Bush vs. Kerry

It is only April 20th and I am already tired of the political ads that are bombarding the airwaves in Pennsylvania. Ok, I was tired of them much earlier than this, but I have decided to document my distaste for the campaign process today.

PA is a "battleground" state, but this early ad blitz is absurd. Are voters even considering who they are going to back in November? The only people who have made up their minds are the Bush-haters and the Bush-backers. These two groups made up their minds a long time ago and all these ads aren't going to change a thing. The middle of the road voter will start thinking about the election after Labor Day and all these ads will have already gone through one ear and out the other.

I just find it hard to believe that the Dems couldn't come up with anyone better than Kerry. He makes Al Gore look like an exciting candidate. His stump speeches are as riveting as the second half of the much over-hyped Lost in Translation.

Kerry or Bush? No thanks. I will once again abstain from voting, because regardless of who becomes the next president the federal government will continue to grow at an obscene rate. As pointless as it may be, I would choose to vote Libertarian but less than 1% of the electorate doesn't cut it.
