Today Is The Day That The Lord Hath Made...

Well election day is finally here… and what a long, tumultuous ride it has been! I managed to keep my opinion to myself up until this past weekend… that is what happens after you have absorbed so much one-sided information from the ongoing media crap Hubby keeps on the boob-tube. They report the same stories over and over (mostly about the liberal senator) and I can only take so much of it!
The most amusing part of it all to me was the responses that I get toward my blog and its content. Most of the responses remind me of people who I can only imagine live under a rock and live some fantasy tale where they just float through life only hearing a few facts and not actually looking at the entire picture. They are dreamers, wishers, hopefuls, idealists, romantics… always optimistic and never realist… I am sorry but I live in the real world and the real world sucks. It involves a job, responsibilities, purpose, loyalty, integrity, goals, a plan for the future, and a back up plan for obstacles… I could go on and on… but, thinking about it and everything else in the world makes my head ache.
I will say that I thought for a long time today about what exactly upsets me the most about this election. It is not the fact that the Democrats might get elected to office… I really do not mind the Democratic party- to a certain extent. It is really just that I do not like their candidate. Their candidate is what angers me the most… there are just way too many questions revolving around him and his history and his beliefs and it makes me uncomfortable- I just do not know how to explain it to be honest. And it just amazes me how many folks are infatuated with him because he is so “cool” and because he is the Hollywood stars’ choice… blah, blah, blah…
I got the polls around 3:50 this afternoon, walked right in and voted, and was back in my car by 4:00pm… I said a short prayer when I pushed the touch screen for the X next to McC’s name… today I prayed for us… and our country… may God bless us…and our country…

Angrier By The Minute

I am seriously worried about the future of this country depending on what happens on Tuesday. I believe that the liberal media has influenced this election to their point of view so much that every “news” channel on television is reporting the same line of crap. Why is the liberal media airing 80-90% pro-Oboma and only 10-20% McCain? Every “news” channel I flipped to for the past two months is pro-liberal Oboma and his false idol views. They have seriously put him up on a high pedestal and turned him into a Hollywood star. He truly is the next American idol… or should I say anti-American idol? Who knows at this point? In my opinion, he is the most UN-American presidential candidate in history. He claims to be one thing and yet his history says different. He is all about “changing’ this country… yet, I have not heard one changing tactic that will make any difference to my life. He is nothing but a smiling star in an expensive suit with a huge following of folks who keep proclaiming that he is for their special “rights”… would someone please explain to me what “rights” they are fighting for beyond the rights that we the general population already have? Are they special in that they get different or more rights than the rest of us?
And what about his ability to spend millions of dollars on television air time? Why would a liberal who wants everyone to donate all of their “extra” earnings to the poor people go and spend $3million dollars on a television infomercial on him? Why not donate those freaking $3million dollars to the poor? Why not donate all that campaign money to the poor so the rest of us can keep our hard-earned money for our retirement? This whole entitlement mentality just needs to stop now. It should be my choice to donate my money to the poor or charitable- not the government’s decision! It should be a gift from me to the charity of my choice… not taken from me by law and given to whoever the governments deems needy of it.
I am so angry this week and the closer we get to Tuesday and the more I keep hearing the same crap on television, radio or internet, the angrier I get! All I do know is that whatever happens Tuesday is in the hands of the higher power in the heavens and I cannot do anything to change it or control it. I do know that I do not have to support or honor the false idol if the liberals manage to vote him into office… isn’t that what freedom of speech is all about, right?

Early Bird Gets The Vote?

I could not believe my eyes this morning at 5:15am when the little old white haired lady showed up at the park where we were getting ready to start boot camp… she was there to get in line TO VOTE. Huh???!!! At 5:15am? Come on! Seriously! Who in their right mind would show up just short of two hours before they open the early polls (and in 35 degree temps no less) to wait to vote? Call me crazy but that is just a tad on the kooky side of thinking… By the time we finished our workout the parking lot was PACKED with vehicles… folks practically running to get into line! I am really start to worry that Election Day will be one huge headache for those of us who did not have the opportunity to early vote… All I can do is just hope that the masses get all voted up before November 4th so the remaining few of us won’t be waiting for hours on the big day… Fingers crossed!

The Sign Of The Times

Someone sent me this photo on email yesterday and I think it sums up how most of us "righties" feel these days... Could it possibly be the sign of the times?

I'm Now Excited!

I could not believe my eyes today when one of my co-workers showed me the msn headline off the Internet while I was trying to finish up my test in training class… McC has picked his running mate… and it was a lady that I really had not even heard of… as soon as I finished my exam (and passed BTW!!) I cruised to the web and read up on her… I read several articles on her and her husband… someone in our class knew who she was and seemed to be relieved he picked her…
Now I am not going to blog today about my rant on this election and how I much I think the other party is this or that. I really do try to keep my opinion to myself in the politics department because when I do voice my opinion about it, I only get myself into trouble. You all know I am a conservative and that is the party that I always support. And unless the other party made some serious changes and/or ever nominated a candidate that just blew me away politically, my views will never change. And after really pondering the choice that McC made today, I am now officially excited about this election! I think this election is now all the more interesting and exciting! And if you are not affiliated with a certain party, please research your candidates and their running mates and do not just listen and believe all the media hype we see on television and the Internet. Half of the things these politicians say is crap and not true… so it is your individual responsibility to research and discover the TRUTH.
I have made an effort to steer clear of the television this week because of the other party’s convention has been on all week on way too many channels. I do not understand why a national convention needs to go on an on for an entire week! What a waste of time and money! I cringe when I hear the words and music from this past week’s convention that Hubby has insisted on checking out… Let’s just see if the liberal media covers the conservative’s convention just as much this coming week.
On a different note, I cannot imagine what my Grandparents would have thought if these candidate packages were nominated back 20 years ago… boy, have the times changed or what?
