Angry Is it just me?

Election time and campaign time drives me NUTS!

One of my pet peeves is all the flyers, brochures and things we get in our mail every day about candidates and propositions to be voted on. What a waste. In this day and age - does anyone really read this stuff and depend on it to give them an insight into how they should vote?

Don't get me wrong - I'm very civic minded - I believe in voting and serving on juries - but I get so tired of looking through all this stuff just to find my "real" mail.

Forgive me if you depend on this stuff - I didn't mean to offend you.

Yes, I read all of it. I'm an American Capitalist. It's my duty to know the issues and to vote, although, I sometimes don't know all the issues.

Oddly I love election time!

We get to hear a lot of humor and listen to people tear apart the leaders of our country like it will make them a better person!

Why bother? Mob Rule is of the devil!

Re: Is it just me?

Oh I love America and the freedom we have - and I love to vote.... guess it just got to me today when I had to wade through all the propaganda just to get to the "real" mail.

Believe it or not..... I do try to stay informed as to the issues and candidates - I just don't believe everything that their propaganda tells me about them.
