I can state with a fair amount of confidence that the No. 1 reason I look forward to Primary Election Day 2024 is the cessation of the endless stream of political ads on TV.
Oh, brother. Spare me. Please!
They have been non-stop, repetitive, boring and only semi-truthful as far as I can determine.
The Republican Party primary is getting most of the attention, given the effort put forth by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to defeat state legislators who favored his impeachment this past year.
And the next time I hear the words “true conservative” when describing these GOP candidates, I am likely to, well … aww hell, I don’t know. I might just curse out loud.
Liberals are called conservative and vice versa. This is just on the GOP side. Who do I believe? I don’t know. Nor do I care. That’s ignorance and apathy all rolled up into one Texas voter.
I am casting my ballot tomorrow morning. First thing. Going to the polling place in Princeton, where I am likely to run into a horde of campaign workers standing outside the designated wall of separation from the polling station.
I’ll just breeze on past ’em and cast my ballot.
Then I’ll get to wait for the next go-round in TV ads. For now, I am getting a breather. Not a day — or a moment — too soon.
