Polyticks

I am not into politics. (Gasp!) I know this came as quite a shock. I am sure that I am probably the worst citizen ever. I don't even watch the news (double Gasp!)
I don't like the fighting and ugliness that happens when seemingly normal people start a conversation over "issues". And they are always current or pressing. I want a brownie. That is current and pressing for me right now.

In light of the whole "lets all hate Rush Limbaugh" thing thats happening I felt the need to visit my most hated topic. Just for a minute though and then I am out.

I don't like Republicans. I do not relate to people in suits with hair that doesn't move that look like they should be reporting the news. I don't like the name calling, pretension and self righteousness I see from the right. That being said, I do agree with a lot of their views on these current and pressing issues. BUT, there is a lot to be said for delivery.

I don't like Democrats. I do not relate to people who are against most things I am for or vice versa. I do not want to be a socialist or hippie and if either of those descriptions is offensive well..... you know I don't watch the news. I don't want to legalize weed. I don't want to pay for welfare. I have a whole different take on all that stuff.

If there is an in between than I am probably it. I am by no means Liberal either. I may be conservative, but not the denim skirt, Crystal Gail hair conservative. I also think there are a lot of people like me who don't want to claim a party because they are all so.......wrong. I want to see people voting because they believe in the person they cast that precious vote for. Most of the time it just feels like the better of two or three evils.

America is cocky......and fat. We aren't the heroes we think we are and if you'd ever been anywhere outside your hometown you would know as much. I am a veteran. So no, I am not military hating, but if you ask most of the people who are active right now they would tell you they are not living the life they want to. The economy is in the crapper so why would they get out? Living paycheck to paycheck is better than being unemployed.

I guess I just want someone who can speak for me and right now there isn't anyone one out there that does. What about you? Is there anyone in Washington who remembers what its like to have medical bills, mortgages, and no money left over? If I wasn't so busy cooking, cleaning and homeschooling maybe I would run. I guess then I'd have to start watching the news.....deal breaker.
