Not Long Before the End

The fact that we only have one more week before the election makes we want to shout "hurray!" I think we should all have a celebration on Election Day. No, not because we get to see the awesome power of democracy in action, as we and our fellow citizens get to exercise our basic right to choose our political leaders.

The celebration is because after the election, they'll finally stop running campaign ads on television. Thank God for small favors.

Here's an attack ad:
"This politician supports amnesty for illegal aliens and increasing the income tax. He wants to export jobs to China. Do we really want a leader who thinks it's okay to give our jobs to illegals?"

That's an ad attacking a Republican!

Then there are the ads put out by the candidates themselves:
"I'm a gun-totin', truck drivin', Bible reading conservative."

That's from a Democrat!

Then there are the robocalls:
"We have a quick two question survey. 1. Do you support the rise of the anti-Christ, like our opponent? 2. Do you support having good jobs, like our candidate?"

Yes, I'm looking forward to the day after Election Day. Nothing like a little piece and quiet.
