Election Madness
In the last 30 minutes, I have received three election-related calls.
The first was from a man asking me if I planned to vote, and then proceeding to tell me who to vote for. The funny thing is that I was already to planning to vote for the two candidates he told me to vote for - and it still annoyed me.
The second was from a sweet older woman from the UAW asking me if I had voted, if my husband had voted, and if I would like a ride to the polls. Innocent, civic-minded, important work that she is doing --- and it still annoyed me.
The third is a canned call that we have received about 2,687 times in the last month that starts, "I'm tired of Jennifer Granholm ..." ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want this election to be OVER. NOW. The attack ads, the pull-at-your heartstring ads, the yard signs, the candidates knocking on our door... all of it... OVER. NOW.
Chad and I have done our research using the voting guides in the paper and candidate websites. So why, then, do we also have to put up with all of these other useless means candidates use to try to get to voters. Do they really think I am going to vote based on a canned phone call or whose name I see on more yard signs in my neighborhood?
If this election has been so crazy, I can only imagine what it's going to be like during the presidential election. I think we will get caller ID before then!!!
