Not Watching This One Either

Yes, I am political. I just don't blog on it much.

I won't be watching this debate either... or any of them... for a few reasons.

First, I don't like Dick Cheney. Can't stand him. Have never liked him. I wish that GW had gotten someone else this time, much like I wish his Dad had replaced Dan Quayle. And I cannot stand Edwards. I don't even know where to start with that one... so I won't.

Preliminary predictions for me is that Cheney will eat Edwards for lunch. Cheney is a shrewd businessman. Edwards is just... not.

Second, I know who I'm voting against. Quite frankly, I'm at the point though whether I can't figure out if I'm voting against John or Teresa MORE. Damn, I cannot stand her. We were talking about it at dinner tonight and I said to my Better Half, "Maybe I just cannot stand her so becasue I'm a woman and I have NO respect for a woman like her." Who knows. It is what it is.

Third, I hate the political mudslinging. There is lying on both sides. I cannot let myself get worked up about it because I can. I am a very passionate person and I can let something like this election completely ruin my life for the next 4 weeks and I.Just.Cannot.Do.It. I have a family to raise. I have a life to live. And as The Great Omnipotent One says when I encounter a problem in my life, "If you step far away and look at your entire life, this will be but a blip on your radar." And that is what this election is to me... a blip on my radar. I can't let it consume my life for I know I am the type that can let it.

Fourth, there are many bloggers that do this for a past time... blogging on politics. They do it much better than I could. They are better spoken, more well read, and better versed on the ins and outs. I'm just not. So I choose to blog on things that make me laugh, piss me off, or observations. Watching the debate is not something I need for my blog.

So, that's where it is.
