It's Election Day
Weee! Yes, it is! I just got my ballot in the mail!
In our state, we vote by mail. Not an absentee or special request ballot or anything, the whole state votes by mail. Does anyone else do that? I need to look that up, hmmm... Washington state? But not all of it. What? Are you kidding me? I live in the greatest state in the Union! Think of me on November 4th while you're trying to make time and driving around like a maniac and then standing in line for hours to vote.
I can't believe there are still people undecided on how they're going to vote.
If you haven't decided who you're going to vote for by now, maybe you just shouldn't vote. If you are basing your decisions based solely on the debates, you're LAZY and are not going to get completely accurate information from either candidate. They're going to say things and stretch the truth because they know that's what is going to stick in voter's minds. It's not the talent competition of a beauty contest (because if it were, Obama would win, hee!).
Do your research. Research the history of the different parties and what they stand for. Find out how much you agree or disagree. Make up your mind NOW or get the Hell out, OK?
Stupid people shouldn't be allowed to vote, either.
Take the stupid woman who got a hold of the microphone at a McCain rally and expressed her distrust of Obama:
"I've read about him...he's a ARAB."
She's read about him alright; in a fucking viral e-mail on her computer.
"I seen it!"
I can't believe anyone that dumb can work a computer and git her e-mail. Maybe her daughter in law received that e-mail and printed it out. And then had to read it to the dumb old broad.
The sad thing? That ignoramus of a woman was actually at a McCain rally, in person, which means she's probably going to vote.
And sign her name with an "x".
That's some fucking scary shit.
*shivers*
There should be some basic questions before you fill out the ballot-
My husband, who is old and Republican, has a few friends who are more conservative (and less educated) than he is and one of them, who I actually like and think is a nice person, forwarded one of those "Fwd:Fwd:" emails to him that said something to the effect that Obama is a radical Muslim sympathizer.
Ooo-boy, and I saw it.
So there was my opportunity to "Reply All" (from my husband's name, tee-hee!) to about 100 people and set the record straight. I said, "Before you forward emails with untrue 'facts about Obama', do your homework so you don't appear to be stupid," and I linked to factcheck.org where it talks about that exact email.
You know what's funny? Not a single reply. Why is that? I mean, I know these are people who mainly use their computer for the email and constantly send the "Fwd: Fwd:" shit ALL THE TIME, you know the type, the stuff I usually delete without reading. Maybe I worded it a little too harshly? With the, "so you don't appear to be stupid" remark?
Oh well. I don't care. Dipshits.
Seriously, if you're going to glean your facts from an e-mail, put down your pen and step away from the voting booth.
Or in my case, the kitchen table.
Daily Prayer:
It's almost over!
What do you think of Vote by Mail?
Jealous?

There should be some basic questions before you fill out the ballot-
"Is Obama an Arab?" Yes or No.
If you answered "yes", then Beep! You're stupid! Your ballot is rejected!
"Where you impressed with Governor Palin's interview with Katie Couric, especially her viewsofon Russia?" Yes or No.
If you answered "yes", then Beep! You're stupid! Your ballot is rejected!
That interview was impressive alright, if you put it in the category of "Comedy Routine". It was funnier than Tina Fey's impressions of Palin on SNL.
"Does John McCain have an illegitimate daughter who is black?" Yes or No.
If you even care, then Beep! You're stupid! Your ballot is rejected!
His daughter is adopted from an orphanage, but even so, it shouldn't fucking matter. Bush used that smear campaign tactic against McCain's family when he wanted the GOP nomination in 2000, and it worked, because at least half of the American people are stupid cows who believe everything they hear or read in an e-mail.
