I've been giving quite a bit of thought to what's happening with the candidates who are running for various offices this year. Seems like every time you turn around one is bad mouthing the other. Geez, what are you people?....grade school kids?
Seems to me all of the personal attacks on each other are about the mentality of elementary school age children. With each 'pot' calling the 'kettle' black, how can they realistically expect any type of respect from the voters?
Recently, I received one of those 'political' phone calls where the person was asking if I was supporting their party's candidate. Ok, first off, I am a registered voter which is how you have my phone number to begin with...secondly, how dare you even ask how I intend to vote! My vote is no one's business except mine. As the questions continued, the caller was attempting to make sure I'm an 'informed' voter, the gal kept asking if I was aware I could vote early in our county. HELLO....this isn't my first time voting...yes, I'm aware of where the early voting polling places are located and NO I do not intend to vote early. The fine print of absentee and early voting indicates that these votes are not tallied right away.
With all of the chaos surrounding the last major election in Florida...I would want to chance my vote not counting WHY??? Can you say I DO NOT TRUST our system??? I will go to the polls on election day and cast my vote then. Who I vote for and why....that is for me to live with and no one else's business.
