My vote is for Obama.
That’s one.
Your vote will make two.
And so on.
This is the first Presidential Election where I am actually voting for a candidate rather than against a politician. Having voted for 36 years, because it is really the one true right left, it is important. Besides, even with McCain having a home state advantage, if he wins here it will be paper thin.
My fantasy is Obama crushes McCain so we can call the election around an hour after the polls close. McCain retires from public life forever, Sarah Palin gets a job as a spokes model for the NRA, and I win the lottery.
Here in Arizona I will be voting against every Republican Incumbent. Also in Arizona we have the Proposition Follies.
Proposition 102 wants to keep the gays in the closet by amending the State Constitution making marriage the union of one man and one woman. That’s a No.
Proposition 200 says it wants to reform Payday Loans, but being written by the Payday Loan Support Group, it is a No.
Proposition 201 will open the door for anybody to sue any home seller for alleged ‘defects’ regardless of not being the buyer. Ambulance chasers rejoice! This is another one of those full employment for attorneys deals. Another No.
Proposition 202 is relates to closing the loopholes on businesses who hire illegal aliens. Yes here. There are enough loopholes in the original legislation to drive semi loads of illegal aliens through.
Prop 300 is a salary bump for state legislators. Hell No! There are few reasons.
A lot of what passes for law and legislation in Arizona gets lifted from Federal Law and gets the serial numbers filed off. A moron with search and replace can do that. One might point out that there is little discernible difference between morons and legislators, but that would petty and do a great disservice to morons. The current crop of legislators are firmly jammed up the assholes of Developers and Builders. They are ignoring solar energy, health care and education. Proposition 202 is a shining example of why they don’t deserve a pay raise.
So much for me. Get your own ass out and vote.
