Rant #840: Vote, Vote, Vote

I have voted.

My polling place was lucky enough to be open and with power, and I voted there earlier today.

I am going to tell you who I voted for.

I voted for the guy that I felt could lead this country the most competently during the next four years.

I voted for the guy who I feel will make my life and the lives of my family and friends better over the next four years.

I voted for the guy who I felt most comfortable with, even though both major candidates give me the shakes.

I voted for the guy who I think can help us out of our economic doldrums, the guy who will lay down the law and tell big business what is right and what is wrong.

I voted for the guy who I believe will lead us out of Afghanistan, and let those people do their own governing ... and killing.

I voted for the guy who seemingly has a nice family, a solid marriage, and practices good values.

I voted for one of the two major candidates, because while I don’t really like either candidate, I feel that since the race is so close, every vote will, in fact, count this time around.

I voted for ———— as President of the United States.

And if he wins, I hope he can do the job.

I really do.
