I hate everything today. I woke up extra early, but it took over an hour to leave my house. My husband, who's usually a good guy decided today would be a good day to hassle me about this. The stupid election is today, and I'm so sick of hearing about it. I voted last week and I just want the thing to be over, so Barack Obama can redistribute my income (spread the wealth) and I can get on with my life. I'm tired of being disliked by random people on other forums I visit for being a fiscal conservative, and I'm angry with the Republican party for allowing themselves to be hijacked by the religious right, making my party nothing more than the lesser of two evils. Having grown up in Washington DC, I have a fairly good idea of how government actually works, as opposed to what they teach kids in school, and can't see myself every throwing away my vote on a third party candidate, but I think I'm starting to regret not taking the opportunity to make a statement this year, since my vote did not really matter anyway. I hope I wake up tomorrow happier and can just let this crap go.
