Politics, schmolitics...
I try to stay away from politics (except in that little presidential race where ohio SCREWED the entire nation, damn you!) in my blog, but I would just like to say that the upcoming November election is going to be key, not to mention get ready for mud-slinging!!
I can't WAIT for the 8th district election. The primary was a huge disappointment. My favorite candidate lost, but luckily, not by much. Look out for him in the future, I predict big things for this guy...Jamie Wall. I don't even know who to vote for. I strongly dislike both of the candidates...well, take a look for yourself (this probably doesn't affect most of you, but it is highly interesting, not to mention entertaining right now while all the political ads are on tv, snort).
So, the 8th District candidates that I must force myself to pick between:
Idiot Number #1 (aka the Democrat) and Idiot Number #2 (aka the Republican)....
Those of you who know me can probably take a stab and guess who I'm probably going to end up voting for...
But the thing that struck me as funniest is the initial similarities between Jamie Wall and Idiot Number #2. Farm boys, huh...but one of them is considerably less obnoxious and his political ads DIDN'T make me want to throw things at the television. But, like I said, I have a good feelings that there will be much more of Jamie Wall in the future. Hopefully he doesn't become too corrupt like most candidates end up.

This issue, however, is not so much for just the 8th district and my own pointless ramblings about who I do and do not want to vote for, but more for the entire state of Wisconsin.
Right now, they are trying to pass one of the more ridiculous laws I have ever read into existance simply by not informing people of what it will really do for the state.
A big thing lately on political ads is that this "constitutional ban" is really about gay marriage. Upon digging slightly deeper, it is actualy NOT solely about gay marriage. This would also ban civil unions too. And, surprise, it would affect heterosexual couples too.
I suppose I could go on and on about this ridiculous ban that hovers on our ballots come November 7th, but why should I when there is a great website right here:
A Fair Wisconsin Votes No!
I hope that just by becoming thoroughly educated on the subject that people will vote no. It's not just about gay marriage, though I think lawmakers are hoping that if the gay marriage aspect is targeted that people will vote for this. But really, it's all about education on what you're voting yes or no to.
48 days till the election!
