This presidential campaign could not be any easier to choose a side. That is if you do your homework and not just get your info from the DRIVE-BUY MEDIA OUTLETS.
Because I work in advertising, some are shocked that I'm not a liberal. I have friends that don't understand how I could possibly be conservative, let alone a republican.
But at least I give anyone the opportunity to have an opinion, I reserve the right to make fun you. Argue with you. Yes maybe even yell at you.
I didn't really care about any of it until Carter won. He sucked as a President. Nice enough guy. Boycotted the Olympics, I hated him for that.
Then I voted for Ronald Reagan because I loved how he framed the American experience. I bought into the whole smaller government was better, be strong, carry the big ass stick, mentality. I actually looked forward to hearing him speak. Around that time, my creative career was taking off and I became a capitalist. I hated paying taxes. The government does nothing for me really. They have their hand in my pocket and I DON'T LIKE IT!
I've been a conservative republican ever since. Some of the social stuff makes me queezy. ProChice/ProLife is not my litmus test. It's none of my business what happens either, way. Gay marriage-who cares. Religion is not bad.
I like the positive.
I need to work on being more positive myself. It's too damn easy to bitch about everything all the time.
I've always thought I was a half full kind of guy, but I slip easily into the sarcastic, negative nebob sided too often.
It really is black and white in this election, positive or negative, big gov or small gov.
You choose.
