What is a man or woman to do? Both major candidates have both good and bad points! Both are hypocrites on some issues, and both are strident believers and correct on other issues. I agree with neither on all things, and on some things with both. Call me a centrist if you must, but I am registered to vote, vote every election, am a patriot, and a realist as far as the day to day life of most middleclass and lowerclass americans are concerned (IMHO).I work in state government, and i see the worst of society, and try to live the best of it. Most people either vote their pocketbook or their conscience. What has disturbed me the most in this presidential election is the vitriol and continued hatefest. We are seeing physical attacks now on volunteers and election offices and party headquarters. Even though I am registered in one party, I will probably vote the other this election, and I will have misgivings, as I will be voting my conscience. But as I do in my everyday life, I have no patience with those who abuse, harass and verbally assault others and then pretend they are the victimized. I can smell a lie like a two day old dead fish, it’s what I’ve done professinally for 15 years. I may have been “programed” by one party’s candidate, but if so, it was made easier by the others party’s actions and words. That my friends is a reminder to act like a decent human being and be respectfull of others and ME if you want my vote. You have no one to blame but yourself and your party’s mouthpieces if you don’t get it this year.
I support…in no order…
nature and wildlife,
equal rights for everyone,but no extras because of any real or imagined gripe you have,
pro life personally, but none of my business in your case,(figure that one out!)
the ability to defend myself and family,
personal responsibility,
a helpin hand up for those who need it and don’t abuse it,(i see welfare and disability abuse every DAY!)
gays in the military- but b***jobs in the barracks get you kicked out whether its straight or homosexual,
close the dang borders!
a good and reasonable national defense, and an end to waste in the military/defense establishment (it can be done!)
Friends and neighbors, both in the hood and across borders, meaning we’ll be as good to you as you are to us. Not necessarily joining us in a war, but what the heck is with GIVING away BILLIONS of dollars to countries who literally express hate and desire to destroy us!.. That is money that can be used here at home to help those who need and want help…and BOTH PARTIES DO IT!!!
Oh well, i’ll pull my levers and shut up now…
