C’mon, people, what’re you waiting for!? I hate to say it
but this year the Republicans are out-Democrating the Democrats!
What? Really!? How much time do you need? This has been
going on (and on, and on, and on…) for months now. It started when? 1950? Or
does it just seem that way?
One classic quote from one of the news stories was to be
heard on the BBC news coverage… The correspondent was interviewing voter who
said that she really wanted to like one of the candidates but that there was
something that was bugging her about him. Something that was hard to put into
words.
“It’s just something, I don’t like about him, something that
I have trouble putting my finger on.”
Apparently sensing that the story was there but not without
a real quote – or perhaps just voicing the frustration that we all (at least I know
that I) feel over the process, the reported prompted with just one word: “TRY!”
Perhaps it is just me, but it certainly seemed that he was
as frustrated with the seemingly endless series of debates and the constant
stream of drivel being produced by the whole process. I know that I crave my
days back in London where if you didn’t pay attention to the news for a couple
weeks you could completely miss an election! Over there, they declare an
election, the campaign goes on for a few weeks, they hold the election, they
count the votes and it is over.
They don’t need MONTHS (or years) of this drivel to make a
decision!
After the interminable serious of informercials
that have gone under the highly misappropriate title of “Debate” and the even
longer series of news and advertising messages aimed at the good people of
Ohio, what are you waiting for? A sign on high?
Wherever you are today I hope you will make a decision on
who you believe best represents your interests!
