Politics

I’m not really into politics. Mainly because my personal opinion is that politicians aren’t to be trusted. In an election year you have two choices. Vote for this liar or vote for that liar.
I particularly am not into politics this year. The only presidential candidate I liked is not one of the two we’re stuck with. So that means I’m going to have to start digging information up on both of them if I want to make an informed choice.

Because I’m sure not going to ask anyone for their opinion.

Good grief! I thought one friend and I might come to blows while discussing Mr.’s Obama and McCain. Or Mr.’s McCain and Obama, lest anyone think I’m showing any partiality.

People are certainly opinionated when it comes to ‘their guy.’

And I’m surprised at how many people will vote one party or another, just because that’s what they’ve always done. I used to say I was a Democrat. Now I don’t know what I am because I’ve voted both ways.

I just don’t know what to think this year. And it doesn’t help that James Dobson, Chairman of the Board at Focus on the Family, said: “I never thought I would hear myself saying this,” Dobson said in a radio broadcast to air Monday. “… While I am not endorsing Senator John McCain, the possibility is there that I might.” ( http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/07/20/christian-conservative-dobson-may-endorse-mccain/ )

Most of the Christian’s I know staunchly support McCain. But they also supported President Bush. And while I don’t hate his guts the way some do, I think the country has gone to the dogs under his watch.

Everything is such a mess now that I think it would take God, Himself, to straighten it all out.
I do agree with some emails I’ve been getting, though.

Whoever winds up winning the presidential election needs to consider this. Other countries have to eat. Let’s make the price of a barrel of wheat exactly the cost of a barrel of oil. That would go a long way toward repairing the American economy.

So would taxing the snot out of imports. Especially imports from American owned businesses that moved out of the country so they could pay lower wages to their employees. In fact, tax them double because they just deserve it for taking the jobs away from American’s in their lust for higher profits!

Another great solution, again in my opinion, is to let the government in Iraq know that if they don’t start shipping absolutely oil to America posthaste, at no charge to us, we’re pulling out troops out. Give them three days to comply and then follow through if they don’t.
I guess I’ll get off my soapbox now and say good night.
