Who do you put YOUR HOPE IN??

YESSSSSS PLEASEEEEEEE SPARE US FROM MUDSLINGING CAMPAINS!

I did sit threw the whole speech Kerry gave lastnight, the only speech I watched from the convention.  I wish I had wrote down my thoughts as he was giving them cuz I did find my self talking at the t.v. a few times.  I will give him this, who ever worked on his makeup did a good job, he didn't look as scary as he usually does.  And I rated the speech as good, not great but good.  There was a few things that did get my goat and maybe after looking at the full speech in print I can write on it. I am glad the convention is over. I wonder if the news will give the same coverage for the Republican one? I wonder how much of the speeches are written by the people giving them?  I know they have speech writers and all that, but isn't the point of giving a speech being it is something you yourself want to say, not words put in your mouth? How much better or worse would Public Officials Speeches be if they actually wrote them themselves? LOL I do find myself kinda sad over just how divided our country is on all the issues. How can anything get done when one half of the country hates the other's views? How much can a President really do anyway? I have seen two in my adult life, from different parties, both saying they will do this or that, yet don't do even half of what they set out to do because of Congress or the Senate controlled by opposing parties. My husband would say that is a good thing, gives restriction on what a President can do, a leash if you will, that is why he voted for a republican president and a democrat senate. *eyerolling here* I don't think of myself as very political but I keep my eyes open and watch what's being said, I don't always post it here. I know you have to look beyond what the press says because often they don't give the full story or have their own slant on it. I have come to loath the commentary the anchor ppl give and how they try and interpret everything for you, like we cant think for ourselves. I think I have come to the conclusion of who I will vote for but also that really it doesn't matter too much who I want in there.  Ultimately it is up to God who he brings to power and who he brings down but here in America we have a voice in the process and my fear is God will give America just what she wants.  And then we are in for an even bigger mess but America don't complain and don't whine, you got what you asked for. Really I don't see much hope in any politician, they say they work for you and your interest, but it is true of both parties, its who has the money to donate to their campaigns they listen to or who gets their attention the most, thus lobbyist have a job.   I vote my values and my conscious and put my Hope in God.

  1. once they get up there its kind like my hubbys work . He has good intentions and trys to do the best body work and repair on cars he can. BUT the insurance companies always wnat to save a buck save a buck. Not a life as he puts it and not long term repairs as he says. So the white collar insurance adjustors come in and most people believe what they say and dont go for what the shop says needs to be done. SO here you go with substandard parts becuase the customer has listened to the insurance company. so when the politician gets up there he has rules and laws to obey and sentaors and he cant always do what he intends. then there is the part where hubby never knows for sure the tottal cost till he cna get in the car and tear it down and see what all is wrong. So he usuualy finds out that its more things needing repair then thought.  stuff hidden you cant see. Well I tell you I may think I know the budeget and how it all works but when you get up there you cant immagine what the details really are till you muddle thru al the paper work. ME My self I say scrap the whole system and tax system and go back to what it use to be. THis country use to run fine on lots less money. if we had a flat rate tax across the board think of the money that would save not all this paper work and stuff and emplyee time and no way for people to steal. Just take a flat rate out no refunds no extras not getting checks back. you pay what you make. liek a state tax. ours is 6% we dont get that back we just pay it.its gone and taken care of. I would love to see things simplified simplicity would stop mudslinging Lori
