Election junk...

I have always been known to be a little to involved with most of the things I feel passionate about (A&M being the main one) but right now I'm talking about politics. Even with the 2004 election, when I was only 17 years old, I did my research and decided who I was going to back from the very beginning. I was a HUGE Bush supporter and I have been since 2000, I didn't agree with every decision he made but I always felt that he had the best intentions for America constantly on his mind. I think he is a man of Christian faith and he believes we need those views in America. I don't want to get into everything and I don't want to go off on a rant or anything but needless to say I was disappointed with the election results on Tuesday night. McCain was far from perfect and there were issues I didn’t totally agree with but in this case I saw it appropriate to pick the lesser of two evils. I will say that I am going to support Obama and pray for him because that is what I feel a good American would do and it always annoyed me when people would bash Bush. But I have a feeling there will be several things I will NOT agree with while he tries to implement his extreme liberal views upon our beautiful country. Ultimately I just pray that he proves me wrong. ANYWAY...yesterday I spent a lot of time upset and complaining and finally I decided it is a waste of time.

I will leave you with a few really good quotes that I received in an e-mail last week...

-You CANNOT help the poor by destroying the rich.
-You CANNOT strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
-You CANNOT bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
-You CANNOT lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
-You CANNOT further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
-You CANNOT build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. -You CANNOT help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves. ~ Abraham Lincoln ~

Gig'em and God Bless!!
