Don’t Vote

If you haven’t voted by now then – – Don’t Vote.  That’s right – Don’t Vote.

You obviously don’t care about the election, the candidates or the issues.   You are what I call an “Ignorant Voter.”  You’re not dumb, you’re not stupid – – you’re just Ignorant.

Those of us who are educated voters have already voted.   You, on the other hand, are just starting to think about the election and are going to vote over some “obligation” –   fostered on you by the media and other outside forces.

You’re the type of voter who will vote for a name you recognize or a particular party logo. That’s the worst way to vote.  You’re the reason we’re in this mess in the first place.

If you want to be an educated voter then attend the various political forums put on by organizations.   Listen to the candidates and talk with them when possible.   Don’t let some third party tell you how to vote.   Use their political mailings to see what they stand for – – and look at the list of those who endorse a candidate.   If you respect those who endorse a candidate then that gives you a good start.

Don’t trust your Voters Guide put out by the state or county.   Remember – – everything in those guides are written by the candidates or the supporters of a particular issue.  And – -this is important – – they can lie and tell falsehoods.   The supreme court has said so.   It’s ruled that political lies are protected speech.

Before you vote check with someone who you trust – someone who may know the candidates or are aware of the ballot issues.

If you haven’t done those things – and you haven’t voted yet – – do us all a favor and Don’t Vote.
