So I happened to drive by my local voting place and noticed early voting was underway; so I pulled in to cast my vote.   I didn’t know I was going to be solicited by politicians in the parking lot.  There was only 2 there, but it was so lame.  They just go up to people like me and say “please vote for me, I’m trying to get elected”.  OK, that’s cool…. At least one guy handed me a lame flyer to explain who he is; he was running for senate.  Then there was a lady trying to get re-elected as justice of the peace.  If you need to go through the effort of begging random people minutes before they vote to get re-elected, doesn’t that mean people think you’re not doing such an awesome job?

I know they are just trying to get a quick dropping of their own name before people go into the booth, and maybe that helps, I haven’t looked into the stats on that.  I get the feeling if I was to actually talk to them for a while about some issues I actually care about, they would try to shoo me away as they’d be doing less name dropping.  Now I regret not talking to them.  I never think to do spontaneous funny things till later.

Mostly it would be funny to hear their answers.  I live in Texas and things are pretty “republican” here, I’m not so much so.  I really wanted to ask them about stuff like why don’t I have the option (freedom) of not living under the authority of a for profit corporation disguised as an HOA.  In my area it was nearly impossible to find a place without an HOA.  For $800 a year I better be getting some sucky sucky with that.  But I’m not, just a letter if my dog barks too loud; it must be expensive to send letters.

BY THE WAY……………….    You may have noticed I’m not “Monkee”, I took over the site and while Monkee has lots of articles about Obama being an asshat and what not, I’m quite the opposite.  I voted for Obama, so HAHAHAHAHHA.
