BAD voters

Voting is a big deal. It is up to each person to really look at the issues that are involved and vote for someone based on their ideas, leadership ability, vision for our country, and values. Having put an enormous amount of effort into educating myself on the candidates, I get very frustrated when people don’t put in a minimal amount of effort.

I heard a tremendous example of this yesterday on the radio. Let me just clarify, the clip is from the Howard Stern show, but I was NOT listening to the dirty old man, I was listening to my normal right wing radio wackos. :)



Someone does not have to have a college degree, or even high school education to be able to find out where a candidate stands on the issues; they just have to care enough to want to find out the information. Obviously people don’t.

If you want to vote for Obama because you like his socialist stance on issues and his philosophy that the right government can not only solve all of the domestic, but all of the global problems, then that’s fine. If you want to vote for McCain because you like his fiscal conservatism combined with his desire to fix the global warming hoax and continue the semi-open border policy, that’s fine. If you want to vote for one just to vote AGAINST the other one, that’s fine too. But if you are voting for someone because they seem popular or because you like the way they speak or you think they remind you of your great grandpa, then please, just stay home.

Be educated about the candidates or recuse yourself from the process.
