So I've decided it's time to stop avoiding the inevitable and start being a grown up about the quickly approaching presidential elections. I don't think I've been this torn between candidates in a while (or at least I was slightly torn until today... keep reading). I can usually decide fairly quickly which candidate aligns w/my beliefs, but not this time. Maybe it's because I feel like both of them are full of shit this time around (okay, all politicians are full of shit for the most part, but these candidates are heavy on the shit). It's hard to get to the bottom of what they really believe and what they'll really put into play if voted into the white house, when most of the time your asking, "What the hell is he talking about?? Did he even answer the question or did he just go off on a tangent about Teletubbies?!"
I've been watching the presidential and vice presidential debates, and plan to do the same tonight. The debates have helped me a bit, but today I decided to take one of those online quizzes that would help me see which candidate really aligns with the issues that are most important to me. Very interesting results. The results told me that this candidate shares a 79% similarity with my beliefs! 79%! I was leaning towards this one, but now, I think I'm set (of course we'll see how the debates go tonight and going forward, and, it helps me to know that the vice presidential candidate is - in my opinion - stronger than the one I will not be voting for).
Check out this site. Helpful and interesting.

Can you guess which candidate that I'll be casting my vote for?? I have a feeling there will be a number of people in my life that will be surprised.

Oh geeze...I hate political talk, but I'm guessing Obama. And I took the quiz too and thankfully it agreed with who I already know I'm voting for.
Uttt Ohh..... I am assuming you are voting for "Nobama". I just can't get into wanting a socialistic society. OH NO!! whomever you are voting for, if it's someone you truly agree with and want in office and did research their history and experience; then more power to ya! But seriously.. "Nobama" he,he,he,he...
I had no clue who I was going to vote for. I thought I knew but the quiz proved otherwise. Thanks for sharing this April, it has shed a whole new light for me. I plan on researching him more to make sure. Hope all is well. Miss you!! Sherri
I would have guessed McCain for you Apes. I took the quiz too and it just confirmed what I already believed. I've been listening to npr on my way to work attempting to "get smart" about this election. It's very interesting listening to politician's discuss issues. I told Brian last night I think we need someone who will truly stand up for the American people, so I'm thinking of running for president in 2012. :-)
Yes Theresa, please do run for president. You'd have my vote for sure!!
