Pol-o-tics

Politics is one of those issues that I avoid, 1. because I try to avoid conflict and 2. I guess I feel like I never really have a handle on what is going on.


But this presidential election hits a much closer to home since we are military.  I get extremely upset when I see everyone on T.V. spouting their negative opinion about McCain and Palin.  I understand that people think differently how things should be done, but the way "conservatives" are being treated is disgusting.  The things people say about Mc Cain/Palin are disgusting, it is OK if you disagree with them, but have some respect- they are presidential hopefuls, grow up people, stop the name calling and act like adults.  

I feel like I have done my homework to understand the stance of each candidate.  I am not going to get into what I agree or disagree with but here are some thoughts.   

If Americans simply vote on emotion we heading for disaster.  Electing unqualified people simply because you are angry at the bush administration will drastically weaken this country.  If you think the economy is bad now, wait until the far left get thru with the federal budget, this country will change for the worse.   

I do not understand why, anyone who has studied what Obama really stands for, would still vote for him.  And that statement is aimed even more at those Christians who plan to vote for him.  

I know it is harsh, but for those of you who are family and close friends, do not tell me if you vote for Obama, I'll have no respect left for you. 

Vote for what is right, not for what is popular.

OK, but not great.

Pretty much sums up how I've been feeling.  We are going into week 7 of deployment.  I'm just feeling tired and overwhelmed.  I'm OK, but not great.
