Writer's Block: Vote early, vote often

What issues???? All the guys running in Tennessee are too busy attacking their opponent to discuss their position on issues. People are so stupid. They expect a president to fix in two years what the Republicans screwed up in 8 years. And don't even talk about that crap about it was Clinton's fault. If it was heading down when Bush took office, he had 8 years to fix it. Now we're going to fill the Congress with the same guys who got us in this mess.

Another thing we're going to elect a doctor to Congress. A DOCTOR with no political experience and he's going to "REPEAL OBAMACARE" all by himself. Congress is a political machine, let's face it. Putting a doctor in is like putting a lamb in a lion's cage.

For governor here our choice is a Republican who is a nut and I mean he is a nut and a democrat who is an alcoholic. Who did I vote for. *SIGH* I just wish the candidates would run ads telling us what their values are, what their opinions are. How they feel about the issues that are important to Americans.

BTW the last time Tennessee put a doctor in the Senate he, after being their a quarter of his term, didn't show up for most of the votes thereafter nor did he run for another term. I am frustrated.

Let the flames begin.

I vote on the issues. I now categorically refuse to vote for any Republican. While this wasn't always the case (back when the Republican party actually still retained a tiny snippet of integrity), that party has moved so far to the right (and now with this "tea party" crap), I find their views completely reprehensible. If they're not just flat out saying NO to everything... if they're actually taking any kind of action, it's to give more tax breaks to rich people and corporations, cut funding of essential social services & infrastructure, drive up the deficit by pouring more money (not to mention young folks' lives and limbs) into unnecessary/illegal wars, take away other people's civil rights, and create new & improved racist and homophobic policies.

In any case, I always ALWAYS vote, even when I have no enthusiasm for any of the candidates and even when it's a choice of the "least worst." It's my duty as a citizen to make my voice heard and to participate in the process. Besides, voting gives me the justification to bitch and moan and rant and rave when things aren't going the way I want them to. ;)
