Elections

Dear blogosphere,

I'm catching up on my NPR Story of the Day podcasts here at the office and the April 4th story is about the Democratic race. It sounds like some ridiculous people who call themselves Democrats are feeling so polarized by the Clinton V. Obama race that they will vote McCain if their Democrat of choice is not elected.

This...is stupid.

Personally, I think I prefer Obama over Clinton. One thing that is 100% certain though, is that I do not support McCain. And the most important thing for this upcoming election is that we not have another Republican voted in for four more disastrous years. I don't care if you like Hilary better or if you think Barack is the right candidate - you just better not go screwing up the election for everyone else in the country by voting for McCain out of adolescent spite! Are these people kidding me? Grow up! Great idea - vote for McCain and you'll really show those other Democrats! Morons. Ugh. I'm just so disgusted with some people. Put away your stupid "I support Clinton/Obama" stickers, magnets, yard signs and try to think with more than .5% of your brain! It doesn't really matter all that much if Clinton wins or Obama wins, what does matter is that McCain does not. It should now be your goal, if you call yourself a Democrat - to get a Democrat elected. At this point any Democrat will be a step (or 20) up from our current situation.

What about staying home on election day? Is that ok?

No you big meat head - staying home is not OK. Being lazy is not a form of protest. That would only be effective if 80% of voters stayed home, so unless you're going to organize a nation wide protest your butt better be at the poles!
