The Dreaded Voting Booth

I must mark my ballot....unable to choose! So into the booth.....either choice...and we LOSE !! They spew out the dirt...as those candidates scramble While issues they skirt...my vote is a gamble! Their words sound so fishy.....washy and wishy They blame their opponents...while making proponents Ridiculous claims!! They should be ashamed!! So what should I do??? Once more we are screwed!! Who should I vote for....from these two I deplore?? While they cover their asses....I'll take off my glasses Should I make my vote blind? And hope they'll do fine?? Pray they don't sink the boat...............as finally I vote!!

Yep, I have to say no matter who we choose to vote for, we are screwed! I believe it is all just a sign of the times! They ask are you Republican or Democrat...why can't we be neither and just try to vote for the guy who's gonna do right? But I don't see any running that are, they all just make empty promises and dig up dirt on each other.

Believe me, you're not the only one having this problem. Vicki and I are in a quandary as well. And Carrie, my book, "As I Recall", became available today on Amazon and can be found through the Soup site. I hope you'll own one. Keep on writing....RAY
