| | Alright, I am officially sick of politics this election cycle. Thank God the elections are tomorrow. Commercials are officially running 24 hours a day, and since I've been home the last 6 weeks recovering from surgery, I have had the glorious benefit of every last commercial. Musgrave is the best person ever...Musgrave is the most corrupt politician in history. Paccione will defend our seniors and our borders...no, wait-Paccione will in fact personally escort illegals through the desert while handing them someone's pension check. The best thing about all this is that as I look over all the candidates and ballot initiatives on my sample ballot, I discovered that I don't even get to vote for Paccione or Musgrave. So, for the record, I state here that if I had the chance, I would probably pick the Green Party candidate, whomever that might be. Some people might call that a wasted vote...I call that a visible act of protest. If I'm fed up with the current political process, I think it is better to cast a vote for neither candidate than the lesser of two evils. I don't want to not vote, because then I'm just lumped in with the average lazy, ungrateful citizen. I hold precious my right to vote, and I have voted in every election for which I've been eligible. So I'm left usually with the green party, or maybe a libertartian, although their stance on issues is pretty out there. I am a registered republican, and usually I side with my party, with a few notable exceptions. I think our president and his administration have mangled the war, and their lack of recognition of this fact have led to unnecessary American deaths. I'm fed up with the mismanagement of our economy and growing national debt. The problem of course is that democrats rarely have better ideas, and I always have a huge difference of opinion with them on the matter of abortion. This brings me to another point. I understand why people's political affiliation matters to the office of congressperson, or governor, but some of these races don't make any sense. For instance, I have a very clear choice of either a republican or democrat for my county coroner. Can someone explain to me whether or not one party shows substantial differences of opinion with the other on how to examine a dead body? |
