I'm Irritated!

I was just listening to a conversation between two people regarding the election. Excuse me while I get on my soapbox for just a moment. These two people were discussing who they "might vote for if they were voting." ARE YOU KIDDING ME!? They are not going to vote. Because they either don't feel educated enough or they just don't like either candidate. It just irritates me because there are many many ways to become educated....they just don't feel like spending the time to get educated. Now I'm not one to sit around and discuss politics...it just isn't me. But this is one of our liberties of living in the United States. And to be a woman and able to vote as well. Arrrggg! I think that I might have to duct tape my mouth shut if I hear either one of them complain about anything after the election.

Are these people for real? Who says stuff like that? I would have started screaming. Seriously, Kim, you know I would have.

I know you would have. I had to walk away before I did start.

I feel uneducated myself; but no matter what I am going to vote - and a lot of the reason I feel uneducated is just that it seems like everything I hear seems biased or misleading and so I don't like making my decisions on those things.
What are some of the sources you're referring to about becoming better educated? I would like to know :)

A friend of mine has been using a website called ontheissues.org that has been helpful. And I make sure to what the debates too. I know that some people will scoff at me but...I also pray about which candidate I should vote for as well. And that isn't just the presidental candidates. I do it for the local leaders and various propositions as well.
