vote or die at the hand of diddy.

I left these for someone else, but I thought I'd post them here as well. For all of you who are having a hard time deciding who you want to vote for, here are a few links that are excellent for research.

On The Issues - It's tagline says it all: "Every political leader on every issue." It also includes state and federal officeholders, should you want to research your local elections.

2decide.com's election table - an easy-to-read chart on the candidate's positions on important political issues

ProCon.org - It lists candidates alphabetically or by the issues.

Five Thirty Eight - From the website's FAQ: "What is the mission of this website? Most broadly, to accumulate and analyze polling and political data in way that is informed, accurate and attractive. Most narrowly, to give you the best possible objective assessment of the likely outcome of upcoming elections."

Whoever your candidate is, know that it's awesome you're declaring your vote. Too many people opt out of having their voice heard, and I think that's a shame.

shut the FUCK UP.

People like this need to GTFO of my country, for real:

Stephanie Parker, 23, a single mother puffing on a Marlboro menthol cigarette in Main Street, Mount Clemens, voted for Mr Kerry and had been drawn to Mr Obama. “Palin’s made a big difference. I think she’ll do us great. What she stands for is fantastic,” she said. What does she stand for? “I couldn’t tell really. But I love her.”

Stephanie Parker, your simple, uneducated ass is on notice. Do you hear me? ON. NOTICE.

It only gets more depressing from here.
