Stupid Politics.
July 27 2006
For those of you who don't know, I'm extremely opinionated. So, pretty much everything matters to me, and this inclides politics. Unfortunately, I just don't agree with a lot of politicians. So it's very frustrating for me. I mean honestly, the local government affects me more than the national government, so who's in office is really important. I didn't vote in the last local election, and that kills me inside. So I want to vote this time around. I was just looking at the local election guide on dnj.com and it was frustrating for me because most of these guys are pretty old and experienced in politics so I really have no clue what they're talking about.
I mean, I'm a pretty intelligent college student - I'm not a moron. So why am I not understanding what I'm reading? And how come the Republican guy running for county mayor has a commerical about low taxes yet according to the DNJ, he wants the property taxes to be raised? What sense does that make? I don't think there ought to be a raise in property taxes unless there is going to be a major decrease in housing costs. So do I go for him, or Shacklett? Because I sure don't know what Shacklett wants to do either. I just know he isn't a liberal (sorry Kelly and Clint and whoever else that may affect). And I am also mega frustrated because my two choices for county commissioner in my district (actually, I'll be voting for my old district, not my new district, which also frustrates the crud out of me!) is a liberal Independent and a Democrat. Well that's just great. So yes... I digress...
Read my entry from yesterday if you haven't already and you like a good story...
And lastly... if you want to see my music video, I have it up online, but I don't want to announce it to the whole world (I have it up to where only I can see it unless I give you a direct link to it) so leave me a comment if you're interested and I'll message you the link. I may put the link up on my Facebook as well... yeah I'll do that so you can check there. Unfortunately, the video doesn't look as good online as it does on CD and DVD, so yeah... keep that it mind if you watch it. Graham gave it two thumbs up though.

I share your confusion. And sweetie, you vote for whomever you want and hold whatever views you want, no need for apology. They're your views, which you're thoroughly entitled to. My knickers won't twist because they happen to be different. <333

Ernest Burgess goes to my church, lol. I've heard people talk about him, and he seems pretty solid, so he'll get my vote. And you can't always trust what the DNJ writes ((or any newspaper for that matter really lol)). . . not to sound biased or anything. . . but I was reminded of those lovely articles that made me and Hannah out to be the bad guy in that incident with the cop. But just vote for you you think is best.
