A Voice To Monitor

I have been having some at times lively discussions with both Democrats and Republicans and have been trying to monitor those voices who I think might have viable ideas for change. Most of the people I have heard just spout off that they want change, but cannot come up with any type of solution. I will be monitoring the thoughts of Chuck Lasker as I too try to find ways to give America back to the people.

I suppose you could say that I too am just "spouting off" that I want change, but I want to also learn how to become an active, educated participant in the process.

Understanding The Undecided

It's always like walking through a mine field when discussing politics in social settings. I have really been wanting to understand what an undecided voter is thinking, so I tread carefully in recent conversations to try and gain a little insight. The group I spoke with were older than I am, so they also had my due respect. It seemed to be a consensus that it wasn't that one candidate was worse than the other, they just didn't like either choice. They told me that they would just rather not vote because they didn't want to be part of choosing.

In theory, I agree with them. I do not like either candidate but I don't want to waste my vote or not vote. But I also know the problems are not just with the presidential candidates, but are also with the congressional candidates - the career politicians who have lost sight as to what government service is supposed to mean.

I can empathize with the undecideds, it tough. I think I'm just going to vote a straight party ticket, pray and try to work like hell to wake people up so we can start getting REAL change in place during the next four years.

One place we need to reclaim is the education of our children and the education of all Americans - you think Jay Leno's "Jay Walking" is just entertainment? Read John Stossel's - A Duty Not To Vote.

Biden Angered By Tough Questions

Enter the "damage control" - worst one I heard was this reporter was spoon fed her questions. Good grief! What have I been saying and before she asked these questions? These are answers that ALL Americans need to hear before it's too late.


Since YouTube pulled the video I linked to, here's the FoxNews version (and yes YouTube was in it right to pull it) Here a link to WFTV's copyrighted version:

I Don't Want To Waste A Vote

I find that I'm not happy with either choice of Presidential candidate this election. Everyone wants change, so do I, but I don't want to live in a socialist country. If I wanted to live in a socialist country, I'd move to France. I believe that people who are voting for Obama are enamored with his pretty face and pretty talk. Obama scares me because no one is listening to what he is saying or has said. I'm not real thrilled with McCain either, I do like Sarah Palin and I think she really could shake up the good ole boy network.

Everyday I watch our personal freedoms get torn away from us. Our education system is in the toilet because the government has it's hands all over it. Our interstates are awful, where is all that tax money I am paying going? I enjoy listening to talk radio, the station I listen to is open about their Christian values. I fear they will be taken off the air. I used to enjoy CNN, I started watching it when it first came on the air, but their political bias got as bad as the big three networks. BUT, I defend their right to their free speech and dont want that taken away from them.

I have been accused of not caring about the less fortunate or those who are down on their luck. How dare you? You have not walked in my shoes, you don't know where I have come from to get here. I have been one of those "less fortunate" and through hard work and tenacity I have carved out a very tiny portion of the "American Dream". I don't have the whole pie, just a small piece of it, but I worked hard for it. Now I stand here and wonder why the bailouts? I suppose I could ask, where is my bailout?

So where does this leave me when it comes time to cast my ballot? If I vote for a third party candidate, it's almost like a vote for Obama or a wasted vote. I hate the term, lesser of two evils but that's where I'm at. I don't think the Libertarian Party has enough steam yet. Perhaps during the next four years Americans who still believe in the American Dream, the Constitution, Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness will wake up, rise up and take this country.

The beauty of the electronic media, I'll have archives of my thoughts. So in the years to come, let's look back and see how far off the mark I am.
