Options (Not)

I am just so excited about the 2016 Presidential Election.

(Not)

I mean, we have two of the most exciting people of all time running for the most prestigious office in the land.

(Not)

After all, very few questions are being expressed among the electorate about the suitability of each of the nominees.

(Not)

And, of course, both of the candidates are known far and wide as persons of honor, their personal and business dealings have always been above reproach, and little or no dispersion has been cast upon their characters.

(Not)

And it goes without saying that each, in their characterization of the other, have always taken the high road, and have avoided accusation and slander.

(Not)

The very familiar female Democrat who bears the initials ‘HC’ and who, without contradiction, may be one of the most qualified nominees in the 24 decades in which this nation has existed. And for whom, if I lived 24 or 240 or 2400 decades, I could never cast my vote, primarily as the result of her support for the homosexual agenda, and abortion on demand; both practices which fly in the face of the admonitions of scripture.

Then, we have the equally familiar male Republican who bears the initials ‘DT’ and who, (almost) without contradiction, may be one of the least qualified nominees in the 24 decades in which this nation has existed; having never held public office of any kind. And for whom I can barely imagine casting my humble ballot. One who exudes the demeanor of a second Messiah, and has, interestingly enough, garnered the evangelical vote, (though he claims he wasn’t aware he needed God’s forgiveness for anything), who has consistently spewed hate speech towards women, (and in one instance, a disabled person), who seems altogether unfamiliar with world affairs, but ‘til now admonished us to trust him, (while offering no plans by which he will accomplish the nation’s agenda), who has threatened the use of nuclear weapons, who has heaped praise on the leader of Russia, who has routinely out-sourced the manufacture of goods, who has failed to pay contractors for work completed, and who has been luke-warmly received, (if at all) by congressional members of his own party.

There have been some who have encouraged me to vote for a third party candidate, (or to write in my own name). But contrary to anything they might believe, I know a vote for a third party is as much as waste of my vote, as if I cast it for a lady with the initials ‘HC’ or a man with the initials ‘DT’. Third party candidates preach an admirable line, but when it is all said and done they will garner single digit results, and their names will hardly merit an asterisk in the history books.

Options?

We have two.

(And we have none)

Yes, I am just so excited about the 2016 Presidential Election.

(Not)
