Okay, okay, okay. What do I do this to myself?

I mean, really. It’s like looking at those NSFW videos over on reddit.com and then hoping that it really is? No, it’s like seeing if you have the fortitude to walk away unscathed. Unruffled by the horror presented before you. As if to say, “see? I’m manly enough, that was nothing.”

So I clicked on this link and read the article. Yep. All the horrors there that I expected.

I didn’t see any mention that he still thinks the earth is flat, but, judging by his other choices and comments, we can pretty much figure that one out.

Maybe, however, I went to that webpage to just, I don’t know, hope that he was slightly different than R-Money. That Uncle Mittens would try to play his opposite, to attract more voters, and have someone who didn’t waffle on everything; someone who was slightly more moderate, to get those middle ground voters moving his way.

R-Money, instead, went with the conservative base. Makes sense. Churches bus these people to the polling places, folks.

I wish, deep down, that we’d rid ourselves from the party system, really. Just open up the field and let everyone just go to town. Less money, more personality. Maybe it’s just me, but I like to think that many people vote conservative just because there’s a GOP on the label, frankly. They don’t think. If they did, or, at least, know how to read, they’d not vote for them. It’s like, well, they’re not for Obama, so they vote the opposite, never really thinking. It’s okay NOT to like the president. But really, to vote FOR someone you know is bad, just because they aren’t him? Whoa.

But I know many on the right side, many conservatives (have you seen my family? They think it’s 1954 still); but they aren’t the base that the GOP is pandering too. In fact, I don’t see them in any Republican “way.” But that’s the way they’ve voted; that’s the way they’re going to vote.

And people wonder why I stopped going over there for the holidays.

Sigh.

So, yeah, there was this glimmer of hope, quickly dashed, that Mr. Ryan might have something nice to say.

I hate being an “one-issue” voter. But until I feel equal, I float to the side that will respect my marriage with fortitude.

Peace,
