JosieGrosie: Bucket of Noodles

I turn 18 next month and will be of legal voting age. The two canadates running for senate here in washington are Mike McGavick and Maria Cantwell. I decided to research the canadates in order to see who I think will best help the state. I was looking at issues that were important to me such as gay marriage and rights, education, minimum wage hike, heathcare and the environment. Maria Cantwell had some great points, but I heard different things from different sources.

My main problem is with Mike McGavick. Can anyone even tell me his stance on these issues? When I googled him, I came across his blog. I really respected him after reading it. He basically said that he is annoyed and upset with polotics today because most politicians are more concerned with discrediting their competators rather than the actual issues that are important to us. He went on to tell his readers everything he thought his opponents would say about him, stating “Now that my faults are out in the open, we can move onto the issues that matter.”

I think “Now this is a guy who really cares about the issues here in Washington. This is a guy who’s going to get things done.” To make sure that he was going to get the right things done, I decided to research his views on these important issues. The problem? He had none. The only thing I could find on his page, was him trying to discredit Maria Cantwell, the very thing he said he hated. Now this guy isn’t so great, hes actually hypocrytical. And I still can’t find his views on the issues.

WTF is up with that? And I was wondering if anyone else knew his views, because by reading his blog comments, I see that there is still a lot of people who are willing to vote for him. I guess it could be a Republican / Democrat thing right? Of course, I don’t believe in voting because of parties, but rather because of the stance on issues I care about, but geez, I really can’t see why anyone would vote this guy into office.
