I, too, am sick of the ads, the crap in the mail, etc. and will be glad when it’s over. So long as my guy wins

[Reply]

I think negative ads and mudslinging should be banned. It’s always taken out of context and twisted to suit the others needs.

I agree with you; I can’t wait until it’s over.

[Reply]

But what about the baby murdering terrorists? Won’t somebody vote for the baby murdering terrorists? Don’t they have a right to representation?

Seriously though, this election has divided the US more than any other I can remember, and that’s including the days following the Bush/Gore election.

[Reply]

I think it’s reprehensible that you haven’t taken a side. I come to this blog for guidance and here you are sitting on the fence. You need to decide which way you’re voting and put it out there. Either you’re a socialist who sees no problem voting in a terrorist like Obama to the White House, or you’re a war mongering Bush supporter and religious zealot rooting for McCain/Palin.

But you know what, I think you’re the stupid one for not taking a side. That means you support terrorism, dead babies, aerial wolf hunting and you wipe your nether regions with the Bible!

I hope that was sarcastic enough and people aren’t already sending me hate mail. But yes, I agree with you. Let’ s just vote and get this thing over with already. Then the finger pointing and blame game can really begin!

[Reply]

You are fabulous, can I send you donuts??

[Reply]

I so badly want campaign reform so that one cannot spend insane amounts of money smearing another, I wish each candidate were given say 500,000 and 3 debates on tv and then we vote…I can think of so many problems solved with the amount of money blown on getting oneself elected.

I cannot wait until its over!

[Reply]

Love you, Becky.

[Reply]

I’m with you, I even volunteer as a techy geek for Obama when I’m not busy boiling kittens, tripping nuns, burning down orphanages and oh yeah, killing babies. I’m a very busy girl. And while this has made me very unpopular to my in-laws eyes and probably lots of other peoples. I love the democratic process, no matter who the crap you are voting for; McCain, Obama, Nader or that porn star in California who keeps runing for political offices.

Even with this unnatural love of politics, I have hit my limit for the hate filled speeches coming from both sides. The negative campaigns for president and every other office that is up for grabs, has me gritting my teeth in annoyance ten times a day.

The righteous blowhards both democrat and republican need to cut the crap, step off the soapbox, go vote and shut the hell up. Voice your opinion with your ballot; not your lawn, television, car bumper or pithy slogan buttons. Respect the fact that everyone has a choice and you can’t bully them to change their mind, no matter how nutter-butters you think they are.

Phew…I feel better. Thanks Aunt Becky!

[Reply]

I will be voting on Saturday, so I can put on my blinders and pretend I didn’t hear the last minute “your candidate is a militant squirrel molestor” that is sure to come out.

I too am sick of this election and all of its stupidity. I hate both candidates equally and am in search of a deserted island to start over.

[Reply]

Barbara walters said the other day that she is so ready for it to be over because it has brought out some much hate and bad behavior on both sides. People are going to vote but i believe they are disgusted with the entire process.

[Reply]

I feel ya – I mean, I can hate Jesus, murder babies, and promote terrorism in my spare time no matter WHO I vote for – so why should I be limited to one or the other by some farcical two-party system? I say vote for Bob Barr and have the whole enchilada!!

Shade and Sweetwater,
K (who really, truly, doesn’t care who you vote for as long as you vote)(and who like how they do it in Canada – eight weeks from announcing candidacy to vote, no time for all this campaign crap)(but don’t tell Canada I said that)

[Reply]

I’ll be over in ten minutes. I’ll bring donuts, and we’ll hunker down until it’s all over. We can watch bad television.

[Reply]

Oh yeah– I have already voted Absentee– I love me some absentee voting!!

[Reply]

I, too, am so ready for this to all be over with. I swear that when the new prez gets inagurated, the campaigning for 2012 will begin. It is getting way too long!

[Reply]

damn it! did you HAVE to mention donuts????

off to krispys’ now, thanks to you.

i totally lost focus with that donut thing for a minute – the election is getting on my last nerves too. it’s like watching a never ending episode of american idol with non-stop highlights on cnn.

[Reply]

Oh yeah, you know I’m standing right next to you on this one (by the way, you’re looking hot today!).

(sung to the Nah Nah Nah Nah Boo Boo tune) – I early voted. So I don’t have to listen. I’m plugging my ears. So just keep talking!

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah BLAH!!

I’m sorry, I figure if both sides can act like a first grader, so can I.

Em

[Reply]

ditto…

[Reply]

what you said.

[Reply]

My parents are divorced and hate each other, but are united in their efforts to sway my political beliefs….it it was less annyoing, I’d enjoy the irony.

[Reply]

I don’t know if I have ever wished for November 4th to hurry up and get here! I can’t wait until the ads are back to Erectile dysfunction and that not so fresh feeling! I can’t handle the ads on t.v., I wish there was a skip ads button on my t.v.!

I will most definetly vote, even if I have to wheel chair myself there!

[Reply]

mmm donuts.

[Reply]

I want this to be over also because I’m anxious to see if history will be made…Like you said, whatever you believe, you have to vote!

[Reply]

All I’ve learned from the debates, the candidates’ supporters, and the political ads is why I *shouldn’t* vote for either one of them. Two weeks and counting!

[Reply]

If I bring the coffee (Irish) can I join you?

[Reply]

I prefer crullers….to donuts that is.
(get the anatomical references?)

[Reply]

I wish it was over, too. And yet I’m scared the country might get it wrong. Again.

Sigh.

And I have already sent off my absentee ballot Woo hoo!

[Reply]

oh I so agree!
they have been brow beating us for a year and a half..by the time the actual election GETS Here, no one gives a flying fuck WHO is elected, as long as they all just SHUT.UP.
lol

[Reply]

I literally cannot read another political post. I am soooo sick of it that I could puke.

They are both bad. And liars. And bad liars too.

[Reply]

What? There’s an election going on? Are you sure? I haven’t heard anything about this.

[Reply]

I was sick of it 6 mos. ago!

[Reply]

Agree with you. I wrote a post a earlier in the month about how we vote and the need to do so. It was in response to another blog and her post about being tired of the harassment of political ads and people around her. She and I vote on the opposite sides of the fence but agree that you do need to vote. And we don’t need the ads anymore…

[Reply]

I’ve known who I was voting for all along, so I’m tired of being pandered to or assaulted with other various forms of BS from BOTH parties. Who is undecided at this point?!?! For real.

Yeah, over it dude.

(But I hope I’m not in labor that day. I guess I should figure out how to vote early or I’m going to be annoyed for four years.)

[Reply]

I cannot wait for the elections to be over. I hate politics. Everything just seems so fake. But I agree – go vote!!

[Reply]

I can say one thing about this election season – a home is a happier place when there’s a three year old running around singing songs about Barack Obama. As ready as I am for this election to be over, on Nov. 4 and 5th I’m going to be biting my fingernails as the results come pouring in.

[Reply]

I would have voted for a goat as long as it wasn’t Republican, so I needed none of the debates or ads to help me decide. I get very riled up whenever I watch anything political, which is fun sometimes, but I’m all set with looking at all of their faces and listening to their bullshit promises.

[Reply]

I’m with you on the stay inside and protect the donuts thing. My ex husband is a cop and their department is actually giving them a little special riot instruction – you know – just in case the riots happen after the winner is chosen. Lovely. Humans are stupid. I’ll vote for the donuts.

[Reply]

Leave it to you to cut through the crap. I’M sick of the bloody election and I don’t even live there! The whole thing has gotten so nasty, everyone is totally ignoring the issues. And the fear-mongering has been completely epic! Sickening, really.

So, in closing, I adore you, you Jesus-hating, terrorist, you.

[Reply]

Ugh. I totally agree on all accounts.
Except, only stand up and vote if you vote who I’m voting for! (I keed. I keed.)

[Reply]

Becky – I’m going to politely disagree. I’ve been enjoying reading all the political posts. It makes me see that Americans actually do care enough to educate themselves about what sod runs their country.

[Reply]

I am just tired of the arguing. My friends who’s names I won’t mention, don’t even listen to or read the news, in fact, they don’t watch tv at all, and know very little about how politics really work. I am tired of them bringing up how much they’d stick their heads up a certain female politician’s arse if they could. I’ll be glad when it’s over too.

[Reply]

I’ll vote for just about anyone if there are donuts involved.

[Reply]

I’m with ya, sista. Please vote, and please shut the f up about it.

[Reply]

I’m *so* glad you ended your post that way. (I mean the voting part, not the donut part.) (No offense to donuts, or to their eaters, though).

I’m smug: I already HAVE voted.

[Reply]

mmmmm donuts.

[Reply]

Think of us poor Canadians….our TV shows are interruputed…like, ALL THE TIME. It’s tragedy on a grand scale. You have NO idea what you are doing to us up here.

I kind of like our election process.

Prime Minister announces election 6 weeks ago, 5 weeks of campaigning…1 debate….and we end up with the same gov’t we started with. Ah, Canada. Land of apathetic heroism.

[Reply]

Did you say donuts? I’ll be right over.

Just reading your post about Ben’s attachment to your mum. Thinking of you and wishing there was a fairy godmother who could wave a magic wand and grant us a wish a year and poof! it would all be different, or at the least, better.

[Reply]

I’m voting but I’m sick of it as well. All of it.

Really, when elected officials running campaigns are saying things like “Liberals hate real Americans” and other such nonsense I become highly alarmed and want to move to Iceland.

But that’s probably because I, too, am a baby-killing Jesus hater who obviously supports terrorists. Damn. My secret is out.

[Reply]

I like you already – I’m adding you to my blogroll, future friend

[Reply]

Plain, cinnamon, powdered or filled? I am done with this election. I have no confidence that my vote will count with respect to the national elections, but I’ll be at the voting booth making sure my local reps are really MY local reps. (Yes, I will be voting in the national election, too. Why waste a trip or a stop at the junior high bake sale?) And when I’ve cast my ballot, I’m unplugging all electronics until the next morning. Who needs the play-by-play?

[Reply]

I was listening to talk radio this morning, and I was shocked at how many times the word moron was used to describe people who don’t vote like the person who was talking. Lame.
