Local woman, Susan Colson, is thinking about her decision in the 2010 midterm election. She lives in Texas' 6th congressional district. In her district she has the choice of incumbent Joe Barton (R) and challenger David Cozad (D). She has her reservations.
Colson explains, "Sure, Joe Barton is a disgusting oil company stooge, and he's been in the same corrupt office for 25 years... but to be fair both of those guys look like child molesters. "
Joe Barton became nationally famous momentarily when he defended BP Oil Company execs after the notorious gulf spill, drawing much criticism.
Colson exclaims, "I'm not a Tea Partier, or a Liberal, but when I look into the eyes of both candidates, I just hear the banjo music from Deliverance. I wonder if Cozad is an old frat buddy of Barton... Haha... reminds me of Kerry and Bush, kind of. There's not really much to choose from."
Colson continued to say how she's basically tired of all the election "bullshit", and was shocked to see a wikipedia picture of her "Gerrymandered district".
"It makes no sense. We stretch from Arlington down to a back-assward-looking stretch into Trinity County in East Texas."
As of press time, Colson stated that she didn't want to say who she would end of voting for, but hopes that the pictures of both candidates will reframe from being broadcast on television.
I think I will start voting for the candidate who wears the best tie.
