Just Don't Care

So, Super Tuesday. Yawn. Everybody here at Casa Cud voted today. Well, sort of. We voted Libertarian. Last night we were talking about who we were voting for and I explained my voting strategy. This is just a primary. We're not really voting for president. We're just voting for who we want to vote for president for. Or whatever. You know what I mean. So, I know some people use this as an opportunity to screw the other guy. Instead of voting for the person they really like they vote for who they think will be easiest for their candidate to beat. Sort of reverse psychology election strategy.

I, on the other hand, have an alternate strategy. Hundreds of thousands of people are going to vote for the various Democratic candidates. Hundreds of thousands of idiots (Unless they are doing the vote for the other guy strategy. Then they're people.) are going to vote for the various Republican candidates. My lonely vote in a primary doesn't really mean a whole hell of a lot. Not to the Republicans or Democrats, at least. The Libertarians, on the other hand, don't get the hundreds of thousands of votes that dilute my vote to election vapor. While the Republicans and Democrats fight with each other because they feel I owe them, but don't really care what I think, I figure the Libertarians will actually appreciate it.

Of course, when it's the real election, I usually wuss out and vote for a viable candidate. I'm not stupid, you know.

I guess it's pretty obvious I'm a Democrat. At least vaguely. I think it's probably because the first president I really remember is Carter. I vaguely remember Ford. Just some guy on TV. The only thing I remember about Nixon was when my teacher tried to explain what impeachment meant. She said he was the first president to leave office before his term expired that hadn't been assassinated. I was only in second or third grade, and didn't understand what she was saying. I thought what she meant was he was the first president to leave office without being assassinated. Big difference. That was when I realized you had to be bat-shit crazy to want to run for president.

So anyway, I'm not very interested in the election yet. Not until the primary bullshit is over. I'm just glad we're almost through with Bush. I can't stand him. With a passion. I think he's a greedy little weasel bully. I would rethink my position on cannibalism if that was what it took to get rid of him. Thankfully, all I have to do is wait a few more months and then he's out of there. And I don't care who takes his place. Remember Ross Perot? I'd take him. Remember Carter? I'd take his brother. I'm not saying Gore would have been all sunshine and happy days. Who knows what he would have done if he won the election. Oh, wait, he did. Isn't democracy great?
