Elections...

are almost upon us. The impending big day has been greeted with much speculation about how bad the Democrats will end up- not "will they", notice, no. They're going to do bad. It's just a question of how bad.

You know, it's rather frustrating. We had an election two years ago. Things aren't going to magically change/get better/even get worse in 2 years. We could, oh I don't know, stick with one side for awhile just to see how it'll end up before we automatically switch...and end up getting the same thing as we had before.

Rather closer to home for me, Texas is having the time of it's life. Rick Perry is probably going to win (again), have another term in office (again). Yay! I'm so 'cited. His most prominent opponent, Bill White, wouldn't be any better. But, of course, those are the only two people focus on. And whine about. The mantra is "Oh we don't have choices, so we'll just vote party."

Because, after all, voting with da partay has fixed our problems so effectively in the past. That's why America's in a drawn-out recession. Yeah.

The problem is, my dear fellow Texans, that you do have choices. So they're not great choices. Kathie Glass may have gotten the Libertarian nomination for governor, but that doesn't make her an ideal libertarian. (I'll leave you to go do the research on that one...) And the only other one is some Green Party candidate named...Deb Shafto, I think.

Not amazingly wonderful choices. But anything's better than the Perry/White choice at this moment...

I know, I hate it when people say that Obama hasn't been dong anything and that's he's been lying. It's like, people, trying to fix this messed up country isn't as easy as it looks. There are so many problems that need to be fixed, and 2 years just isn't a long enough time period, so don't even say anything yet. I can't believe elections will be in 2 years. We shall see how that goes.

The People have been speaking out for over a year and many will cast their votes against the liberal, big government, control every aspect of our lives agenda tomorrow. The Dems have overreached, big time. They gave President Obama a chance to be a moderate and he has proven to be a far leftist idealogue who picked some very extreme persons as czars and has extreme views on some issues. And, now some of the people who voted for him, just to give him a chance, didn't realize exactly who they were voting for and now they are having buyers remorse. Returning to the principles of our Founding Fathers and the Constitution is the answer. You are correct, the Dems are going to lose but the question is how badly are they going to lose tomorrow?
