I know it's an important duty, and it's one that I'm glad to take part in, but even so I'll be glad when the election's over.


Which reminds me - I need to find my voter registration card.

I have such worries that the country is gonna take a giant step to the right-wing this election.

Is it any wonder I'm trying to learn Swedish? (Not only because of my Skarsgård addiction, see?) If I were young and fit, I'd be looking into moving someplace far, far away. Sweden, say, 'cause I don't think Canada is far enough away anymore.

I don't watch any TV, hardly, these days. I don't answer the phone if the caller ID says "political call" or "Republican party" or "Unknown Name." And I throw away all the political junk mail un-looked-at. So I have avoided much of the political ads.

Politics these days. Argh.

I know what you mean. I know there are people who think change isn't happening quickly enough, but I was telling eternalmusings the other day, it seems like so many people who wanted change saw that it was happening, said "Oh, crap! That's not what I really meant!" and are now trying to go back to the way things were.

True, that.

A lot of people thought that Pres. Obama was gonna wave a magic wand and fix everything in 6 months. They were disappointed and are gonna take it out on him and all the Democrats in this election.

A lot of other people just knee-jerked anti-Obama/anti-progressive. And they're gonna go out to the polls to "take our country back." *sigh*

I hope they like what they get with a bunch of anti-government Tea Partiers who have no experience doing anything. Argh.
