Politics

Its funny because i remember the first time I was on my way to meet Rob's family(whom i love as my own now) warned me to never bring up religion or politics. Isn't it funny how passionate people become about beliefs, whether it be politics, religion, lifestyles, whatever... I love that about the mixing pot of a family that i am in. I love how different each member of our family is and how much i learn from all of them. My dear husband is a devout conservative, and when the Republican Party is properly represented he is a true republican. I wouldn't say i am only a republican or democrat, but judge on what a politician's goals or objectives are. Rob's cousin Meg sent me this message, and I couldn't agree more.
I, like most Conservatives, have been HUGELY disgusted & disappointed by the lack of action by Republicans. The Republican party has been hijacked by a bunch of pansies trying to hopelessly pander to a media & liberals that do not & will not ever share conservative values. Rather than actually getting off their lazy political butts & putting into practice what they probably promised their constituents, they continued with status quo & did what they could to "get by", make their 10 sec. sound bites at all of these USELESS congressional inquiries & "investigations" (OH PLEASE!) & to hopefully get reelected to this sick country club, rather than being true representatives of the people. The democrats on the flip side are also showing themselves to be a colossal failure running the senate & house of reps. They have increased all of these STUPID "investigations" & both sides are a bunch of "windbags". I really am quite sick of all of Washington, Sarah Palin is someone that I have been pushing for, for the last several months. She is a breath of fresh air because she has strong convictions & is an actual Conservative, not a Republican. Now don't get me wrong, I am proud to be a Republican, but I do not feel that the Republican party politicians have properly represented what we are & want to be. I DISPISE corruption & LOVE that she was willing to take it on, REGARDLESS of what party it is. John McCain in the same light, while I don't always see eye to eye with him on all policies, I KNOW that he will always & has ALWAYS done what he believes to be right for the country, regardless of what is popular. That is a leader I can follow. The Change I refer to is the OPERATION of Washington & I believe that the two of them will work tirelessly to get Washington working FOR the people.

I am not completely sold on McCain. Am I grateful for the trials he went through for this country..you bet. But Palin seems like a breath of fresh air for the republican party. I know I will probably hear it for posting this, but sometimes its easier to think while writing. So thank you Jamie and Meg for giving me some serious food for thought.
