Hmmmmm, Who Will Win Tongiht?


I am glad that tonight is the elections. I just hope there isn't any stupid things that happen in Florida to make us wait and have to hear more. I am sure that Obama is going to win... How do I know this? Well, I just know,lol. But I think that no matter who wins, it is going to be a rough time for them. He/He or He/She will have a hard time trying to clean up the mess that Bush is leaving behind.

I was reading a message that was posted on Myspace from DJ Lex and I have to agree with what he had to say. I think that each state should have it where they are split according to what percentage of votes they get. He was stating how here in Utah thier are 5 electoral votes. If it is 60% for McCain, then McCain should get 40 % of the Electoral Votes and Obama the 40%. That makes complete sense to me... But then when does politics make alot of sense. I don't see some of the issues they think are important, as being important.

I will be watching the elections tonight and am soooooooooooo ready for someone new. I know who I want and that would be Obama. I just can't deal with 4 yrs of McCains wife. Its like she is above anyone else. I am sure that McCain would do a good job. And on that note, I think that any Republican would have a hard time this year considering how bad the last 8 yrs has been. My husband Chuck was looking at who the worse President in History was, and all of them stated that Bush was by over 70 %. Wow, thats a lot of people who don't agree with Bush... But what can I say, his reign is almost over and we are onto something new. I am ready for that.

With living in Utah and it being a Republican state, I have heard alot of people who claim they are voting the moral choice, and yet they live immoral. I don't see how they think McCain is the moral choice. Now granted Palin is Christian, but should that be the deciding factor is someones capabilities? I think not, but then again, who am I to say... So I am going to close on this for today and I am sure that I will write more on this either tonight or tommorrow.

I do hope that everyone gets out to vote... Even if it isn't for the one I want, vote... This election is going to make history no matter who wins...

Sign Stealing-Killing Bears- Give Me A Break

What in the world are people thinking. In this election people are going nuts. I am all for a good debate. But when it comes to stealing other peoples property, shooting bears and hanging signs around the next that belongs to the Obama team. It isn't just Obama, but McCain as well. That is just sick and wrong.

I can't wait for this election to get over. I live in a primarily Republican State. I am what I would consider more of an Independent but voting Democrat. I don't vote for the party. I vote for the person. This year has gone completely nuts. Tonight when I heard about the bear cub being shot in North Carolina. That is horrible that someone would do such a thing. What did that little cub do to anyone. I wonder if it was more racists geared then anything.

Everyone has their own reason for voting for the person they are voting for. I don't think someone should go and intimidate or belittle someone because they don't vote the way the majority does. This is a free country, we from what the constitution says have rights. Even though there are times I really wonder what we have or don't have. I think they lead us to believe we have more rights and choices, and then we get a rude wake up call. But we aren't a third world country. We are America for heavens sake.

In our local news, we have had many things about people stealing signs, writing horrible things on them and being extremely racist. I am sure this happens all over. What gets me, this is a very religious area that claims to follow Jesus... I don't think I would see Jesus out there doing the kind of garbage some of these idiots are doing.

I say, vote for who you feel is right and who you think would lead this country into the right direction. Don't let someone bully you or push you. This is ridiculous and low.

Church and Politics


Hmmmm, this is one of my biggest pet peeves at church. I love my church... BUT it drives me nuts when people think that politics should be part of things. Why is that? I have yet to figure that out. Are they trying to make thier own statement of what? Our pastor doesn't do that. Which I am very grateful about. I feel it is very important to get involved in the issues and to vote for the person that best represents your thoughts and such. Alot of times when I vote I don't really pay attention to the party but the person. Although this year things are gonna be a bit different. I think I will have to really pay attention, considering all.

But back to church. I beleive that if people have a preference or something like that, they should either discuss it amonst themselves or in small groups or something outside of the church. Not during sermons. I can turn the TV on and get more then my feel of politics, I don't need to go to church to hear about it there. I am there to hear about a much higher power then the upcoming soon to be president.

Ok, now I am getting off my soapbox for the moment and going to tell everyone to have a great day...
