More good news!
 
But, sadly, some of you won't see it that way.

It's an election year. All of a sudden...the sun comes out and we have a picnic.
Sorry...I am so tired of hearing the latest statistics on this or that. I just may skip the election completely.

The last paragraph summed it up well. It's outrageous that we have education and healthcare so low on our list of priorities. It's a chickenbone in the throat for many on the right though, how could the CIC have accomplished anything positive? 30% increase in exports? Seems like a change for the better to me. ;)

I'll be there, with whatever ID is required. Heck, if they try to demand a DNA sample, I'll be there. If anyone tries to get between me and the voting booth, I might end up in jail, but I'll try to fight my way into the booth before the cops arrive.

And you can bet your life on that.

It's not only a right, it's an obligation.

I'm not about to jump on the doom and gloom train either. I don't see the point of all of this negativity and pessimism.

It's nothing but destructive and I think it's deliberate. Like an angry, pouting teenage boy throwing a childish fit because the coach won't let him play first string, and he's convinced himself that only he can win the game.......That's the face of the GOP the last four years.

And that is exactly what the negative ads are designed to do, energize the base and turn off the middle so that they will stay home.

Maybe so merrylander...maybe so. My decision to vote will most probably hinge on the VP running mate.

Interesting. The office of VP is commonly referred to as the most useless job in the world.

Wasn't it Alben Barkley, FDR's Veep, that said the office was not worth a bucket of warm spit.

Oops, he was Truman's Veep.
