I avoid confrontation as if it were the plague. If I
disagree with you 99.999% of the time I will hold my tongue and nod quietly as
I listen as you argue your points. When I read a particularly heated discussion
on Facebook or read an article online arguing for or against a candidate or
issue I feel my blood pressure rise and my heart starts to race. It's comical
in a way. But for this reason I loathe election years. Each day, nay each hour,
there is a new indiscretion revealed, a scandal uncovered, a ridiculous quote
displayed, and so forth. My head feels like it is in a spin of contradicting
information. This makes it difficult when politically I'm on the fence, or maybe I'm in the middle? Each
time I hear a politician speak I find things I agree and do not agree with. I
have taken those online 'Who is my candidate' quizzes and EVERYTIME I am in the
50-52% range which means I only agree with 1/2 of what each opponent says. So
how do I choose which half? It baffles my mind how people can be so certain
that one candidate is the one for them. Each time I think I have decided
something else surfaces that makes me question if the person is right for the magnanimous
job of leading our nation. Can I say neither? Neither Romney nor Obama? If I
only agree with 1/2 of what either of them stand for?!!! Le sigh.
