I am voting Democrat because I feel that a president who is ashamed of his country, ashamed to wear an American flag pin, who will not say the pledge of allegiance to the flag and who has never had a real job and yet lives in a 1.6 million dollar mansion... Has the best interest of the nation and my family as his primary objective.
I am voting Democrat because I want Speaker of the house, like Nancy Pelosi to save the planet, while destroying the United States of America.
I am voting Democrat because I want more real patriots like Harry Reid to be in positions of leadership.
I am voting Democrat because I want to pay higher taxes to fund giveaway pork barrel programs that have no benefit to me or the country, but make crooked politicians rich.
I am voting Democrat because I want to bring oil from countries that support terrorist organizations that want to destroy America. Why drill for domestic oil when we can just buy it from them for $150 per barrel?
MAKES YOU EVEN WONDER WHY ANYONE WOULD EVER VOTE FOR A REPUBLICAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From a friend's cousin who lives in Alaska ********************************************************
Well now I'm getting emails from several of you with enthusiasm and curiosity and even doubts about our wonderful - awesome governor who is now running for vice president. First of all I need to tell you HOW Richard and I found out about the announcement this morning. Vicki called VERY early and asked if we knew! (thank you Vicki) We didn't even have the TV on yet. I was shocked (and exited)!! Governor Palin hadn't even told her parents. She and her family flew to Ohio last night, closed-lipped about this whole situation. They found out when they turned on their TV this morning. She obviously didn't want any of the news to leak out until it "went national" this morning. She DOES have a close knit family (even with her parents) but they have learned to respect her choices of how she handles her family life and government issues. Anyway; Alaska has been "turned upside down" with this news.
We are VERY excited; because we know her track record and what she is capable of. You will all find out next week when the convention starts and what Sarah Palin has to say. She would EVEN be a GREAT president. Richard has been saying for weeks "McCain would choose Sarah Palin. I didn't agree with him. I felt no one knew her, and didn't figure she would even be considered. I was just happy to have her as our a governor!
Ok! You want to know a little bit about her:
Whn she became governor, she released the cooks and hired help in the governor's mansion in Juneau. She told them she does her own cooking (and also has two teenage daughters who cook) plus she cleans and shops for groceries. She also does NOT have a "driver". She drives herself everywhere. She sold the governor's private lear jet and put that money back into the state. She felt her husband made the right decision to keep his blue collar job in Prudoe Bay; after she became governor. It was his decision, and she supported him. She didn't take her kids out of the school they attend in Wasilla (their home town which is 30 miles north of Anchorage) and didn't sell their home there either.
She is very active in her children's school activities, her husband's snowmobile races, loves to fish, is pro life, and pro guns. She was given a baby shower (huge) and gave everything (money and gift cards included) to babies in need and charities. Shes a runner, hikes, ride snowmobiles, fishes, hunts, changes diapers, breast feeds her baby, and still runs the government up here with an clad iron fist. (proved that - getting back to work 2 days after her baby was born last April - taking the baby with her - and not hiring a nanny to take care of the baby).
She is a tough cookie. Staunch in her beliefs and challenges. She is also very competitive. Which has helped her advance in her political career. She is extremely intelligent and very well read. She has been in the middle of blowing "corruption in our government and oil companies" wide open; up here. Several people are now serving time in prison in the lower 48; as a result. That's just a start with the stories of our beloved Sarah Palin. If it happens that we lose her to the vice presidency, we will miss her tremendously and will keep our fingers crossed that whoever takes her place as governor; will carry on business up here, half as well as she has!
As a world traveler & fellow Texan, you have NO IDEA how ashamed I am of our current president & his father before him...
In a couple of places we visited, it was much safer to admit to being Canadian... (go ahead - crucify me for not being a patriot; just do it AFTER you've had the same experiences)
I'm worried we're on the edge of a complete cultural meltdown here in America. The Joe Lunchbuckets of our society seem to be far more concerned with what Paris & Britney are doing than the fact that we need to pull the plug on the $700 Billion we're sending the Saudis every year to finance their terrorist attacks upon us.
I have no debt. I could care less about material things. I would have no hesitation in signing a prenup. I would WANT my partner to feel secure about his future planning.
For the right man, I would make any sacrifice! I've had that kind of love before. We were separated by death. I hope to find it twice in a lifetime...
What's nice is when people compliment you on the nice manners, maturity, consideration,etc., that your children display when you aren't around... Makes it all worthwhile, don't you agree?
It's great to know we aren't unleashing another generation of "little monsters" on society.
I'm sure that, as an involved parent, you know what I'm talking about.
Forgot to say -- my son's 11th birthday present was a 12 ga. shotgun. At age 13 for Christmas, he received a .22 rifle, bolt action, with a 15-shot clip. He was trained by me in proper safety & use of both.
Just catching up on this thread... I was born & bred in Texas. In 1999, upon seeing how ineffective weapons control methods (metal detectors, police officers, see-thru backpacks, etc.) were in public schools in Amarillo when my son was in 6th grade, I pulled him out & began homeschooling. Many other parents did the same. We formed a homeschool coalition in order that working parents could participate as well.
I am not rich, but homeschooling allowed my son & I freedom to travel the world in order to enrich him culturally as well as academically. This past June, at age 17, he has received his High School Equivalency Degree with the highest ever recorded score at the trade school he attends (Job Corps). He is the youngest employee in the office where he works for a satellite TV company as salesperson (all the rest are in their late 20s, 30s & 40s).
Homeschooling is not an opportunity available to many families; however, it can make a huge difference. Altho we traveled in some 3rd world countries (yes, some communist) and saw some pretty hairy things, I never worried about his safety like I did when he was in public school. Travel & exposure to other cultures has made all the difference in his level of maturity & understanding of the world in which we live.
It is deplorable that our educational systems have sunk to this level; yet it is a worldwide problem. If I had no choice but public schools to educate my son today, I would feel much more comfortable knowing that among those present were highly-trained & armed professionals who had a vested interest in their own safety that of their students.
There are no easy answers - but the girl with the dreadlocks is out of her gourd, IMHO.
WEST ALABAMA & EAST GEORGIA LADIES - Need a companion for my Australian friend who is visiting the States for the 1st time... We're in Carrollton, Georgia. He wants to tour Georgia & Alabama. He has cash & rental car (can drive here) & is ready to go,but I'm dating someone & also don't have the energy to keep up with this phenomenal guy! You can check out Tim's short & sloppy profile as "ttr" at Plenty of Fish if you like - he's much cuter in person!
HELP! PLEASE EMAIL ME ASAP! We need a lady to accompany him to Savannah & the Beach, Northern GA mountains, down to cotton country & over to Alabama & back up through West Alabama -- all in about 4 or 6 days... He's not the "touristy" sort - would prefer to see only the smaller towns & stay out of the cities. But wants to soak up Southern culture - chicken fried steak, catfish, Cajun food -- he's only ever heard of grits... Needs a friend to enjoy with.
Holler up if you're available. Phone & other details provided after Email.
I have an Australian friend visiting me from Western Australia until January 4. He wants to tour Georgia, preferably in the company of a Southern lady, and enjoy the tastes of the South. He's got the cash & rental car, but no lady for company.
HURRY GIRLS! PLEASE EMAIL ASAP! He also wants to see some of Alabama. He can drive & will wine & dine you -- he just needs to know where to go & what to see! I'm too new to Georgia to tell him that.
PLEASE HELP!!!
You can check out his short/messy (a guy thing) profile at "ttr" on Plenty of Fish.
