If you are voting next week make sure you know how your candidates feel about important issues. Make sure you are voting for the person who shares your ability to make informed intelligent decisions.

I've done my research on our elections. Voting this year is going to be fun!

Here is a simple formula for deciding how to vote. I've dumbed it down to a cliffnotes version:
I vote for a cantidate based on negative advertising. No no, not the content of the ads...but which shows they air during. For example, if I see a negative tv ad during "The Daily Show" then I must assume that the person airing that ad is lying, but wants me to think that they are lying, knowing that I am smart enough to watch the Daily Show. Hoping I will in turn actually vote against the subject of the negative ad campaign. But I fool them by voting for whatever cantidate is being smeared. I'm that smart.
On the other hand, if I'm watching Dancing with the Stars and a negative ad airs, I realize that anyone watching Dancing with the Stars is stupid enough to believe a negative ad and will not second guess it. I prove them wrong. I second guess every ad...and in turn vote for whatever is being portrayed in the negative.
So the next time you see an ad for a puppy kicking, christmas hating, devil worshiping cantidate...be sure to check what show its airs during. Only then can you truly use my method for choosing the right candidate. What happens when an ad airs durig LOST?
