I had every intention of voting early, and didn’t. The main reason being that I have no idea who I’m going to vote for! Some of you may say that I have had enough time to figure it out by now, and you’re right! I have not done the research required to make a decision I feel right about. So tonight I did some research.
It turns out that there are 327 people who have registered with the Federal Election Commission or filed a statement of candidacy?! Wow. I mean, obviously only one of the two guys you hear about EVERY DAY will make it in the end, but I wish we heard more about some of these other presidential candidates.
I definitely did not look through every one of these people’s bio’s nor do I have the desire to! But i did find some choice selections that are pretty interesting….
Exhibit A: Jack Grimes is the pick of the United Fascist Union. Yeah. I’m not making this up! Don’t waste too much time, but check out thier web site just to make sure I’m not lying! Thier opening statement says they exist to “to promote the economic theories and political ideologies of Benito Mussolini and Saddam Hussein“. Ok, well. Moving on!
Exhibit B: Brian Moore is the pick for the Socialist Party USA. Also, don’t wast too much time, but it’s just very interesting.
Exhibit C: Tom Stevens is the pick for the Objectivist Party. Honestly Didn’t read much on these guys, but it sounds at first glance to be a ‘purist’ party. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Exhibit D: Bob Barr is the pick for the Libertarian Party. Maybe not a waste of your time. I might actually vote for this guy. Not sure yet.
Exhibit E: Chuck Baldwin is the pick for the Constitution Party. Another interesting choice. haven’t read a whole lot, but it seems he has a lot of good things to say.
So as you can see, you have plenty of choices! From crazy….to crazy!
But seriously. As far as McCain vs. Obama, they both lose in my book. That’s why I have had to get off my butt and do some research. Unfortunately I still haven’t decided…hmm. Not a good sign.
I might just have to write in for Stephen Colbert!
