I for one thank God that the elections are just about over. I cannot stand the news yapping about every inconsequential thing regarding the candidates. All the pundits and analysts are nothing but bags of hot air arm chair quarterbacking and wasting air time while getting paid for it! It almost makes me yearn for the days when CNN & MSNBC masqueraded as Brittany watch which was *almost* as annoying.
Call me un-American, unpatriotic, or what else you can think of but no I don’t bother voting. After the whole Florida debacle and with the accuarcy of electronic voting machines in question I have to wonder if every vote really does count. Even if every vote does count, chances are whoever gets into office will go back on all their promises as usual. Not that it’s entirely the candidates fault the public expects each and every president to practically be superman and fix all their problems. If candidates don’t promise do so they simply won’t be elected.
Whether McCain or Obama are elected chances are the new president will spend the first couple of months in office doing favors for their biggest campaign contributors. Nothing new here whether it be “America First” or “Change we can believe in”.
