Red White and Blue Sheep

Today is election day and I am thoroughly excited. It means that all of this political non-sense is coming to a close, well at least all the major campaigning. I really could care less who any of the big celebrities are backing in the election and really hope that those who made statements, that if John McCain is elected they will leave the country, keep true to their word. I don't follow politics nor do I really fully understand all the nuances of what is said and what it really means, but I am not a blind sheep in a herd of millions. If I hear some one say, "This is the biggest election of our lifetime," again I will have to kick some ass. The cliches seem to be endless and truthfully meaningless, at least from the people saying them. The divisiveness of the two parties just makes me sick to my stomach. I don't see any candidate that truly understands anything other than their own political prow less, and wants anything other than power. I am not convinced that their agendas don't trump the need of the people or the nation. Vote for whoever you want to, but it should be said that voting should be done with a little bit of research. Don't just vote because some celebrity told you to, or vote for someone a prominent figure is backing. Vote or Die, or Rock the Vote are just lame attempts at brainwashing mindless drones into unconsciously backing their man. Anyhow, once again I will state I will be glad when this political season is over.
