Seriously. This election feels like it's been going on forever.

It feels longer than any that I've ever known in my lifetime. And keep in mind, I'm starting to get older here, which means time should seem to be passing way faster than it was when I was a kid.

I'm sick of seeing the same old commercials every time I turn on the TV. I am sick of politics ruining every show. Well, you might say, don't watch TV. Yeah, if only it were that simple. There's no escaping it in public either. In public, there are signs plastered all over the sides of the road and conversations about politics.

Anyone else feel the same way?

Me, too. I thought I could escape it for a few hours, watching the big Texas Tech game. NOPE! That dang dumb-butt Charlie Gibson just HAD to break in at half-time and show campaign clips. GRRRRRRRRR!

Don't watch it. The news on the TV is controlled. You have other media on the Internet that is not controlled, just read the news you want on the Internet.

I agree. The mute button on my controller is getting worn down. I even unplugged my phone so it would go straight to voice mail because we're getting a zillion political calls every day.

Don't cry about it people..
Turn off the TV, listen to sports
talk radio like JT the brick and
Jim Rome. Watch basketball & football.
Go to the bar and get drunk until the election
is over.
Is it really bothering you that bad.
My wife doesn't even know who
is running!!!!

It can be tiring, I agree.

When I get election fatigue and want to throw in the hat, I usually ask myself "What would Joe The Plumber do?".

Then I don't do that thing.

Today I was verbally abused by a McCain/Palin supporter at the supermarket. So, yes, I can't wait until this is all over.

Oh, if you are wondering how he knew I voted for Obama, this man saw I only had 2 items, so he said "Go ahead. I insist." Then, out of the blue, he added "as long as you're not an Obama supporter." I smiled, but then he said "Oh, so you're one of those pro infant murderers?"

I kid you not. I couldn't wait to get out of there.
