Election of 2008

This is one of the dumbest elections I have ever seen in my life time. Actually it is the dumbest one. Find out why and see if you agree.

This election has gone too far in my opinion. As of now it is not so much a battle of republican vs. democrat, but a battle of democrat vs. democrat. It is completely ridiculous how far we've come since the old days where the elections were stable and organized. Now I hate voting season because all that you see on TV is political candidates harassing others.

I have decided to vote for the candidate who harasses the other the least over the whole process. Instead of saying what would make them better for the president, they dig deep into the lives of the other to see everything that they could accuse the other of. I believe I heard Hilary Clinton say something about why people shouldn't vote for Barack because one of his distant relatives is in prison or something ridiculous.

I mean what is her problem? What does that have to do with Obama? It is a two sided story though because I know that Obama does talk about Clinton being unfit for the presidency. I wonder how McCain feels about all of this. I personally think he is going to win the election just because the democrats are stupid enough to be completely split. There is talk of democrats saying that they will vote for McCain if Obama isn't elected and vice versa. Why can't the democrats just agree on something?

We can agree the candidates are not very smart, because what everyone wants to hear is what that individual does right. Not accusations of what the other did wrong. The politics in our country closely resembles my preschool class; all of the presidential candidates and their supporters going around and whining about not getting their way.

It is very childish and I am even considering not voting this year. Of course some positive information is that as you may know, it is estimated that more voters will show up at the polls this year. But why vote when we don't even know what each candidate has to offer? We only know what is wrong with them don't we?
