Vote correct or don't vote at all


 As people prepare to go out and vote today, or on any other election day, keep in mind what you are voting for and who you are voting for.

Just because a candidate has the most signs polluting the streets trying to hypnotize you into remembering  their name when you hit the polls doesn't mean they care for you. A candidate having the biggest sign with their mug plastered on it doesn't tell you about their political platform or political agenda.

And if you hear or see a political ad trashing their opponent or name calling, is this really who you want to vote for
"Hey, I rock, this other candidate sucks and is an idiot. Vote for me!" 
Putting your phone number on an automatic dialer saying "Vote for Such-and-Such, they care about your neighborhood" says nothing about "Such-and-Such" track record on  supporting your neighborhood.
           
Just because I have the right to drink alcohol doesn't mean it's good for me to drink a bottle of vodka when a sip of beer gets me drunk! So  just because I have the right to vote doesn't mean it's good for me to vote for the candidate with the most signs around the neighborhood or the biggest cutest sign.

Know the Candidate. Know their political platform, and vote for righteousness. If you can't do that, don't vote! Otherwise you may be thinking you are sipping on beer, but you might be actually gulping down vodka in a big pretty bottle.

  1. So true. It takes time to really research all the candidates, but we should know whom we're voting for. We should make use of all of the information out there about the candidates.
