I thought of something important to say.

This came up on the radio this morning, when a woman (I can't remember who. Some wacky republican lady) was making a big issue about the fact that Obama's middle name is "Hussein." Seriously? Why is this an issue? Oh, right. Because it's not. I really don't even get this whole mud-slinging concept of campaigning for any political office. If we just focused on the issues rather than resorting to "HE was convicted of a DUI when he was in college. Do you want HIM running your country?!" this whole election process would be a lot less infuriating.

I don't care if you're a democrat or a republican or what have you, the fact of the matter is you need to NOT get caught up in the BS of it all and just look at the issues. Then make an intelegent, informed decisson. I've always said (well, as long as the internet has been a prominent feature in the world) that politicians should only be allowed to advertise for themselves on their websites. That would greatly reduce the nonsense, I'm sure.

Also: vote. It's not that hard, I promise.
