This may be the FIRST big election since I have turned 18 (not that many years, but hey...who's counting?) where I am truly apathetic about tomorrow. I hate it, but it's true. Of course I am going to vote...and of course there are a handful of candidates that I do feel strongly about, but that's it, just a handful. Because I am not trying to sway anyone's opinions over here or am not any sort of "public official" with influence, I will say I am a conservative. I have always voted that way (with the exception of a few peeps here and there) and will vote *mostly* that way tomorrow. No need to get in to specifics here...I like to call myself a "fiscal conservative" with some moderate conservative views as well. Not really the point right now.
The point is, with that being said...I am not truly excited about any of the candidates, Republican or Democrat (reminder I am only talking about S.C. politics here) for tomorrow. I don't really know how our state has gotten into this situation, but it has. I think a LOT of people feel this way, I *think*, of course I can't really be positive. Regardless, I am just so dang ready for this election to be over. I am SO sick of the mud slinging (done by BOTH parties) and lies. If I had it my way we would fire EVERY single politician in the country and start from scratch. There are way too many things wrong with our political system and politicians to even begin to talk about here on this ole' blog, but I am just SO over politics in general.
It truly is a sad day for me. I used to be SO passionate about it, I would get so into elections, campaigns, results, etc. it would make my heart race. It really is terrible that in my SHORT 9 years of voting eligibility I am already FED up. Maybe a politician will come along in the future that will ignite my passion again, I truly hope so. But, for now...all I can feel about tomorrow is apathy.
