Being registered as an Independent affords me certain benefits and I am not referring to crates of granola being left on my door by Ralph Nadar.
I don’t have to party vote. I get to call BS on either campaign when they step over the line and, for the most part, no particular campaign is hitting me up for money. I get to, guilt free, vote for whomever I feel is the most qualified (imagine that!).
What I have trouble explaining to people is only voting Democrat or only voting Republican on issues means you are probably only right 50% of the time (at best).
The other advantage to being Independent is of course, this site – or so I thought.
The Godfather got called out the other day by a site that picked up my Bush, I mean Sarah Palin, Gave a Great Speech blog.
I found it amusing the site listed me, among others, as “Scared Democrats.” Now hey, I have been called a lot of things but never a scared Democrat (or scared Republican or scared Independent for that matter).
I haven’t actually stated whom I am voting for yet. Six months ago I could not have – too much information left on the table. Now I am pretty sure whom I will be voting for. Many people have guessed based on my blog. – the funny part is that most have been wrong.
Rest assured I will reveal my vote later in the year – probably lose a couple of you in the process – but gain others at the same time.
If you go through the blog you will find me both shooting at, and defending, most of the candidates. Why? Maybe I just want a fair fight or maybe I just want people to be better informed when they step into the voting booth.
I see plenty of misinformation (can you say “fake”) on both sides – that will make it difficult for voters in the future.
Who am I voting for? You are welcome to take a guess via comments. Once all this is over I can get back to other pressing Slow Bleed issues!
Fine, I suppose this is where you look for some witty insights to my mind. A "bio" of sorts. Here is the deal... I ride motorcycles, smoke cigars, golf, kayak, fly, race my car through the mountains, write (a lot), and travel extensively. I am almost old enough not to care what other people think about me...almost. ~Godfadr
Clearly they were bringing you out like truth in the light, and this post is another one of your disinformation campaigns designed to throw us off your wayward syrup stealing ways, hippie!!
LMAO
Godfather Replied: Hey, no fair bringing up the syrup stuff in other posts – I have to bury that blog!
Go for it Godfather!
What?!!?? you’re asking me to hide your taxpayer funded black ops from the public??? well okay, but it’ll cost you at least $500,000 in Monopoly money!!
As for who you’re voting for….I’ll say Weird Al Yankovic!
