You Are Looking Live...

at yet another midterm election which will result in gridlock for yet another president's last two years in office.
I live in a weird place (Milwaukee), but Wisconsin just confuses me. The voters ban gay marriage AND vote for an advisory referendum so we can have the death penalty. Both of these being conservative views and policies; yet we vote in a democrat for governor and the state senate and state house are democrat majorities...I don't understand the logic. Is it we want conservative values, yet can't vote for conservative politicians? If so, then how do you suppose that our values will be represented in congress? Do we just like to punish ourselves? I suspect masochistic nature is more the answer than anything else. Most people feel disenfranchised enough by the government, but just imagine how much exponentially greater it feels when the person you voted for doesn't do anything he/she platformed on or said he/she would get done.

Once again this isn't exactly groundbreaking, because it happens all the time and all around the country. So what to do about the state of current affairs? Honestly I don't have slightest damn clue, but I do that a change should come soon or will perish in our own hypocrisy. The freest nation on the planet and a 50% turnout is considered exceptional?! Now I am not for everyone voting ie; felons, illegal aliens, etc... But what has happened? I encourage everyone I meet to vote if they are able. Get informed, read a newspaper, website, pamphlet, anything jeez. Is it too much to ask people? I don't think so.

  1. "Apathy is the glove into which evil slips its hand"
  2. "All that is needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing"
  3. "As the heart grows cold, so in turn does life"

Choose your favorite, because all three apply to this country and what is more, people[politicians] count on the fact that YOU, yes YOU, don't vote. Basically, in-a-round-about way, what I'm saying is SCREW YOU NON-VOTING PUNKS! MOVE TO FUCKING CHINA, BECAUSE IF YOU CAN'T RESPECT THE PRIVILEGE TO VOTE AND THEN PROCEED TO BITCH, LEAVE!!!

I feel infinitely better and if you know someone who didn't vote give that person a wicked charliehorse.
