Candidate Bashing; America’s Favorite Pasttime.

Later, when the voters cried out for her to do something uncharacteristically brilliant and bring back their jobs, she finally re-opened the prison but only for "out of state" prisoners, so the state can make some extra money from the other states who send us their prisoners. Like my state doesn’t make enough of its own law breakers, we have to have them shipped in from all over the country. I wonder if those people who used to work at the prison got their old jobs back, or did they have to sit there and watch other people get hired in their places? I don’t know if a Republican Governor could do any better or not, but I for one, am definitely ready for a change, and quick.

Campaigning itself is becoming more and more difficult to comprehend all the time, especially for those people who are not particularly interested in politics, and there are a lot of intelligent people out there who fit into that category. It is almost as if the new candidates from both sides are trying to confuse their voters, and it would not surprise me in the least to discover that even fewer people go out to the polling places when the time comes, simply because they are so mixed up on who is doing what and who believes what.

You see, this year the candidates are trying something brand new. They are experimenting, if you will, with their political commercials, trying new things and hoping to gather new interest. It is not working tthe way they had planned, but is serving to only annoy people more than usual. The new plan? To make commercials that do not promote the candidate as either Republican or Democrat. You will not see a political commercial on television these days, that will tell you which idiocy the candidate belongs to. As a person who will only vote Republican, I find this extremely aggravating, especially when they tentatively tippy-toe around the "delicate" issues like abortion and gay rights.

I like it when the candidate gets these delicate issues right up front so I know immediately who to vote for and who not to. When they beat around the bush hoping to get people to vote the "other way" and elect that particular candidate, they are only managing to make voters look elsewhere for a candidate to elect, if they can find one. And if they actually do manage to find someone, then the bashing gets in the way and once again, the viewing audience is annoyed rather than convicted. There are other methods of self-promotion besides face slapping and foot stomping. That one man had the right idea, just promote your own goods and leave the bashing for the two hulks in the boxing ring.
