Politics the big dirty word we're not supposed to say.

I think we can all agree that the country is kind of a mess right now and with the election coming up there is so much at stake.  Not just for us but for the planet, for the children, for the people in other countries we are at war with.  It's a huge election.

We have two choices unless another person drops his hat in the ring.  Now I have to say I'm a little disappointed in Obama, but mostly because he wasn't able to get much of his agenda done.  Now it's not all his fault, a lot of it has to do with the lack of communication and cooperation with Congress the last 3 1/2 years.  That is kind of a double edged sword.  Both Congress and Obama deserve an F on that course.

And then we have Mitt Romney who is a completely different Mitt Romney then the one who was governor of Massachusetts. He has flip-flopped more then a sandal on a beach.  It's hard to figure out who the heck he would be as a leader, as a purplish Democrat I hope he's the governor.  But it scares the bejesus out of me if he is the one running now.  The only priniciple I think he has is that he likes to make money and is very good at it.  Great for a husband but for a president?

What is his plan for the health care bill?  If he's not intending on fixing it and just wants to get rid of it, what does that say for his principles when he was a governor?  What does that say to the millions of Americans who need healthcare  and are depending on that law to find them some?  What does it say to the millions of Americans without jobs who are sick at the moment?

What is his plan for the education system?  Is he one of those republican who thinks the education department and the energy department should merge?  Yes perhaps we can set up some schools on the oil fields of Saudi Arabia?  Or perhaps they are suggesting that BP take over the education system?  Taxes all over the country are going up and schools are getting rid of arts programs and after school programs, and head start programs all over the country.  Doesn't every kid deserve a good education?

Speaking of energy, what is the plan for energy?  Energy that won't kill the oceans, and the trees and that won't leave us with 3 legged, 3 eyed frogs.  Or are we just going to pick another oil rich country to invade so that we can depend on the kindness of sheiks for the rest of our born days?  Halliburton will certainly be happy but what about all the mothers and fathers of our current brave crop of soldiers? They will live in fear for the next 4 to 8 years  that their sons will be the  next to be called and shipped out.  God bless them for their service, they deserve much better then another war being fought over oil.

I'll keep picking topics that pertain to politics and other interesting things that hopefully will connect us over the next few months.  I still am of the mind that in the end there is much more that connects us as inhabitants on this planet then divides us.  Peace to you and everybody is entitled to an opinion that differs from mine and I promise I'll read it.  Especially if you are someone who can tell me what Mitt Romney really stands for.
