Let Me Explain My Own Personal Political Views. ;o)

First of all, I have to state that I am neither a Democrat or a Republican. I AM, however, a conservative. Now, what this generally means is that I would more often than not identify with Republicans. It does NOT mean that I would never vote Democrat. I can absolutely see myself voting for the "Right" Democrat.

Here's the problem though . . . .In nearly the past two decades the Democrats have started leaning more and more to the left, some to the point of becoming super radical . . . .on the other hand there have been Republicans who have started leaning more and more to the right, some of which have also taken it to the point of being radical. So when you have two main parties who are leaning further and further apart, the parties do a lot of arguing and Nothing for the Country. Pretty soon it leaks out onto the people of the country, who are sick and tired of a government that is in gridlock and can't or won't get anything done for the people, and we end up with a country divided.

Soooooo . . . .What's a voter to do? USE YOUR VOTE TO CLEAN HOUSE!! Get rid of every politician who has Never Even Tried to compromise and work across party lines! . . . Republicans & Democrats!! Get rid of every politician who has a Huge record of ear-mark wasteful spending! Vote for new Government Leaders and let them be put on notice that their term will be short indeed if they can't do their jobs for the people who put them in office!

In this presidential election, it has been fairly clear that I would not be able to vote Democrat. Barack Obama has a record of being one of the most far left liberals in the Senate. He has requested nearly $1,000,000.00 per day in ear-marks, (hidden request for money buried within legislation). He wants to create social government programs that will provide health care to everyone, send everyone to college, and he wants to raise taxes on those that he calls wealthy and give a tax break to 95% of Americans.

Now first of all, I absolutely hate the idea of ear-marks, (pork barrel spending), If it is a worthy cause, then why bury it within unrelated legislation? Throw it out on the table and let everyone know what you are doing.

Big social government programs to provide health care and higher education Really do sound GREAT . . . .but who in the world do you think is going to pay for these government programs. Trust me . . . .SOMEONE is . . . .It's not just free money falling from the sky! YEP . . .That's right . . .WE are going to pay for it . . . . if not in higher payroll taxes then by higher gas taxes and the like and we will probably pay for it with lower quality health care!! All because the Government just had to get involved!

I totally disagree with raising the taxes on the wealthy and lowering everyone else's taxes. I am by no means rich by any one's definition, but it's just NOT right to punish someone for being a success in this country and have them turn over 25%-39% of their income to the IRS. Plus within the definition of wealthy are small businesses. Now what do you think higher taxes on small businesses is going to do to our economy? That's right . . .people will have to take pay cuts . . . .people will get fired or laid off . . . .small businesses will go under . . . .Our Economy will go down the drain because Small Business is the lifeblood of this country.

Barack Obama is all about BIG GOVERNMENT . . . ."Just tell us your problems and we'll start a BIG government program, (paid for by the tax payers), and we'll fix it for ya!"

That is NOT what The United States of America is all about. We are the Land of the FREE, The Home of the BRAVE and the Land of OPPORTUNITIES . . . . .NOT Government Program Handouts! Anyone in this Great Nation can make a Wonderful life for themselves with just a little effort. Sure, sometimes things happen and you need a helping hand up . . .and the USA is a very Generous Country that will most certainly lend a hand . . . .but that should always be the exception not the rule.

I believe in SMALL GOVERNMENT! Let us work and earn our weeks pay! Keep our taxes fair so that we will be allowed to make our own decisions on how to spend our hard earned dollars. It has been proven over and over that the American People are much better at spending their money than the Government is. So let us keep more of it. . . . Then we can choose our own health care plans and make our own plans for higher education. And the taxes that we do send to the Government . . . .Demand that they STOP the wasteful spending and start using our tax dollars wisely!

Our politicians have to stop thinking about their party and start thinking about doing the work of the people!! This means EVERYONE . . .Move a little bit closer to the center . . . . stop the arguing . . . . . be prepared to compromise, then DO SO . . . .And get on with the work that the PEOPLE HIRED YOU TO DO!!

John McCain is the Presidential Candidate with the Most Experience, Foreign & otherwise.

Sarah Palin is the Only Candidate who has Executive Experience as the Governor of Alaska.

John McCain is the only candidate in this election who has often reached across party lines to get things done for the people. Trust me . . .I know . . .one of his compromises almost caused him to loose my vote!

John McCain has NEVER had a record of ear-mark wasteful government spending. As a matter of fact he Has fought to stop all wasteful Government Spending and will continue to do so.

John McCain wants to make our tax-breaks permanent so that WE can CHOOSE where our money will serve us best, whether it be saving for education, saving for retirement, investing, buying a new car or buying groceries!

John McCain wants to give taxpayers who need it a credit so that they can CHOOSE their own health care insurance and keep the Government out of our business!

John McCain wants us ALL to be able to make our OWN CHOICES and NOT have the GOVERNMENT make choices FOR US! What a scary thought it is to have the Government make many of our important personal decisions for us! YIKES . . . .That's Not the USA! For goodness sake . . . .that's what makes us a FREE Nation is the fact that we are able to make OUR OWN CHOICES!!

Obama is Too Inexperienced and Far Too Liberal to be President. Maybe in several years after he gets more experience and is willing to move more toward the center where compromise lives, maybe then he will be ready.

Soooooooo . . . . .

All of MY Family & Friends & of course ME are

VOTING FOR McCAIN!!!!!

And I hope you are too . . . .but if not . . .it's all Great! That's what makes the United States of America the Greatest Nation in the World! We can disagree and still be connected as AMERICANS and Friends.

VOTE . . . .VOTE . . . .VOTE!!!!

Whoever your candidate is . . . . .It is your duty as an American to cast your VOTE. As my husband has told me many times . . . ."If you don't exercise your Right To Vote . . . .then you have No Right to complain later, because you Had Your Chance to make a difference and didn't use it!!"

So Use It!!!

VOTE . . . .VOTE . . . .VOTE!!!!
