Election Day is coming...

Time to think about another election. Mmmm.

So many issues to think about.

It is important, I believe, to keep things in perspective.

I have found that it is often easier to find someone to vote against, than to find a suitable candidate to vote for.

This time is no exception.

My favorite bumper sticker recently is: "Someone Else For President".

update 10/23/06: Just to clarify, this is not a presidential election year in the USA. That would be 2008.

But, 2006 is one of those years for electing certain members of Congress - typically 1 Senator and a House representative from your district.

So, you might ask, what does that have to do with President Bush and his lackeys?

Let me explain: for the past 6 years, the House and Senate have been controlled by a majority of Republicans. The GOP, as they are often called (it means Grand Old Party), are a close-knit group. In fact, their loyalty would be admirable if they were not actively supporting a serious incompetant as President.

The effect of this monopoly of power in Congress has been to give a "blank check" to President Bush - allowing him virtually complete freedom to do whatever he likes, without any threat of accountability or consequence.

There are a large number of people who think Bush should be impeached (myself included). But, that just isn't going to happen as long as his party controls the Congress.

So. we are faced with 2 choices: We can wait patiently for 2008 (assuming we all survive), and see what our choices are at that time. Or, we can VOTE THE GOP OUT!

I don't care who you vote for: Democrat, Libertarian, Green, or the Freakin' Hippopotamus Party. Just vote AGAINST the Republicans!

TAKE BACK OUR GOVERNMENT!

(I'm nobody in particular, but I approved this message.)
