I’d love to vote for this Obama. Pehaps the country really is as stupid has he thinks we are. We’ll find out in two weeks. – David
I know pretty much the only thing I’ve been posting lately is political and that is probably driving some of you crazy. We’ll get back to the family stuff. I promise. Even though Emily is super supportive and is just as excited as I am about McCain/Palin she wishes I would stand down with all this political posting to our Family Blog. I was just explaining to one of my friends my current political views in an email and why I am so energized right now and why I will calm down about 60 days from now.
Here is what I said:
“I was just teasing about Ron Paul. I’ve known about him for a long time. How can you miss him with such an energetic support base. He turned me off during the debates because he came across so angry.
I have a very similar challenge with the two party system. Even democracies are manmade. I have for years been troubled by this and that is why I am very rarely involved in political issues. I don’t even have a strong stance on the war. I don’t care about the Republicans or Democrats except when if it relates abortion or moral issues like gay marriage. I certainly have preferences towards a smaller and less invasive government but in the end that isn’t a justice or moral issue.
I am taking a strong stand for McCain/Palin because the next president will nominate at least one more Supreme Court justice. We only need one more pro-life justice to overturn Roe v Wade. As a result I extremely excited about a republican nominee who says “human rights start at conception” and “I will be a pro-life president.” Not only that Palin is a charismatic Christian! That’s got me excited!
So as you can see I am going to make big deal about this election and McCain/Palin but when the elections are over I will likely get really quiet again except for my petitions to the Lord.”
