The Voting Booth
1996 was
another crappy election year. Deciding on which candidate to
choose was certainly an impossible mission.
Your mission,
should you decide to accept it, is to try and do better next
time around! In order to make a sound judgment as to which
candidate will do the best job, you must sift through
endless drawl of campaign-speak and find out what really is
being said (if anything is being said).
Candidates
will often say what you want to hear, not neccesarily what
needs to be heard. Pay close attention to what they don't
say too. You will often times learn more by what is left
unsaid.
Be forewarned
that the candidates and their party members will attempt to
confuse you. And other nations will attempt to influence
policy by providing "incentives" to see things
their
way and ignore our best interests. They are all calling for campaign
financing reform, but none of them appears to really mean
it. Hey, why bite the hands that feed you? Or pays you
off?
If you find
yourself on that special Tuesday in November still confused,
do what I do: Vote for whoever would be least likely to
leave the seat up when they are finished with their
business. Got any better ideas? Let
me know.
Where's Peter
Graves when you need him?
