FINALLY IT ENDS - I HOPE!


Well ladies and gentlemen, the end is near; tomorrow it ends – I hope!

I am a little apprehensive about the election, you just never know. I gave Obama my vote and so did my wife.

I am not a Democrat and I am aggressively anti-socialist. I am a fiscal conservative and a social liberal and there is NO party out there that represents me. The closest one is the Libertarian Party but obviously they do not have a role in our political structure.

The republicans under Bush are not Republicans as far as standard and historic Republican ideology is concerned; I don’t know who they are now. The Democrats are predictably socialist-like but they have been all along.

I voted to return to Congress Thaddeus McCotter (Republican) even though I vowed not to because of his arrogant stand with Bush for the Iraq War. His last minute defection from the Bush camp where he stood against the “bailout” as socialism endeared him back to me plus I don’t want the Democrats to have unbridled control of Congress.

I would have voted for a Republican Senator but Carl Levin just has too much seniority and as we know, seniority gets you stuff. I hope the Senate remains even as it is now so really obnoxious Democratic bills like the “Freedom of Choice Labor Law” which is anything but, can be quietly killed off.

I notice on TV tonight that many and I mean many people are voting tonight using “absentee” ballots. It appears the lines are at least 4 hours long tonight, so I don’t know what they will be tomorrow. I think this election will hit a historic number of voters. I hope we make it way passed 50%.

I just talked to my sister who hasn’t voted in years because she was not moved – until this year – why – proposal 2 (stem cell research) – she had to vote YES and she is a very good Catholic – take that Catholic leaders; you don’t know your own members you twits!

The UNPRECEDENTED turnout, the unprecedented emotion means that Americans are up and awake and they are paying attention. I hope all this energy and interest means we have had it with our current government and we really do want a change and to me that can only mean Obama; I hope I am not reading this wrong.
