Back from the Polls

I was the second person through my polling location. In and out before 6:30am.

The first time I was eligable to vote in an election was 2000. Since then, I have missed one primary election. It was when I was in college and I didn't get the absentee request sent in. In every election, when I vote I have gone into the booth knowing who I would cast a ballot for.

That is until today. When I closed the curtain and looked down at the names, I still didn't have my decision made. It was a scary feeling, and it is a testament to the state of politics in this country.

In the end I voted on my conscience and my knowledge, and I can live with the choice.

I voted...I stood in the ballot box for a while though.

I hate it when your only choices are DUMB and DUMBER.

In the end it doesn't matter who we vote for. As the saying goes the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. So I say let's all get drunk & say the hell with politics we were born free and plan on staying that way! They may have taken the cigarettes away but they are not going to get my chocolate!

I voted for the closest thing to a conservative that I felt had a chance in hell of winning, Romney. McCain won, and looks like he's going to win the republican nomination. Thus, in November I'll be voting Dem.
