Politics and Smolitics

Since I hear CNN all day long and all of the different events that go on with the campaigns, I feel that it is only right for me to decide what candidate would be a fit with my views. I am not gonna lie, but I strongly do not have enough knowledge on my views to really persuade my vote...my typical answer is ummm......Democrat? ( only because that's what Leo and Charity are..they used to pick out what I wear so why not still pick out who I should vote for?) and P.Diddy's "vote or die" marketing skew still registers in my head..so that being said its about time to figure out who could be Prez, just so I can sound somewhat seasoned for politics. I have Obama and Hillary. Just off the top of my head for those to Democratic candidates I'd vote for Hillary. Simply because Oprah is involved with Obama...end of story.
I could really just go off of that, but that would seem really naive and its people like me who get idiots in office. aka Bush...did most of the Bush voters really know who they were electing twice in office?

That being said I googled " Who should I vote for" and it just so happened there was a quiz that was called " Who should I vote for"..I knew it was all too easy, but I got excited and started my journey anyways. As I was reading I was very impressed that I knew what the questions meant and that I could honestly answer with my views and what not..THEN I reach the part of "ready to register" and I thought to myself this doesn't seem right, but I'll do it anyways..I really want to see my candidate. So in the long run the joke was on me. The final step was please respond "Yes" or "No" to each offer below and click "Submit".
All offers are optional - sign up if you are interested. Well I wasn't interested in anything. It was that same damn trick just like " YOu've won a new Ipod, click to receive it!" it got me again!!!!! I didn't want to register for Netflix for 2 weeks or free Burger King worth $50 dollars or complimentary ring tones... Shame on me for thinking there was an easy quiz to figure out who'd I vote for...obviously there isn't...Politics know how to get those who have no idea. Zing 'em with a fake quiz! I was still proud of myself for trying to care. Now I'll just vote for Hillary.

...Still on the road to my politician. I'll just have to listen to CNN instead of taking the cliff notes version online!
