This week I cracked open my voting ballot. The first thing listed is the presidential candidates. While the usual suspects are on there, what I was unaware of was all the others who are listed as wannabes. Green party, communists, socialists, Constitutional and Veteran I would expect to see but some of the others are, to say the least, unexpected. What the heck is the Nutrition candidate anyway? What kind of platform could they have, do they think if elected they would force the closer of all fast food restaurants? Maybe they want to reclaim old malls and turn them into indoor farms? How about the pacifists, if elected they would do nothing? What about the Prohibition party, really? I didn’t think it would be so easy to get on the ballot but it obviously is simple, or there would not be four different socialist, independent people of Colorado or the Kotlikoff for President. I know they are going to get their own vote and maybe their mom’s but it seems crazy to see all of them listed. I guess it speaks to the process that it is open to everyone, it is just surprising how many want the job.
