Election time is so interesting. It’s always funny to me to drive around an notice people’s political affiliations.

Look Marge, the Johnsons have campaign posters in their yard. Such nice people, who would have thought they were democrats. Guess little Billy isn’t going to be able to go to Freddy’s birthday party after all. Thank God we found out.

What I find amusing is the way that everyone seems to support ALL of the party candidates. Sure, Angie Paccione and Bill Ritter are both decent candidates, but Solomon Little Owl? Come on. I really like when there are all of the major candidates’ posters in the yards and along with two or three candidates for school board or county commissioner that you’ve never heard of, but are supposed to vote for because they are Republicans. If everyone just supports one party’s candidates, why do we even bother to vote for individuals? Why don’t we just go down and select D or R? Our whole society wants to pigeonhole EVERYONE as either a liberal or a conservative - both groups painting the other as devils. I know I don’t fit perfectly into either mold, and I’m guessing you don’t either.

Remember, when you go to vote, don’t vote for a party, vote for a person.
