Srsly I still don't know who to vote for. I was all set on voting for Fernando Ferrer six months, maybe even a year ago, but as the day drew near I quickly realized I was torn, 50-50. Bloomberg's reign was definitely better than Giuliani's, but of course this is based on nothing but my cold, hard feelings. Most incumbents remain in office, because I suppose people fear change. I haven't had any chance to watch their debates; I've seen sound bites and criticisms of it. And now the day is here, I'm no longer 50-50, I'm 49-51.
I also have no idea about the other offices, like public advocate, borough president, comptroller, and city council (well the guy in my district is running unopposed, I feel the world has been lifted from me shoulders!). I know I don't have to vote for that, but if you know me I like using things to the fullest extent. There are also ballot proposals to vote on, the only one which I know is Proposition 2 (public transportation). Then again I would not have known anything about anyone if the NYC Campaign Finance Board didn't send me a Voter Guide... which contains a plethora of information, like the guy running for mayor under the Rent is Too Damn High Party (RTD):
1. WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE IN THE CITY YOU WOULD ADDRESS IF ELECTED?
RENT is Too Damn High there is nothing else to talk about. All poor people are being ran out of New York.
2. WHAT OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES WOULD YOU ADDRESS IF ELECTED?
RENT is Too Damn High there is nothing else to talk about.
3. WHAT MAKES YOU THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR THIS OFFICE?
I am a Rent Activist with real solutions to the High Rent Crisis that is driving everyone out of this City. That is what makes me the best candidate for this job.
You can't make this stuff
up. He talks like I do... when I was 10-years-old!
