Top 10 Reasons I Hate Election Years

10. People stop listening to reason!
9. All sides act like bullies and try to sway voters with put-downs instead of logic, setting bad examples for our children.
8. Families and friends make a game out of turning on each other, instead of supporting each other, again setting bad examples.
7. People argue with emotions instead of with facts, and too many politicians campaign totally on emotions rather than facts.
6. People send chain e-mails without checking the facts first.
5. Both sides ignore the real issues, and many in the news media join in instead of reporting facts.
4. The campaign ads do not give reliable sources.
3. We lose at least one year of action while our leaders are campaigning and fighting each other.
2. Too few focus on the good both sides have done and instead focus only on the negatives.
1. It divides our country, families, and friends at a time we cannot afford to be divided.
