On Politics

I’ll be so glad when this election is over. I hate politics. Regardless of who wins, it’ll be a relief to have it come to an end. In my opinion, no matter who wins, I believe we’ll be short changed, although I lean toward the more conservative side.

I understand that my focus should be on McCain & Obama and it is, but Sara Palin has slammed into this political arena like nothing I’ve ever seen before. She has demonstrated great strength & grace. Her values are those that I myself hold dear. If I were a betting woman, I’d bet there are more of us out there than anyone would imagine. We are not all “women’s libbers” and she has shown that you don’t have to be to achieve the goals you set your mind to.

Anyway, I like her. I like McCain. Heck, I even like some of what Obama says. It’s confusing to say the least and how many presidents have actually done what they promise to do when they’re campaigning. Change needs to happen, not just with the president, but all over.

We are living in scary times. I wonder what it will be like 50 years from now.
