I'm still convented that in the end Texas will be in play one way or another.
It's my gut feeling that the polls are not reporting the youth vote and kids like my son is feed up with the republican and want real change... change that only Obama can provide...
On other isses...
Time magazine is about to release a study this week I think, of why people vote and how they vote. The finding that shocked me the most was the one where 29% of Americans vote for a candidate who's positions are counter to the best interest of the voter themselves and the individual voters doesn't realize that he or she is voting against there best interest!
In other words, it possible to be voting for a party out of habit, who positions on issues have changed over time and are no longer in line with what is best for the individual voter at this point in time!
Thus 40 something voters vs 60 something voter has very different needs.
I see this election boiling down to a few question and a single issue... the state of the nation's economy!
Question... the question about one's income?
If your reading this post and makes more than $250,000.00, then please by all means vote republican but if you make less than $250,000.00, as I trust most do, then to vote republican is to vote against your best interest!
Fact: Obama plans to remove all seniors from the federal tax rolls... in other words no increase in your federal taxes, no federal taxes at all!
Question... healthcare?
Fact: Obama's plans for healthcare will not effect seniors and their healthcare where your covered is provided by a private plans, a company plans, medicare and/or medicaid or a combination of all four. In fact, because he plans to instill the congressional healthcare program as the national standard, medicare should improve while the lesser medicaid program should most likely go away in favor or medicare..
In closing, do take a moment and reflect on the following then ask yourself if there is truth in this, then think about before heading off to vote this year...
If your child or love one finds themselves failing at something and not willing to except responsibility... you don't reward them do you?
If your co-worker, employee or friend finds themselves failing at something and not willing to except responsibility... you don't reward them do you?
Then ask yourself...
"Why should the American people reward the republican party and their enablers for their failures of the recent past and for the countless lies and half-trues, the party, their enablers, and there candidates have been spurring of late, not to mention the hate mongering and bigotry, that we all can look forward to in the coming weeks?"
I trust some if not all will enjoy this little bit of reflection.
As a progressive, we do welcome all who are feed up with recent events, wants real change and would like to focus on the nation's many needs over the needs of the rest of the world for a change!
Have a good one... Just a through or two
