Following Your Heart... or Following the Herd?






A Few days ago I read a post from a friend of ours wife, that I don't even know... I just have not been able to stop thinking about this. She just put into words exactly what I have been thinking so I thought I would copy and paste word for word, I hope she doesn't mind....??. Thanks in advance Emily C. and very well said! Keep blazing the trail in California!


"I wish I were voting for Obama. I know that sounds crazy because if I wish i was then why don't i just go vote for Obama? Well, unfortunately there isn't really anything in the core democratic platform that I agree with. From higher taxes to more government programs to his Cut and Run stand on the war to the social issues like abortion (a HUGIE for me) and the protection of marriage. Go prop 8!

So, he can't have my vote but I can respect how thrilling it must be to have a candidate you're really excited about. And boy are the democrats excited...as are most of the independents...and let's face it, a bunch of republicans have jumped ship, too. I mean, he's got t-shirts, mugs and kitchen towels at Urban Outfitters. I don't recall piles of John Kerry anything flying off the shelves! He's beyond celebrity status.

It's so much more fulfilling to be passionate about politics when your PRO somebody instead of just ANTI the other guy, ya know?"


I will be so glad when this is all over!!! and do no longer have to listen to all the political rhetoric. As much as I DO NOT agree with with Obama, I sort of wish he does win just to shut everyone up especially all the venomous democrats. On one last note, did anyone watch Obama's infomercial this last Wednesday? I mean seriously... could that possibly have been more ridiculous? more set up, staged or spoon fed? Could be possibly be more pretentious? SERIOUSLY!

Good luck to all you voters and FOLLOW YOUR HEART!

Oh, how I love you ;) Thanks for that. I find myself getting all worked up about this. I was reading on your wall the other day some Deric guy saying "tell me one reason to vote for McCain". In my opinion there are not a lot of solid reasons to vote for McCain but there are several reasons NOT to vote for Obama. Partial birth abortions being a huge one. What kind of person believes that is okay? I could probably write a dissertation on this but I'll shut up. Let it be over soon!

That's so true! I certainly don't love McCain, but I just hope and pray that we don't end up with Obama.
