The Election

As I was reading through websites and newspapers to find a topic for my blog, I was getting very frustrated.  Almost every article that I found had something to do with the election that is coming up on Tuesday. Don't get me wrong, I understand how important elections are.  I realize that these people represent us.  We are very lucky to be able to  vote and have some say who leads our country.

Why can't they just tell us what their platform is and let it stand at that.  Do they have to spend billions of dollars to put down their opponent and to tell us every thing their opponent has done wrong.  Even is some of what they say is not entirely true. Every other commercial on television is an ad for one politician or another. I get very irritated with all the money that is spent on these ads, billboards, phone calls and if I get one more flyer on my car, I think I will blow a gasket.

If the general public is anything like me they have decided who they are going to vote for months ago.  All the ads haven't and won't change my mind.  As a matter of fact when I see all the money that is wasted, it almost makes me not want to vote for any of them.  Most of what they say, they don't do anyway.  I just pick the one who has the same morals and convictions that I do.  And I believe that is what most people do.

Maybe they should take some of the money they spend on these elections and put it toward the deficit, or donate it to people that really need it.  I know that would never happen, but it is a suggestion.

\So, I for one will be very happy when November 2nd is gone.  Then I can watch my shows on television without having to watch political commercials.
