Last night as Holly and I were settling down to watch the latest episode of Chuck, my phone rang. I didn’t recognize the number so I figured that it was another survey to ask me who I’ll be voting for at the Republican State Convention in a few weeks. I answered the phone expecting to have a delay while the call was routed to some operator in a call center. Instead, my greeting was answered immediately with an actual person. The caller asked if he was speaking with Jeremiah, which he obviously was, so I answered in the affirmative. He then introduced himself as Rob Bishop. This is where my mind went weird.

I’ve noticed since the House passed the health care “reform” bill on Sunday evening, Twitter and Facebook are ripe with people voicing their opposition. That’s good in the sense that people care enough to actually follow what is going on. It’s bad though because, as was proven on Sunday, many of our elected leaders don’t really care what their constituents have to say regarding the issues. The arrogance that is coming from Washington amazes me especially considering the fact that these are the same people who criticized the previous administration’s arrogance. Regardless of where they fall on the political spectrum, I think that it’s safe to assume that most people are unhappy with the way that things are being run in our nation’s capital at the moment. I also think that these feelings have been festering for years (I’m not just blaming Obama) and are now starting to come to a head.

After what seems like a million years, we finally get to vote for the people that will take it upon themselves to destroy our country. I’m sure that they don’t think that their policies will destroy our country – they’re doing what’s in their best interests, I mean the country’s best interests.
I plan on voting on my way into work. I’m actually still conflicted on whom I will be casting my ballot for. I don’t like what’s been going on with our government over the past few years so I’m reluctant to vote for any incumbents. I’ll probably end up voting for multiple third-party candidates but I know that doing so is just throwing my vote away. At least I can say though that I didn’t vote for “that guy”. I do know though that I’m not voting for Obama for president. I don’t like McCain but I dislike Obama even more.
