I voted for the Antichrist, how about you?

We voted yesterday, early, to make sure that the polling place didn't run out of Democrat ballots, what with all the reports of Republicans jumping ship just so they could interfere with the Democrats primary. And as we went in, there was a man holding two ballots, a Democratic one and a Republican one, just to see what he would be voting for. After a long and deliberate contemplation he decided to go with the Republican one. What a schmuck.

Aside: The only time in my life I was not a registered Democrat, I was a member of the Green Party, but I think they eat Greens in Indiana (with a little breading and ketchup).

I like both Clinton and Obama, I think they are both smart and principled, they both have their strong and weak points, and I will proudly and confidently vote for either one in November. I think Clinton is more politically savvy, but Obama is right on the gas tax issue. I don't give a rat butt about race or gender, I just want a good leader, which I think they both have the capacity to be. What decided my vote was Rush Limbaugh goading Republicans to jump party lines and vote for Clinton just to gum up the Democrats primary. I really loathe Limbaugh, and whatever he says someone should do, I seriously consider doing the opposite.

My Dad's politics are somewhere over to the right side of the spectrum the way ultraviolet is a color. It's so far off, you can't even see it. He was telling me that he really fears what might happen if Obama is elected president, since he firmly believes that Obama is the Antichrist. He may mean well, but his election will signal the eruption of widespread war and pestilence in the middle east, spreading to engulf the world. Or something like that.

So I voted for the Antichrist.
