Not Your Typical Election Day Post
Unlike a lot of people bloggers, I'm not going to sit here and remind you to go vote.
Because, quite frankly, I couldn't care less if you do or not.
I try to stay out of politics, for the most part. I've seen it cause way too many arguments over the years.
The following statement will probably result in a loss of followers, but who cares...
Truth be told, I never registered to vote.
I've never been interested in politics (in the least) and let's be honest here--my one measly vote will not make a difference.
When asked who I would vote for, I said "Oh, I don't know, probably Romney."
Friend: "Why?"
Me: "Because he seems to be for the rich people."
Friend: "You aren't rich."
Me: "No, but I don't like my hard earned tax dollars going to Joe Shmoe sitting over there on his unemployed, disabled butt.
Friend: "You clearly haven't followed the debates."
Me: "Nope, and that's why I'm not voting."
If you are an Obama fan (which a lot of people seem to be), I bet you're glad I'm not taking my politically uneducated rear to the polls.
If you're a Romney fan, I have my fingers crossed for you!
If you're going to leave me nasty comments about how it's my civic duty or Christian obligation to vote, save it for a non-voting blogger who cares, because I sure as heck don't!
Regardless of who wins, the sun will come up tomorrow (unless you live in a Rain Forest, prone to rain) and the world will keep spinning (which is a weird concept, if you think about it).
On the other hand, here is what I would vote for:
Stop giving deadbeat parents repeated chances to get their children back. One strike, you're out.
Student Debt forgiveness. Those MBA loans are going to suck!
4 day work weeks
Cheap gas
Lower taxes (which every President promises)
Weight Watchers Point values on every product so I don't have to sit and calculate everything I shove into my mouth.
Oh and, every person will have to pass tests in order to reproduce. None of this having 9 kids by 8 different daddies, living off the government crap.
Try isidewith.com it's pretty fun! (You seem pretty republican/libertarian to me, which is what I am)
ReplyDeleteIt's not too difficult to find a couple things you support a candidate on. I really hope you change your mind one day and vote, it's a pretty cool privilege we have!
But hey, as long as I don't hear you complaining about anything economy related in the next 4 years, it's your choice.
I don't follow politics either.
ReplyDeleteI would vote on those same things with you! Great post :)
I got a bunch of stares from my coworkers yesterday when I admitted that i'm not registered. But the way I see it, it doesn't do anybody any good for me to vote when I don't know what the hell I'm doing. Gradually I am becoming more and more aware of everything that goes on in politics, but I am not educated enough to put in my 2 cents on who the president should be and what referendums should be passed. Also, I get so damn sick of seeing all the political ads that just bash their opponents that I don't feel like I want to vote for ANY of the people who are so immature that they have to result to name calling and bullying to get a vote.
ReplyDeleteHaha, I'm with you on the WW points. Hello, I don't feel like calculating all that shiz!
ReplyDeleteAll of the, "Go vote!" Facebook posts/Tweets/Blogs are so annoying.
I vote. I don't feel the need to talk about it, or tell anyone to go do it.
word.
ReplyDeleteYou'd totally have my vote;)
ReplyDeleteLOL to the WW points on everything...that would be so freaking handy!!!
I can't stop laughing at "Regardless of who wins, the sun will come up tomorrow (unless you live in a Rain Forest, prone to rain) and the world will keep spinning (which is a weird concept, if you think about it)."
ReplyDeleteI jut can't wait for it all to be over. I'm so sick of hearing about it.
ReplyDeleteI don't judge people for not voting...I'm more judgmental of the ignorant rants that the "voters" are spurting. I voted, but very few people even know who I voted for. Someone's ALWAYS going to get pissed off, so I'd rather just not divulge. Let's just say I have similar views to yours, and NEITHER candidate can accommodate them, so eff them both. Haha.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel. Right now my main concern is staying off Facebook. lol. These status' are killing me. I hope you've been well, hun. If you get a sec, I'd love if you'd check out my latest outfit post. xo

I like your last bit about tests to reproduce. Control yourselves if you can't handle it for crying out loud!!!

Pahahaha! I love your requirements for president.
ReplyDeleteI loved this post. Particularly the part about weight watchers points. Lol
ReplyDeleteLove this too, because I'm the same way. I let my husband choose what to vote and then copy him.
ReplyDeletePartially, because I know our world is broken, and the president won't really matter - but mostly because the idea of american politics peeves me and I don't want to subscribe to it.
