Election Obsession

I don't know about all of you but I have a disease called ELECTION OBSESSION. I am going to need a twelve step program to get over this addiction...I cannot STOP! I have never been so into an election as this one coming in November- nor have I ever been so scared....I think I was going through divorce woes during the 2000 election and didn't pay attention...although I do know "W" did steal that one.

The latest to make me spit fire is this Sarah Palin VP selection by MCCain. I still cannot wrap my brain around this one. Is John on crack? He must be because that is the only thing that can explain this selection for veep. What's really scary is this woman is a "stroke out" away from the White House if (gawd-forbid) MCCain gets elected (it hurts to even type it). If you have not had a chance to read the NYT article on Palin this is a good one (among many others) www.nytimes.com/2008/09/03/us/politics/03wasilla.html in addition to Anne Kilkenny's letter to the public about Sarah Palin is very interesting http://www.thenation.com/blogs/campaignmatters/354444/the_word_from_wasilla
PEOPLE this is a serious election year - read everything and believe 10% and go by your gut...even then the info out there on John & Sarah will make you head for the hills. Look at the Republicans history in the White House verses the Democrats the economy has never been worse when the repugs are ruling the roost along with our foreign relations being in the toilet....but big oil seems to always profit along with other large companies (i.e.pharmaceutical and companies with government war contracts)...hhmmm makes you wonder?

The USA is in the toilet folks and before we get flushed into oblivion we need to elect a president that is at least going to get us back to the rim. It's going to take time believe me this is one nasty task for the next president to take on - but we can't keep doing it the same way BECAUSE it obviously does not work! We NEED CHANGE and we need it yesterday... Barack & Biden PLEASE save us before we all drown.
