Voting

This morning I sat down with my ballot and voters guides. I looked over all the candidates, I thought over all the ads I have seen, the debates, the websites and the personal opinions of my family and friends.

I could only fill out 3 spots on that ballot. And they were not the big 3.

I simply cannot bring myself to vote right now. I want to just rip up my ballot and toss it away. But I live in a country with a vote for a reason, and I need to uphold my end of the bargain.

When it comes to president, I was always mad at people who voted for John Kerry simply because he wasn't Bush. I have always thought it is a stupid way to make a choice, "well, he isn't the other guy" but that is exactly how I feel about McCain. To me that is the only reason I see voting for him, he isn't Obama. I mean, sure I agree with some of the ideas he has for this country, but on the things that really matter to me, on the things I think are most important for this nation, I just want to beat him upside the head!

And I have considered 3rd party candidates, but the only ones close to what I believe in call this country the "American Empire" and tout a isolationist mentality similar to those who wanted us to stay out of WW2. I don't want that! I don't want McCain, I don't want Obama, I don't want Smith, I don't want Merkley, I don't want Shrader and I don't want Erickson!

I feel like writing in "Jesus Christ" or something similar, I want to write in Mitt Romney for pres, since, as you know if you have read my other post, I never got to vote for my candidate due to the f***ed way the nominees can be kicked out before every state gets a freaking vote. I wish I was 17 again, just so I wouldn't have to think about it.

America is going to Hell in a hand basket and if we look at our voting options we just might see why.

I WANT THIS!

This is so cool! It is a bike and a stroller, they hook together and look all cool. Plus it's all forward facing so your kids (or your puppy!) can see where you are going, plus all the space can be used for shopping and such! Only real issue is that it costs almost $4,000.00. I bit too much for me. I hope this becomes super popular and cheaper versions will come out.
