Ok, so I lied.
I said I'd only post one political post about the election this year. But my friend Dan, a Major in the US Army currently stationed in Saudi Arabia (Yay! My blog's gone global!), sent this snippet to me, illustrating my point from my political post from yesterday. I thought I'd share it, since it not only is it funny, but again confirms my reason for voting Republican this year.
Here it is, and it's titled "Even Children Understand":
While visiting some friends, I was talking to their little girl, and she said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, 'If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?' She replied, 'I'd give houses to all the homeless people.' Her parents were beaming with pride at her answer. 'Wow - what a worthy goal.' I told her, 'You don't have to wait until you're President to do that. You can come over to my house and mow, pull weeds, and sweep my yard,and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward a new house.'
She thought that over for a few seconds 'cause she's only 6 years old. And while her Mom glared at me, she looked me straight in the eye and asked,'Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?' And I said, 'Welcome to the Republican Party.'
Yep. Again, how true!
A scary old elf indeed

I don't like either candidate. But it annoyed me to hear McCain say (in his acceptance speech) that he was intending to increase the "child tax credit" to $3,000. That's bullshit!
It also makes me think that someone's going to be mowing, pulling weeds, and sweeping yards to pay for it if it goes through!
But as I said earlier, I don't really like either candidate.
