I Pledge Allegiance to the Flag

Am I a bad American if I don't give a rats ass about the upcoming presidential race. In fact, I try my hardest to change the channel or avoid the conversation at all costs. But unfortunately I can't escape. It seems everyday that Hillary Clinton is calling me or Rudy is asking my opinion on the hot issues. Don't get me wrong, I care about what happens to this country, I care about the things that are going to affect my children. I want the best health care plans available, I want "No Child Left Behind" to walk out the door when George Bush does. I just don't want to hear about it all the time. I don't want to analyze it, I don't want to give my opinions, I don't care about other peoples'. Recently I was sent an email quiz. Upon completion of this quiz I would be given a score and that score would tell me which presidential candidate I am most compatible with. To me, this was the best way to figure out who I should vote for. I will vote, I will do my civic duty, however I am not sure how "civic" it is since I am typically voting based on some bogus fluke. In fact at the last presidential election, as I drove to the polling center, I told myself that the last sign I saw was who I would vote for. I would think that most of the candidates would rather not have my vote if it is going to come that way, but unfortunately they don't care other than to get votes in any possible horrible annoying never-ending way. Well the more I type the more pissed off I am getting because now I am wasting blog space discussing it. As I type this blog entry I have already heard 5 commercials for candidates...think of all the trashy tv I could have watched instead. God Bless America.....
