Stupid voters

I have a huge pet peeve. Stupid voters. Now I firmly believe in our democracy, but stupid people just kill me, especially in voting.

There are a few main types of stupid voters. In my opinion they are:

“At least he’s not X” voters. These kill me. There are more than 2 choices for most elections (3 or 4 for president – like the Libertarian party) so rather than vote against someone vote for someone. Read about the candidates and vote for the one you agree with the most.

“Hypocritical voters”. Let me explain this one. Recently I was debating Colorado Amendment 36 with a friend. After discussing it with him for about 15 minutes he agreed with me that it was totally wrong and unfair. There was no further debate as to wether or not it was a good idea or not. However he still insists he is going to vote for it. What? Oh my God, did he really say that? Yep. How someone could vote for something they know and freely admit to me is wrong is beyond me. Stupid voter.

“Just ’cause” voters. These are the ones that have no clue and just vote “’cause”. They voted for Clinton because he could play sax or wore boxers instead of briefs. These are the worse. If you don’t know why you’re voting DON’T VOTE. Again as I said at the beginning I want everyone who as the right to vote to do so. Just speed some time reading about who you’re voting for (Farenheight 911 doesn’t count as research, nor does listening to Rush Limbaugh). If you vote for someone know why.

So, on Tuesday go vote. But please know who you’re voting for and why. Cherish the fact that you can vote. Think about what you’re voting for. Oh, and vote Libretarian when you can. Oh, and if someone asks why you voted Libertarian just say “Ross told me to”, that should be enough for anyone! And how am I voting? Well that’s none of your business!!!
