I love politics. I spent the last two weeks watching the conventions, listening to the pundits analyze every word, waiting for new poll results to come in. But now that the conventions are over, I'm ready for the election to just hurry up and happen. I can't go to Yahoo or CNN without seeing Sarah Palin's face/name, and it's seriously driving me nuts. It's as if John McCain isn't even running anymore. Palin is completely inescapable, and hearing about her makes my blood boil. I'm not going to vote for someone who wants to take away my rights to my uterus.
I have issues with the Obama campaign also. Not with Obama himself, but with his support team. Look, I've given money to the campaign, and as such I've given them my phone number. And now they won't stop calling me. I talked to one guy who was trying to get me to come out and volunteer, and I explained that I'm a college student living away from home and that it wouldn't be possible. The next couple of times they called, I just sent them to voicemail. Finally they did leave a message, encouraging me to come by their offices to volunteer. I really wanted to call them back and tell them to back off. I've given you money, and I've made it clear to you that unfortunately I cannot give you my time. Leave. me. alone.
Oh, and I forgot about earlier, when I heard a knock on my neighbor's door and heard that it was Obama supporters, asking people if they were registered to vote. When they came to my door, I simply ignored them. If this kind of thing keeps up until November, I may have to go into hiding.
