I have sat back, content to listen, watch and analyze the political campaign thus far from the comfort of my "retiree" arm chair. I pesonally would like to remain unattached and content to have someone make the hard decisions that will bring comfort and security to the masses. Unfortunately, I do not see it happening. The political race for the parties is all but over and as they used to say in my day "it's all over but the shoutin".
O'Bama and McCain seem to be the candidtes of choice and never in my many years of exercising my right to vote have I been so disappointed in two candidates. The last time I voted for a Democratic candidate was John F. Kennedy and in that year, I think I simply cancelled my husbands vote.
There has never been a year when so much importance could be placed on an election and never have I seen two lesser candidates. Neither of these candidates nor most of the Democrats who are running for Congress are interested in making us oil independent by opening up our vast oil resources in Alaska and off the Coast. Never has America been so content to let ourselves be buried in debt while preserving for those who will soon control us economically and politically our vast resources at the expense of our freedom.
We in America have surely hit a new low. Not only are we signing on to the incompetence of the political machines, we are helping dig our grave for the great burian of a wonderful country.
I have listened through the years as those who were disturbed by the political turn of events in their losses and threatened to leave the country but indeed, as it stands this year, no matter which is elected I feel the urge to find a country not yet overcome by stupidity, incompetence and plain political suicide.
