Knowing before you vote

I don’t know about everyone else, but my wife and I are exhausted and ready for this election to be over and in the books.

From the primaries all the way up to where we are today, both presidential campaigns have been nothing short of a made-for-TV reality show, and the past 10 months have been filled with enough garbage to choke a horse (as my granny used to say.)  

My wife and I like to think we are well-informed voters. We believe we do our homework and conduct our own research on the candidates. We try and stay clear of less than credible news sources and see past the rhetoric. Fat chance this year. This entire election has had us stressed out and in a cloud of confusion and anxiety over the future of our country.  

Whether you get your news from the New York Times, Dallas Morning News, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC or your favorite local or network television source, it all reads and sounds like the National Enquirer. Of course, our two candidates have brought much of this on themselves and have enough skeletons in their respective closets to fill a haunted house.

We have watched every debate for both parties in the primary, both conventions, the vice presidential debate, general election debates and to top it off we get our updates from national news programing and websites. All seem slanted and motivated to fill airtime with nothing but negative scandal after scandal. We are beyond tired of this circus and are ready to reclaim our pathetic lives.
