My Political Vent

My head and my heart are full of uncertainty right now. I was not a big John McCain fan. In fact I really just considered him the least disasterous of our choices for President. However, I am still trying to wrap my head around how so many people fell for the smooth talk of Barack Obama. Before I voted yesterday I asked myself if there was anything in the scriptures that might give insight into my desicion. The passage "by their fruits, ye shall know them.." popped into my head. Obama made lots of pretty speeches and promises, but what are his fruits? Well for all those who said Sarah Palin was inexperienced, I would like to know where Obama's experience is? His few short years in the Senate give him a record as one of the MOST liberal senators. His opinions on social issues scare me to death. How could any one with any humanity favor partial birth abortions! His plans for the economy make no sense to me. While I would love for the people who make ridiculous amounts of money to take away some of my tax burden, I understand that it doesn't work that way. Raising any taxes right now can only translate into more job loss in our country, which means fewer people paying taxes, which means greater burden on those who are paying! And when it comes to foreign policy...I could go on and on, but I won't because Barack Obama is the President-Elect of the United States of America. As disappointed as I am in this, I believe that as our President he deserves our respect and our support (as much as possible without compromising our standards). I hope he can bring the country together. Anyone who knows me knows that I love to be right, but this is one time that I really hope I am wrong.

I hope I don't offend anyone with my opinions, but this is also kind of my journal, and I wanted to get my feelings out of my head!
