My paper-recycling bin runneth over

 

     Another election is approaching our area.  Politicians waste trees and money sending flyers to me.  Said flyers leave the mailbox and go directly into the recycling bin.  I could probably save time by placing the blue bin under the mailbox and label it ‘political flyers here please’.  Oh, if only they’d get a clue as to how much money they waste.  No, I don’t read the flyers especially when the mudslinging begins as it always does.

     If you want my vote, do come and talk to me.  Give me some proof that you actually care about the people in your district.  Don’t waste my time calling me on the phone with a poll.  I refuse to answer questions asked by faceless voices.  Another thing that will greatly impress me is if you don’t bad mouth other candidates.  My parents always said, “If you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything.”  Nothing lowers my opinion of a candidate faster than when one begins mudslinging.

     Do not talk to me as if I am stupid.  I stay informed and actually have opinions.  However, you will never see them on this blog because my politics are private.  There’s nothing I hate more than having someone try to shove their politics down my throat.  Therefore, I refuse to do it to my readers.

  1. My pet-peeve is the leaving of long tedious recorded phone messages on your answering machine because they know that today’s machine’s will not allow you to get rid of a message without going through it.

    So, I started my own campaign. I called up each one who did it to me and told them I would never vote for anyone who was so rude. I also commented on the danger of tying up someone’s phone if they needed to make an emergency call. This had no logical bearing to it, but consider the minds involved. Never heard from them again.

    Yeah, they send my MIL into a tizzy too–not fun listening to her drive DH crazy on the phone after one of their calls.
