Hooray, I'm very excited... yay.

Yippie... yeah.

 

Gee, who do I vote for. Lets check the options, shall we?

A) Socialist

 

B) Vey, Very Socialist

 

Hmmm..... what to do?

 

As I've stated in this blog many many times, I'm a Libertarian. I hate the Republicans and despise the Democrats. National elections are a time of depression for me. Especially since the Republican party has become a party of goons, idiots and liars. Yes, I said liars. They call themselves conservatives and blame the Democrats for being too liberal. Then when it's time to vote, they act just as irresponsible. Don't get me wrong, the Democrats made lying into an artform.

Shit. I hate voting anymore. It's become such a popularity and beauty contest. Lincoln wouldn't have stood a chance today. Who are these people that want to become our leaders and decide to pursue that power? In today's age it is easier to find out who these people really are. It is also easier to give in to all the abundant disinformation that is out there. Here's a tip: If you saw it on a commercial, forget it because it's at least a partial, if not a total lie. Try not to even watch them at all if you can help it.

Here's what you do, if you haven't already done so.

First: Figure out where you are politically. Are you a conservative or a liberal? Maybe you're somewhere in between. Most people are somewhere in the middle. Here's a test that will give you an idea. Before you start on me, I know it's not the only or the best test, and it's not without it's criticisms, but it's a short test and pretty accurate.

Now that you have an idea where you stand, you need to find out where the politcal parties stand. I would take the time to read their platforms. The all have websites that list the platforms. I know, you're saying that you vote for person, not the party. Well, if the person is inclined to vote with the party, you better educate yourself.

Now that you have an idea where you stand, and where they stand, choose a party that meets YOUR ideals. It's not enough to just get more people to get out and vote. The uneducated really should just stay home. If you can't make an educated informed decision, do us all a favor and go see Beverly Hills Chihuahua instead.

This is how I became a Libertarian. Maybe they are not powerful and perhaps a Libertarian will never make it to the White House. At least I can say that I know the issues, I know the stakes, I know who these people and parties are and when I vote, I know what I'm doing.
