61 Days… “Stupid You”

There are 61 days every 4 years that I hate.  And right now we are in the beginning stages those 61 days… the days between now and the presidential election.  My problem is not that I don’t enjoy the speeches, or the campaign process, the policies, and the debates… heck, even the party conventions can be fun… my problem is the “Stupid You’s” out there.  

You know what I am talking about… the ones with the Facebook status that says “if you are unemployed, don’t have a home, have no investments, or your family doesn’t like you enough to put you in a will, Obama is perfect for you IDIOT”*.  To the 17 year old “stupid you’s” who post myspace bulletins with racist, sexist, comments about the candidates that they have simply forwarded on from a friend of a friend of a very misinformed original source.  Its the “stupid you” fights that I get into with my family because I either a) don’t agree with them or b) am being condescending with my silence when I choose to abstain from the one sided arguments we get into.  It’s the “stupid you” conversations you overhear at the bar, the one where the guy next to you is convincing his friend that Obama is in fact the anti Christ.. “you know like in those Left Behind books”#.   The “stupid you” media, the ones who interrupt, manipulate, misinterpret and  misunderstand everything to make it further their own selfish agendas.

Arghhh.. it is so frustrating. 

To all the “stupid you’s” out there… PLEASE SHUT UP!  I am trying to figure out all the facts in the midst of your bull so that I can actually make an informed decision in 61 days.

 

Pyaar and Agape,

Mel
