One political issue that I have been battling concerns the
Republican fiscal philosophy (conservative) that I agree with, on the one hand
and their social issues extremism on the other.
Many who voted for Republicans to straighten out the
financial mess that many states found themselves in are now starting to regret
their votes seeing how those Republicans are now showing their true colors by
pushing conservative social issues that they were no elected to pursue.
Joe Klein in his article AN ELECTION OF LESSER EVILS in the
July issue of TIME Magazine points this out as he travels in the Midwest asking voters what they think.
In Michigan, I voted for Rick Snyder, the Republican
candidate for governor because I felt he was the man to get the state back into
financial shape and I think so far, I have not been disappointed; I think he is
GREAT!
The problem is that Snyder’s Republican victory also brought
in other Republicans hanging on to his coat-tails but unlike Snyder himself who
does not have any social issue agenda, the other Republicans do and it is
starting to show.
These Republicans are no pushing anti-abortion legislation,
attacking University
of Michigan
I like Snyder as a businessman doing what needs to be done
which is similar to who Romney is, a businessman, that knows how to get things
done BUT they are still Republicans and it appears that they will ALLOW their
party to take this nation backwards into the dark ages of social policy and I
am not sure that I can let that happen.
I object to a lot that Obama does on the economic front and
I have spoken up about my issues with his policies BUT I am sure I do not want
to give Republicans the power to take away our freedoms just because they have
a screwed up religious ideology where they think they are right and we all
better bend to their way of thinking…hell no!
And as Joe Klein points out this may be an election of
LESSER EVILS and who would do the least damage to this country and as I ponder
this today, I would rather Obama get another four years than let the Republican
hordes have their way with my freedoms.
