#%$@!& Republicans!

I need to vent! I just got a handful of of those stiff cardboard mailers that political candidates are sending out--from the Repuke opponent of my Democratic state representative, and I'm ticked! Three in one day, on top of the one I got yesterday, and all are full of lies and distortions!

My rep, Suzanne Ness, has been doing a great job in Springfield, and I thought she was a shoo-in for reelection, especially since I've hardly heard anything out of her opponent, Connie Cain. Now, all of a sudden, after early voting has already started, Cain and a PAC that supports her are showering voters with this disgusting garbage.

I don't know what to make of this sudden onslaught. I HOPE it means Cain is getting worried sbout her chances. All I really know about her is that she's an extreme forced birther who issued a celebratory statement when Roe was overturned.

Ugh, this election is getting ugly. Thanks for letting me rant!

I don't read the mailers, and I mute or skip all political ads on the TV (usually skip, I don't like commercials of any kind).

I keep a recycle bin where I go through the mail, they don't even make it into the house.
