Election

GO VOTE! You can vote early in some places, you can send away for a mail in ballot, and you can go vote in your local poll place on November 4th. I think it is very important to let your voice be heard this election. No matter how you feel about Republicans, Democrats, independants or whatever else is out there---you need to vote. I am guilty of not voting the last 2 elections, the last time I voted Clinton was elected. Aside from his bad personal behavior and clear marital problems while in the White house, he was a good president. He left us with a fiscal abundance (not the correct word, but I can't think of the right word) and he had good relationships with foreign leaders. Bush Jr...well, he isn't what many had hoped for. He isn't a younger version of his father. He wasn't a good president and he let a lot of things slide and become out of control. Anyway, Politically I find myself to be pretty liberal. I think woman have the right to choose what happens to their bodies, and I believe that no government should stick their noses in our private business. I think that this Country should have a clear division of church and state, so why is Prop 8 even on the ballot. I see commercials on lately that are humorous at best, but I don't think they are supposed to be funny. People actually getting on TV saying they are afraid their children will learn it is alright for a man to marry a man. Well, here in the state of California, we already have a law that says we can choose to have our children taken out of class during "family Life" or health instruction that we don't approve of. We even have to have our curriculum set up at the district for all parents to see and approve before new books are bought for classes. And so what, if little John learns in school that little Suzi can marry Jenny if she wants. Being Gay isn't bad, nor is it something you can catch like a cold or learn. You don't learn to be Gay. Also, so what if they learn about other lifestyles in school---people who are Gay haven't learned to be heterosexual by just being around them or learning about heterosexual lifestyles in family life class. I don't see what the big deal is in all of this. Being Gay is just another way people love. I hope Obama/Biden win, just because I fear that McCain and Palin is just more of the same. Oh, and I think Palin is a scary person to have in office. I am sure she is an okay person...a soccor mom, a real Joe six pack kinda gal. Just what happens when a 72 year old president happens to die in office and we all live in a Country with President Palin...Palin and Ahmadinajahed (Iran guy) would do really well together since they both oppose anything Gay. Oh, wait---am I being too harsh? Palin did say during her debate with Biden that while she doesn't believe in redefining Marriage, she believes *they* should be able to sit in hospitals with their partners and that she is *tolerant* of Gay people. I sure am glad she can be so Tolerant. Everything isn't just about Prop 8 or being Gay or age...I often wonder what it would be like for other Countries to come here and meet with Palin as VP---not because she is a woman, I think Hillary would have made an awesome President. I wonder what it would be like when someone asked her a direct question about something (anything) and she changed the subject or skirts the answer like she has done so many times. Just go back to the Couric interviews LOL I love SNL...thank GOD for Tina Fey! I can say that at least Sarah Palin has a good sense of humor and was a good sport last week when they had her on. Okay, I guess that is enough for one day. 1 more thing...my neighbors are going to just love me. I ordered a NO on Prop 8 sign and I can't wait to put it out in my yard :)
