Undecided? Then don’t even bother.

With just a week remaining before the election, there are still polls showing a percentage of voters who claim to be undecided. If you’re undecided about THIS election, then you should probably just stay home next Tuesday.

This isn’t the 1990s when everything was honky-dory. These past four years, America has suffered an economic slump, was hit by a major terrorist attack, invaded Afghanistan and started an unprovoked (i.e. “pre-emptive”) war with Iraq. And none of the current administration’s responses have been scandal-free.

Day in and day out, the Democrats and Republicans have been slugging it out--no rhetoric too absurd, no tricks too dirty. You could build a new wing for the Library of Congress just to house all the books written explaining all the bungling going on.

Even if you get all your political info at the water cooler and late night comedians, you should already have enough dander up one way or the other.

This election boils down to just one difference. You either believe Bush is an incompetent liar who mislead America into an ill-advised war in Iraq, or you don’t care what the facts are and think Bush is a “good (enough) leader.”

This late in the game, if you’re still uncertain what to think about John Kerry and George Bush, you live in a bubble and can’t cast even a marginally informed vote.

So, instead of casting a random, uninformed vote next Tuesday, go home and take a nap. And let the rest of us decide the fate of the world.
