I have only once before voted other than Conservative Republican in my entire 69 years of living!!! BUT with those votes(I voted both recent elections for Obama), I feel that the "War Between the States" has started all over again! One remembers reading how brothers fought against brothers, father against sons and so forth.....Living in Texas it is a "burden to bear" NOT voting Republican!! I haven't talked to or heard from my former "Best Friend" in over a year! He is not the only one, who, I'm sure, think I've lost my mind!! What is interesting is that both times I bolted from my party and its candidates.....it was a vote AGAINST the Republican candidate and not a vote FOR the Democrat. I can't say that my recent votes for either Bush or Obama in the last sixteen years led to "Happy Outcomes"!! Pretty much just the opposite.....I guess even though one makes fairly good choices in life, not all the outcomes following are perfect. In Bush, one finds a President who has no problem making decisions, but who sometimes has no follow through long term plan of action; and in Obama, one finds great rhetoric, but a lack of timely decision-making ability....both men's decisions leading to a disastrous result, in my opinion.
The Point I am slowly getting to though, is NOT which party is RIGHT or WRONG, or whether the decision making or lack thereof is going to kill us somewhere down the line; but the LOSS of FRIENDSHIP and FAMILY is way more important than any political gains or losses that tend to repeat themselves over and over again throughout time eternal! AND I haven't even started on CONGRESS YET!!!
John T. political conservative most of the time....chuckle.....
