My Name is Ryan and I Approve This Message

Election time is finally upon us and I can’t be more relieved. I’ll be so happy when all of these damned commercials finally stop. I can’t speak for the rest of the country, but it seems like Dick Devos has been campaigning since June.

I wouldn’t be so annoyed if they were good commercials – but they’re not. I’ve heard 20 million reasons why I shouldn’t vote for candidates but I’ve yet to see one commercial that says “Hi, I’m candidate and here’s why you should vote for me.” Apparantley those don’t work anymore.

For once I’d like to see a candidate come out and say “I am going to lie, cheat, steal, and do whatever I can to benefit myself.” At least then I’d know he’s honest.

Some of the ballot prosals here are also a bit weird. I’ve always wondered why we get to vote on some laws and not others and what determines that. If you know, can you explain? I’d prefer we vote on all laws – especially at the federal level

I already discussed the affirmative action proposal, so I won’t go into more on that. There’s one to elimiate dove hunting which I don’t understand either side of. Dove’s aren’t over populated, and you really can’t eat a dove after you shoot it. But on the other side, they’re not endangered and hunting them doesn’t do any harm. I guess I don’t care either way.

There’s another propsal that basically ensures teachers get a raise every year. I wish they had one of those for my job. I think that’s a bit retarded.. how about we let your performance dictate your raise. Don’t like it? Don’t be a teacher.

Don’t even get me started on candidates visiting churches..thank god (sic) there’s only one more day left of these ads.
