There are only a few more days until the election. The election commercials on TV are non-stop and I’m tired of them. I especially dislike the negative ads that tear down their opponent without any backup data. I’ve decided on a strategy to decide who to vote for. I keep track of negative ads and will vote for the candidate with the most negative ads against them.
One of the worst negative ads shows the candidate’s photo and next to it, “Rapist, Murderer, Thief.” His name is Wiley and he is an attorney who defended criminals during his career. That ad is so bad and misleading that I decided to vote for him even though he was not someone I would usually vote for.
Aloma and I went to our voting site two days ago for early voting. It was set up like voting day, but only two other people were voting while we were there. We were in and out in about ten minutes. But, I was disappointed. The attorney with the stupid negative ads against him was not on the ballot. While our address is in Cary, North Carolina, and if we go into the yard behind the house, we are in Wake County. If we go out the front door, we’re in Chatham County where we have to vote. The attorney is on the ballot in Wake County, not Chatham County.
I’m an independent and am not fond of either the Democrat or Republican party. I tend to vote across party lines and usually for a conservative or moderate candidate.
But, next Tuesday, I will cheer for Wiley, a liberal candidate.
