Made me sick to my stomach, what Palin did on the campaign trail, the words coming out of that empty head. I looked back on what the Republicans have done to this country in my lifetime. Their words and actions are in direct opposition. History showed me what they have done in the past, and the future promised to be all that financial disaster starting with Reagan, plus the social takeover. The social takeover is a big deal. Big lightbulb moment.
I've been wrong. No more of that. It's too dangerous to our country and our freedoms. At the very least, the Dems always stand up for individual freedoms and rights far better than the GOP. They have proven themselves more fiscally responsible. The proof is in the past 60 years of action.
Do I agree with everything Obama has done? Not at all. But he's turned out quite a strong, capable, intelligent President who has made good and tough decisions, and you bet I'll vote for him again. I wish I could give him three terms.
And Happy Birthday <g>
