Last night held the vice-presidential debate. I didn't see it ... yet. But all day today, I've been hearing about how Biden was disrespectful towards Ryan, laughing at him and interrupting him, apparently 82 times, according to The Washington Examiner. I do plan on catching the broadcast sometime soon to see what all the hoo-ha was about and form my own opinion but for now I have another sentiment I'd like to share ... in case you were interested.
On the many social media platforms that I waste a lot of time on, lately there's enough people posting their views and judgement of the matters involving the upcoming election. Some of them can get very heated, as is expected. Personally, for the sake of argument, I stay neutral. I'm very cautious about what I may post in response to any of these convictions, if I even chose to do so; posting to any of these threads can get you caught up like Tiger Woods and his female trysts. I'm also never one-sided. I have an opinion and I know who I'm voting for but I'll never reveal it ... you'd never know. I'm mysterious like that.
Politics has never been something I've ever been interested in. I graduated high school in '95 but the '08 election was the first time I ever voted. I had a hard time choosing at that election. Which is why, I guess, I never voted before then. Honestly, I don't really believe ANY of these politicians. I think they're all full of it but I do believe that as my God-given, Constitutional right, I must make a decision.
EVERYONE WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO VOTE, MUST VOTE!
I keep reading about folks saying they're not going to vote because they don't believe in anything any of the candidates stand for. Really, c'mon?! Not voting is as ignorant as a moth drifting into an open fire. We were all given a freedom to vote, one that should not be taken lightly. I get it. I didn't vote for years but I was tired of getting burned. This whole "who should I vote for" thing can be overwhelming so let me break it down for you ...
... Think of one topic or subject that you whole-heartedly believe in; Now, which candidate supports this?
BINGO! There you go! That's who you vote for. Don't make it too complicated.
And don't be a wuss and not vote, then when the country's gone in the can you're like "I would've never voted for that douche bag," (in Napoleon Dynamite impression).
Take a stand. Take responsibility. Do your part. If anything, at least your vote can keep the lessor of two evils out of the highest position in the country. Ha, you never thought of it that way, did you?
It's not about what side you're on - if you're red or blue. At the end of the day, we're ALL red, white, AND blue! I take that seriously. So should you. ---> VOTE!
