago that the election is coming up and I had done NOTHING to prepare myself to make an educated vote on anything... Not a smart move.
So I decided to take some time out of my weekend and brush up on the issues and learn a little bit more about the presidential candidates. It's nice to know what I'll be voting on when Tuesday rolls around, but I'm SO FRUSTRATED!!! Today's time, checking out the candidates had affirmed one thing in me.
I HATE POLITICS!!!
All I read is, "vote for me because I'll do this and so-and-so will only do that," or "I'm a better candidate because I care about your needs and so-and-so says he does, but he really doesn't."
The one that takes the cake: One argument claimed that the the person it represented was a better candidate because the opposing candidate voted with his party 97% of the time..." I might be completely ignorant, but this seems like the most ridiculous argument ever...
Why can't we stop trash-talking each other and just get along!!? I don't think Jesus would care which party you are affiliated with... Presidential election year is no excuse to be a jerk...
I'm totally an advocate for voting. go vote, but BE NICE ABOUT IT!!

I think most of us agree with you. I'm voting for Mickey! :) (ok probably not, but it seems like a good choice)
I couldn't agree with you more... that is what has been disgusting me during this entire election process. At this point, John and I have determined it best to focus on props and assemblymen ...since they seem to affect our government in more ways anyways. I'm of course voting for prop eight... but other than that... I just can't wait for elections to be over so I don't have hear all this garbage talking, mud-slinging anymore!
I was hanging out with friends in Portland who said they knew people whose friendships had been ruined over this election. The whole thing is ridonculous. We have become so divided squabbling over party politics that hardly anything gets done.
I know, huh? So lame!
