I'm glad this presedential election is over. It's been a long time coming, and
I'm glad to see the campaign ads off the TV.
For years now, I've said that John McCain was the type of person I wanted to see
in the White House.
I voted for Barack Obama. It wasn't an easy choice. In fact, I waffled until
the week before the election. There were a lot of things about Obama that I
liked, and disliked. Same thing for McCain.
In the end, it came down to VP candidates, and who I thought would appoint a
better cabinet. Sarah Palin? I think she's a walking joke. I think the
Republican party has to do better than assume somebody "folksy" will appeal to
middle America. I thought it was a cynical choice, to pick an idiot for a
running mate. Sure, the R's have elected doofuses before (see Dan Quayle and W
for examples), but there's something about Sarah Palin that just rubs me wrong.
I think she's putting on an act.
So, where to now? I'm worried that we now have one party with both control of
the executive branch, and the legislature. We need to keep an eye on our
legislators, people, and keep them from doing stupid stuff because they can. We
need to watch Pelosi and her cronies carefully.
I really believe in having one party control the executive branch while another
has the majority in the legislature. That's why I voted for a lot of Republican
legislative candidates. Hopefully, we, the people can keep the new majority in
congress from taking the bit between their teeth and running off like fools.
The old adage still applies: Love your country, fear your government. |
