Politics Suck
I’m really sick of politics. Why is that every election season we seem forced to choose the lesser evil? I swear, between ads from McCain / Obama, Madia / Paulson, and Coleman /Franken, I really want to shoot my TV. I am actually happy when an ad comes on TV that is for a product or service, and not for one of these jerks. I welcome the marketing exec’s of Proctor & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, Ford, GM, hell–I even like promos for stupid reality shows better than I like watching political smear campaigns.
Since we’re less than a month away from going to the polls, I actually feel the need to start caring about this stuff, and I’m so sick of Al Franken and Norm Coleman I could puke. I watched the some of the debate, this week and in all honesty, Dean Barkley didn’t impress me any more or less than the other two, but honestly it was just refreshing to know that there was a 3rd option besides tweetle-dee and tweetle-dum.
Independent in Minnesota? That could never happen!
I didn’t give it too much thought, because the general consensus is that voting for a 3rd party is throwing your vote away. But this morning I heard that Franken is leading Coleman 38% to 36%, with Barkley at 18% leaving 8% undecided. 18% for an independent? That’s not bad folks! Do you know what that is? Hope!
Ok, some of you are probably pretty far on one side or the other. But I beg you, just check out Dean Barkley, read his stance on the issues, and ask your self if this guy isn’t better than either of the other two candidates. I think everyone can agree that “partisan politics” (cliche, pukety-puke-puke) are bogging down Washington, and I for one would rather send an Independent senator there, than a Demo, or Repo. That’s all.

Oh, and I’m starting a twitter hashtag: #votefordean. If you’re with me (even if you’re only 18% with me) give a shout out to #votefordean.

We finally agree on something! I decided last night my MN Senate vote was going to Mr. Barkley (I listened to the Senate debates) – As I cannot stand Al Frankenstein, and Norm Coleman voted so much pork this past term it makes me want to puke – I don’t agree with Mr. Barkely on a few issues, but the majority of them I do support so there we go – we see eye to eye on a few things! Love you!
You are a fool, and Franken’s your Senator.
