It’s not my fault you’re all so recklessly optimistic.

A note to candidates

October 21st, 2008 · 3 Comments

I will not vote for you because of the party affiliation listed on the ballot.

I will not vote for you because you have three kids and a dog.

I will not vote for you because you have a doctorate.

I will not vote for you because there is a picture of you standing by a flag or holding a sign saying “God Bless America” or “Support Our Troops.”

Please just tell me where you stand. An “Issues” section on your website would be an excellent way of doing that. A note on the front page saying how much you care about veterans doesn’t come anywhere near close to telling me everything I would need to know before voting for you. And no matter how much you repeat that you care about family, that won’t let me know if you share my thoughts on… well… anything, really.

Just tell me where you stand.

    Don’t you know? They all stand for Joe the plumber. Who isn’t named Joe. And doesn’t happen to be a plumber either. Word has it he’s a 3 inch tall man who lives under McCain’s bed alongside the box containing Simon the invisible unicorn. Every time I try to research the candidates I just decide I like SNL skits better. Which won’t help me come Tuesday. *sigh* I’m beginning to think none of them actually stand for much of anything at this point.

    I’m mostly talking about the candidates for smaller positions. It can be hard to find information about those people. They probably do claim to stand for Joe the Plumber, though. What kind of politician wouldn’t?

    That website provided me with minutes of enjoyment.
