First Blog Post

FABULOUS. I have unblocked since they know I'm not a spam blog. So this first post is to share exactly how SICK I am of the election baloney going on and to wish that it was November 4th already. I mean I tried to be an educated and responsable voter. I watched the first debate and I tried to watch the Veep debate. Xavier clearly was frustrated and annoyed that I replaced his cute, red furry friend Elmo with Joe Biden and Sarah Palin who are not nearly as cute and adorable. He vetoed the watching of the debate, but I did catch the first few minutes of it. I started to watch debate Redux 2, but here's my biggest gripe: Why do the candidiated simply keep repeating the same mantras over and over again and not ever actually answer the questions they are asked? I mean if i had a nickel for every time McCain or Palin said "maverick", I could single-handedly bail out the country myself. Not that Obama and Biden are immune, because the same goes for "we can't afford more of the same." Does it seem like this has been going on forever already? My grandmother said that maybe it just seems that way, because the campaign started back in March before the candidiates were even confirmed. Maybe that is the case, and I'm suffering from a HUGE case of voter fatigue. Don't get me wrong, I am still voting in November, but as far as I'm concerned I could probably turn off the tv, radio, and never log on to the CNN politics site or factcheck.org until 11/4 and be just fine. I mean I've had my decision made since March and nothing has even come close to changing my opinion yet. I understand that people are undecided but would anyone object if I declared the election was happening tomorrow? Or better yet, could someone convince me why another 20 some-odd days of this ridiculousness is good for me or the country?
