Vote Early, Vote Often
It's not often I get too political on anything public, mostly due to my somewhat cautious nature. It's not that I'm cautious for fear of offending you, it's that I don't want to waste my time debating it because it's just not worth it. As ultimately cynical in nature as this may be, I believe we've all got a finite amount of energy that can be spent towards certain things.
There's only so much in the tank folks, particularly when it comes to politics.
And I think politicians know this too, which is why they try to hit you hard and fast and over-the-head with catchy ads and phrases that are meant to use up that little bit of Political Energy that you've got on wondering how so-and-so can be So Evil, when in reality you'd probably be wondering, "if so-and-so is so evil, why are they up for the most powerful position in the entire country?"

So, if they can chew through your fuel allowance quickly enough, you won't have time (nor the inclination) to question what they're telling you *coughSOUNDSLIKERELIGIONcough*.
And that's not even the worst part. Sad enough that they make us stupid by treating us stupidly, but they know, they fucking KNOW, that they're really the only two options out there, and even if you decide to vote for one of the smaller parties your guy/girl will never win. They happily play it that way and, once again, neglect to fill you in on a few simple things:
It's Your Vote.
Use it Wisely.
It WILL Make a Difference, No Matter What.
Good Luck.
