*Disclaimer* I know that the subject of politics tends to get people all riled up. I apologize in advance if anyone is offended by this post. I was complaining to Trevor last night and he said, "Hey, why don't you blog about this". I think that is code for "Stop talking to me about this."
I can't wait until November. I'm so so so tired of all of this election talk I could just scream! Haven't we been hearing about it daily for oh about two years now??? Enough already! I am so tired of the candidates bashing each other. I get so confused by it all and bored by the whole thing that my eyes glaze over and I feel like saying, "Wake me up when it is over."
Honestly I know very little about politics, except I know that I hate it. I have no idea at this point who I am going to vote for and frankly at this point (gasp) I.don't.care. I couldn't tell you who feels what way about foreign policy, or the energy crisis, or the huge amount of debt that our nation is in. Which brings me to my next point...
Last night I was at work, working the evening shift. That means helping people with dinner, bed baths and getting "tucked in" for the night. So I was in and out of patient rooms all night long. The Democratic Convention (probably not even the right name for it) was on EVERY channel. So I couldn't help seeing it. And all I could think was....how much MONEY is being spent on this?? And (correct me if I'm wrong) wasn't the whole point of it to officially declare Obama the candidate for the Democratic party? What?? Seriously. Do they really need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on that? On telling us something we already know?? Am I missing something here? The amount of money that is being spent on this election absolutely sickens me.
Our nation has HUGE debt, there are people living in poverty, there are working class families who can barely feed their children...and millions of dollars have been spent on this election. What a waste. And dare I use a strong word like unethical??
Only two more months. Wake me up when it is over.
Stepping off of my soapbox now. Next week I will climb right back on and tell you how I feel about vending machines in schools. Stay tuned.

A-M-E-N!!! I hate it!
Preach it sistah. And the local politics are just as bad. I got no less than 14 (yes FOURTEEN) poltical mailings today.
Save your money people.
I 100% agree! Nothing drives me more crazy than listening to this political crap day in and day out! I know I am a terrible person and have never voted, but I don't vote cause by the time the election finally gets here; I don't care anymore!!
DITTO. I CONCUR. AMEN. You are being WAY too reasonable to be understood by any politician. Bless us all.
I love your blogs! I couldn't believe the hoopla over the Democratic convention either. At work on Monday night we had to stay until 1:30 am because flights out of Denver were delayed for security purposes. I would've never thought the Denver convention would affect me so adversely her in Utah.
Yep, you hit the nail on the head. I purposely didn't watch ANY of it because i'm so disgusted with those people.
