Today I turned in my Vote by mail.

No more back and forths, reading bullshit by either candidate and myriad in-between "has got a chance of a snow ball in hell" third party ridicularities...

I voted. It's in at the county office and clear.

I'm glad it's over with.

I'm tempted to vote early, but I like taking the kids along with me when I vote. I think it's important for them to see their parents participating.

Because my state does other elections at the same time, so my civic duty, while tasteless, overrode my dislike of the false dilemma.

In any case, I'd rather Obama than that rich cunt Romney.

If the Repubs threw a much better candidate (IE a real fiscal conservative, not a social conservative), I'd actually consider voting for them...

I also know that the third party is going nowhere until Citizens United is overturned and significant funding of third parties becomes a reality.

My family turned in their ballots with me. Smile

Obama is a rich cunt just like Romney is. You think those people actually care about us? Both fake, both actors on the "political stage".

The Libertarians have a pretty good candidate Gary Johnson, too bad they don't let him on the TV.

Which is why I said the third party is going nowhere.

This is how I will feel. Any disappointment at the reality of a president Romney or relief I would fell for him being denied the highest will be greatly outweighed by the elation I will feel that the whole goddamn election is done with.

Just imagine... no more ads, no more debates... I seriously can't wait, however it goes, at least it'll be over.

I voted, too. I know my third party choice isn't one most agree with/think is advisable, but I could not (in good faith) vote for either main party candidate.
