Politics Again?

First of all, let me start by saying that I really am very uncomfortable with discussing politics. I have my personal opinions and I don't expect them to be anyone else's opinion and we all have the freedom to think what we like. Okay, having said that, I really need to say this.

For those of you who may not realize it, the election is over. Okay? OVER. Whoever you voted for at this point is irrelevant. The deed is done, the die is cast and so on. And yet people are still yapping about it like there is something left to be done, like forgetting to turn the stove off.

One of the things that I have been seeing lately that is really igging me (igging is not a real word I know, but it's one of mine:)) is this all out Republican attack on Sarah Palin. You can't blame her for McCain's loss. Sure, there were a lot of people who didn't agree with her personal politics. Sure, there were a lot of vegetarians who were simply abhorred at the fact that she would shoot a moose. Sure, there were a lot of redneck men jealous that she could shoot a moose. (That's not women's work ya know!) And there are even more people who didn't like her for whatever reason, from her politics to the style of her eyeglasses. I really do not think that is why they didn't vote for McCain.

See, when I vote, I like to think of myself as voting FOR someone, not necessarily AGAINST someone. I vote for the person I would like to see in office, not against someone I don't want to see there. See? It's all in how you look at it. And I don't think that Palin wielded that kind of influence over millions of votes. Just get off her back and let it go already. Scapegoating never looks good on anyone.

And this whole is Obama a real citizen issue. I don't know and at this point I don't care. *GASP* "Why!?!" you may ask. Well, I'll tell you why. All of this garbage about the man's citizenship should have been resolved before he was ever allowed to run. And yes, I say "allowed" because there are rules one must follow to participate in the privilege of running for President. If he was not following those rules, if he didn't fit the criteria, before he started running, something should have been done about it then. It's a little too late now. It's kind of like being in labor and deciding to put the baby back. Ummmmm.....you can't do that. And in trying, it looks rather sad and desperate. The man did win, some say fair and square, others say not. But the upshot is, that he will be taking office in January. And since he will be our leader, I will give him just as much respect and courtesy as I have our previous leaders:)

Exactly.

So, can't we all just get along?

Just my opinion.

Peace alllllllllllllllllll.......................
