Election

Yay! My puppy came home!! She was skinny and dirty and her paw is hurt- BUT SHE IS HOME!

Just in time- ELECTION DAY IS TOMORROW_ THANK GOD!
That means all this CRAPOLA on the internet will Stop.

I am so over my own political party. Like SO over it.

I am almost ashamed to call myself a republican. Not because I am a moderate at heart, but because the right wing of my party is making an ASS of itself. Rape is God's Will?? Are you freaking kidding me? Your theology is all kinds of screwed up. Obama is not an American- Are you freaking kidding me? Do you really think he was able to slip by the FBI? come on. All I have for both my boys is a certificate of live birth. Mostly because I have totally neglected to go to the court house and get a copy of the birth certificate. Are my kids not real citizens? Then there is the blatant name calling and bull shit lies about what will happen if he continues to be president. If he was going to do anything- he would have done it already.
I oppose him based on his economic and educational policies.
This lady on the radio yesterday called in response to the host's question "Are you anxious about the election? What will you do if your candidate doesn't win?" She was nearly in tears saying how terrible things are. She is an artist and the economy is so bad and people don't have money for things like art. She is correct. However, I don't know what she thinks a change in administration will do. I have  a basic understanding of  the broader economic sphere. Obama came into this mess. Correct, he has not done much to make it better, but he didn't cause it. I would think Obama would be this woman's best bet. She would prob qualify for insurance, and govt assistance under Obama. Plus, the democrats are all about the arts. So what does she think will happen?
I worry that she is so desperate and scared that she poured all her hopes into a presidential candidate, like it is an instant solution. I worry about her, what if Obama wins? Will she loose hope all together? What if Romney wins and then doesn't **poof** make things better? Which disappointment is worse?
This reminds me that we can not worry about tomorrow, for today has enough troubles. Put your hope in the Lord and you will never be disappointed. Put your faith in people and you will be disappointed.
 Faith in the Lord, not elected officials. Haven't we learned this in the last 4,000 years?

  1. I feel the same way about *being* a Republican... I don't think I really AM a Republican, but I mostly vote that way. It's hard to figure out the lesser of two evils, really!
