I hate election time. It seems that political poll groups come out of the wood works. They are supposed to be independent, but they are anything but.
Tonight a person came to our door at 9PM. I thought it was my daughter knocking so I opened it, then pretty much immediately closed it. Then I opened it and asked who she represented, the Democratic Party and if yes I was going to vote Republican. Well she says they are independent. I then proceed to tell her that it is dangerous to come to a persons house at 9PM. Actually, I find it disrespectful to come to a persons house at that time of night to discuss politics. I just closed the door.
Well she left some paperwork on the deck and sure enough, it was skewed towards Democrats. Everything was positive for the Democrats and negative for the Republicans. So I will vote Republican regardless.
I know that it sounds stupid, but I am so tired of this political crap and I am definitely tired of political polls trying to get me to answer how they want so they can make the Democratic Party look like they are winning. I am sure the Republicans do the same, but in all the years I have lived here, I have yet to really get one from the Republicans. Seems odd to me.
Could I have been nicer to this woman, yes. However, I have told these groups not to contact us, but they do not listen. The next time I just might answer their questions, but not the way they want. It will not matter because I am sure they will take what I say and twist it to their own agenda.
I pray that if you are like me and really hate solicitors that come to your door, then you learn some patience. Yes, I know I am a good one to talk with shutting the door on the woman that was doing her job. So pray that I too learn some patience. We all have a choice, to either open or close the door to a potential person that needs to be saved.
