My Vote. Whats yours?

Hey now, you can't blame disco on Jimmy Carter. He is a fan of the Allman Brothers Band and invited Willie Nelson to the White House.

  You know your right!!  I totally forgot about that. The Allman Brothers happen to be my favorite band as well. I bet ya ole Jimmy smoked a bit in his time.

We finally found something other than the Dolphins that we completely agree on.

I am a liberal, and vote Democrat.

   Why?  What is the basic beliefs that makes you a liberal?

I think that green energy can be that new thing.  And I think that we need a leader with new ideas and support to get that done.

I can agree to this.  I simply do not like being told the things he is telling.  He wants even more Gov & that stand directly in the way of what I believe.

I am so excited for the prospect of Obama.  For those of you that think he's just another politician, I see it the other way.  I see multiple crowds of 100,000 and I think that this country needs that excitement to take on new challenges.  I am glad I got to say that I voted for him.

  I do have a question.  I continue to hear Obama say that the rich people who work & want to spend their money the way they choose are simply being selfish.  How are the people sitting around not working & waiting for a check from Obama not being selfish?

I believe in increased diplomacy.
I reject the withering of rights in the name of terrorism.
I support increased regulation in industries that have the ability to single-handedly topple our economy.

I feel that openly criticizing your government is as patriotic as supporting it.

That's off the top of my head.

I wanted to come back and say I did vote after work.  No line, I waltzed right in and out. 

I congratulate President Elect Obama and hope that he can help fix our broken economy.  We all need to stand behind him, whether we voted for him or not.
