Dear Brad Henry

     The state of Oklahoma voted for Clinton in the primary election, but our governor decided we’re not smart enough to make out own decisions and cast his vote for Obama.

     I, along with the dozens of other voters that turned out for the primary, would like to say, “Thank you jackass.”

     After years of dedicated voting, your actions finally taught me something I’ve been told for years, my vote doesn’t count.  At least not this time.

     I’m that annoying friend that says, “It’s important to vote,” “Exercise your rights,” and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.

     I’m also that person that votes at 7 a.m. just for the “I voted” sticker.  I wear it all day.

     Now in my friends’ eyes, I look like an idiot.

     I have always believed I was fortunate enough to live in a country where I had a say in the government.  But nooooooooo, you had to come along and change that.

     If I knew no matter how I voted you had already made a decision, I would have focused my attention on something more important, American Idol.  At least my vote counts there.

     Who do you think was responsible for Sanjaya?

     That’s right, I voted for him.  Each week.  And the week I didn’t vote, he lost.  My voted counted there.  What am I suppose to now?  I haven’t even watched this season.  It’s too late to catch up.

     Maybe you are on to something.  Maybe we’re not smart enough to make our own decisions. 

     After all, we did vote for you.
