As a loyal citizen who enjoys putting her nose in everything, I was excited to get up and go vote this morning. I already have my "I'm a Georgia Voter!" peach sticker, see:
One thing that I have noticed that is so different from past elections is the surprising number of Libertarian candidates on the ballot. This is extremely amusing. Now we have 3 choices, it's like choosing between a giant douche, a turd sandwich, and a 10 year old happy meal. On the outside, the Libertarian party is exciting, and promises a toy, but once you open it up, your fries are cold and stale and your toy is gone and it's basically the same as the other shit.
Campaigns are nasty. Campaigns ads are super nasty. Like, Snookie nasty.
Campaigns are brutal, ugly, and ridiculous. Here in Georgia, the race for governor has gotten disgusting and hateful. Nathan Deal (R) is apparently a bag of slippery snakes who loves rapists. Roy Barnes (D) supposedly wants to give licenses to illegal immigrants while making sure that child molesters are hanging out waiting to touch their illegal children. I'm waiting for ads that say things like "Nathan Deal: he eats babies!" and "Roy Barnes loves to beat up senior citizens." I mean, if we are going to get ridiculous, why don't we go all the way?
Who believes this bullshit?! Why do I have to put up with it for an entire month before I go vote? And whose bad fucking idea was this anyway?!
I wish that the candidates would spend their money on ads that tell us in a straight forward and plain way what their stance on the issues is. Seriously.
So go to your Secretay of State website, and make your choices before you go to the polls. Find the Douche, Turd, or Stale French Fry that is right for you. Use the only real voice you have in our government and vote.
It's fucking important.
DO NOT let this hinder you in your quest for a shiny new voting sticker!
Also, if you check in at your polling place on Foursquare, you get a badge! Sweet!
