It’s your vote, please use it wisely


Maybe you’ve read this already, but in case you haven’t, or just need a refresher:

I think there’s a really good chance that Sarah Palin could be president, and I think that’s a really scary thing because I don’t know anything about her. I don’t think in eight weeks I’ll know anything about her. I know that she was mayor of a really, really small town and she’s been governor of Alaska for less than two years. I think the pick was made for political purposes but in terms of governance its a disaster. If you do the actuary tables, there’s a 1 out of 3 chance – if not more – that McCain doesn’t survive his first term and it’ll be President Palin. (You know) we were just talking about it earlier. Its like a really bad Disney movie. You know, the hockey mom (saying) “Oh, I’m just a hockey mom from Alaska!” And she’s the president! and its like, she’s facing down Vladimir Putin (using the) folksy stuff she learned at the hockey rink. Its just absurd. Its totally absurd and I don’t understand why more people aren’t talking about how absurd it is. Its a really terrifying possibility. The fact that we’ve gotten this far…and we’re that close to this becoming a reality…is ….crazy. Crazy. I mean, did she, I mean I really need to know if she thinks dinosaurs were here 4000 years ago. That’s an important…I wanna know that, I really do. Because she’s gonna have the nuclear codes. You know, I wanna know if she thinks dinosaurs were here 4000 years ago. Or if she banned books, or tried to ban books. I mean, this is…this is…we can’t have that.

We’re lucky to live in a country where anyone can grow up to be president or vice president. But that doesn’t mean that we should vote for just anyone.  It’s your vote – and that of many people who can’t vote.  Use it wisely.

Please.

    Jill, I just looked you up, and you’re still talking! Keep it up – you make so much sense to me.

    I cant’ get back to Angry Grandpa, since I have had to change my emal address. And we live in a different commuith nowl – Macedonia, which is 20 miles north of Akron, ju east of Rte 8.

    I’ve started a new blog, was writing another session and had to save it. Now I can’t get back to it! And I find no way to insert text as with the previous dashboard.

    Dilemma, dilemma! Oh, well I’ll figger it out sometime!

    I lam apalled at McCain’s lack of sense in selecting Palin. I know why he thougt he had to do it, which shows how desparate he is. And we don’t need a desparate president, let alone an old one! I am truly insulted, even though I’m not a Republcan. Perish the thought! Obama/Biden is the only ticket that makes any sense. Obama has to take back his drive for change. He has almost stood by and let McAin Hijack his whole campaign. For shame!

    Good to read you again, and I hope to be able to continue with Puzzle Boxes.

    Love,
