Election year burnout


iconPolitical news is starting to really turn me off. I haven't yet decided whether or not to watch this evening's Presidential Debate. Quite frankly, I'm a bit burned out. Just take a look at a few of the idiotic things happening out there:

  • John Edwards claims that federally funded stem cell research would raise Christopher Reeve from the dead: "If we do the work that we can do in this country, the work that we will do when John Kerry is president, people like Christopher Reeve will get up out of that wheelchair and walk again."

  • Voter registration drives in Colorado are ripe with fraud, as petitioners are paid per application: One woman admitted to forging three people's names on about 40 voter registration applications... Gerald Obi says workers pressured him to keep registering to vote so they too could earn extra cash. When asked how many times he had registered this year, Obi said, "about 35 times."

  • In Texas, a Democrat congressional candidate is exposing 30 year old naked photos of his Republican opponent.

    I agree. I wish it was November 3 already!

    The Dems use these tactics year-in and year-out. Yet the MSM never covers it. It's just OK if the liberals do it. No double-standard here.

    So if you are not AGAINST naked half-time shows like the Republican in Texas "participated" in (okay, I'm not certain if the streaking was at half-time, it might have been between quarters), as a conservative don't you find it troublesome that the FCC has to get involved in censorship for what is obviously such a trivial matter?

    Yes, I find the FCC's actions very troubling. BTW, something you may not have realized, but the FCC top dog who is pushing all these fines is a Democrat.

    Drop by my bog and take a look at one of our fine Tennessee state politicians and what their handouts said.
    Politics this year is just nasty and low, but this will become the norm.
