How to Earn My Vote Next Year

It is that time of year again next week. Election Day. The time you pick the candidate that you do not hate as much as the other one. I think it is your duty to vote each year. However, I really do not understand to exactly why anymore. It is easy to do and only takes five minutes or less to do. I hate this time when every political nut job (does not matter which party) decides you want to hear about them on at every commercial break for TV or the radio. They think you actually take the time to reader their fliers that come in your mailbox. Do not get me started on those who quote so called polling data. The problem is that none of these things really tell you anything about them. And yet I still vote. But after all these years of my voting based on my conscience (I have one. Set to “part-time” though) and the issues themselves I have yet to find vote for anyone that I actually believe in. So my voting strategy is flawed. I have decided come up with a new method that I plan to implement for next year. Here it is. The candidate who sends me the least amount of junk mail and the fewest phone calls will earn my vote. It is that simple. If a candidate is willing to “shovel” that much crap on me in the form of junk mail and phone calls then it a sign of things to come when he (or she) is actually in office. That is right! The candidate who is willing to do the least will earn my vote. He (or she) was willing to meet my low expectations. Next year with this new strategy I may actually have found the “winner” that is right for me. They aspired to it by doing nothing. It is so simple and a lot cheaper too.
