Tomorrow is Election Day. Why isn’t it a national holiday
where everyone gets the day off in order to actively research the candidates
and issues and then get to the polls in a timely manner instead of having to
get up super early and stand in line in November—seriously November—right after
Daylight Savings Time? Because that would make sense.
And this election year is not about making sense. If it did,
voters wouldn’t be so confused about who stands for what. Does Obama want to
marry Romney or does Romney want to make an honest candidate out of that Ryan
fellow? Is Akin a Scientist, Christian Scientist or Scientologist? Does Prop B
stand for Brotastic or Bronchitis?
Anyway, for people who actually care to learn a little,
teensy-weensy bit about who or what they’re voting for, here are a few
resources. These are by no means comprehensive or wholly impartial.
