The Election is Driving Me Crazy
Yup, I’m going there.
The election (all of it–the candidates, the coverage, the constant talk) is driving me crazy. I think I have managed to figure out 3 main reasons why the political season drives me insane.
1) I am totally all over the board when it comes to politics.
2) I HATE being stereotypical in this kind of thing.
3) My extreme cynicism.
First, I am so all over the board that I fit into no categories, and I certainly don’t fit into any political party. I am pro-life but against the death penalty. I think the government should help out those in need, but I think it should happen at the local level. I think all war is bad and should be avoided, but I am not opposed to intervention in certain situations. Agh, I dunno.
Second: I refuse to be just another evangelical voting for the Republican ticket. I also refuse to drink the kool-aid it seems like everyone under the age of 30 is drinking in regards to Obama. AND, I hate the idea of being a single-issue voter.
Thirdly, I hate politics. 4 years ago actually wrote in myself, because Kerry struck me as a skeezy politician and Bush struck me as an idiot. Not that I am in any way qualified (I am not even old enough, according to the Constitution), but I don’t fell any better about the candidates this time around.
Agh, who am I kidding. I just don’t like politics. Well, that ad the fact that I flip-flop worse than Kerry and Romney put together. Maybe it wouldn’t be such a problem if only I could make up my mind…
Hahaha…I think you are feeling the pain of most thinking people this fall. We refuse to be hypnotized by those railing on hot-button issues or mesmerized by pretty people or media spin. And -shocker- most of us realize that there really is a gray area on most issues!
