We the people............

I'm adding to a  blurb I wrote almost 2 years ago, with November around the corner and the frustration I feel I wanted to post it again.  I'm very  proud to be a politically conservative woman, even more so when I talk to liberals because they don't make much sense to me.  It's ironic that alot of them hate the same things I do but yet they keep voting for the people who make those things happen. I just want to cock my head and ask them what in the hell they're thinking!  It feels like we're losing our Country and all it stands for, I know I'm not going to agree with everything the elected ones are doing or will do, but I would at the very least like to say I  respect them and trust them to have everyone's best interest at heart.  I'm tired of our leader blaming Bush, republicans, FOX...or anyone else who disagrees with him...man up and take some ownership...hear us and work for us...after all "WE...are the people."

We all listen, compare issues, characters, trustworthiness, and then debate with others who's going to be the best Politician….not the RIGHT one…the best.  We can argue politics til we’re blue in the face but in the end it all comes down to one thing, and that one thing is different for everyone. It may be healthcare, the war in Iraq, the economy, immigration, or gay marriage, it may be a number of things…there is always something that is dear to our heart for personal reasons. I've been told that the wise thing to do is to separate our heart from the big picture, I'm not sure that we should separate our heart stuff…our moral compass…our emotional being…from the big picture….I mean "We the people" are just that....people…and people are all about human emotions…right and wrong. We make judgment calls everyday…good choices, bad choices, but at the end of the day we are faced with what that day held for us…"We the people" We pay the consequences for our rightness or wrongness. We can let our heads lead us…let information lead us…let friends and family sway us…but in most cases, before we make a decision…before we even start to mull over the peaks and valleys of our choice…we already know the answer…I can't help but believe that if we all voted our conscience and forgot about the lesser of two evils…forgot about the big picture and focused on the here and now…the moment…the heart moment…we actually might end up with the right person in office. Face it, all the hoopla, the coverage, rallies and debates…it's all about being a politician, who can say the best thing the best way…with the right amount of confidence and conviction, who can turn things they've done or haven't done around to make themselves look better than they are….but we know who they are…we all know who they are.

My "in the end, dear to my heart for personal reasons" is the abortion issue, it‘s not my only issue and it‘s not my only important issue, but it is my moral compass issue. The majority of us "pro-lifers" know it isn't ideal to have congress decide what a woman can and cannot do with her own body…but the alternative is to keep killing more babies and that just isn’t something I’m okay with. I respect the choices of women…I just think that someone has to stand up…stand behind…fight for….the women who haven't been born yet. We’re all on the same page….we all want life….the only real difference is the women that are here now can voice their feelings, but the babies, the daughters, the little girls…(and of course all the little boys) who aren't here, need someone else to have a voice for them.

So what I’m saying is that even if Obama and his cronies started making sense…to me, I just can’t make myself vote for someone who cares more about an illegal immigrant than he does a defenseless baby. I want to live in a Country with a strong Christian at the helm…shoot me for being sooooo closed minded but that’s important to me and I believe it’s suppose to be.
