The Year of the Nut-Job

  What happened this year? How did so many "fringe" candidates get to be a force on the political landscape? Angle,Palidino,O'Donnell,Greene,Miller,Rubio,Whitman,and a host of others. This is scary times,indeed.The fact that these whacks could actually make a difference in our lives, says way too much, about the direction the country is heading. The fact that this is only a few of the people running,says even more.
  I saw a "gentleman" on The Maddow show the other day who should be in the loony bin .Instead he is running for a Congressional seat in Oregon. With Palin,Bachman,DeMint leading the way ,our country is so headed in the wrong direction.They wish to push the religious button on us and make us walk in their shoes. I am happy in my own shoes.
  The way these people are twisting facts to fit their agenda  is also pretty scary.They incite violence,yet step back and disavow it, when it happens.They incite racism ,yet say,that's not what they meant.They have made being a Muslim a dirty word,because it doesn't fit their perception of God!
I have heard it being said that Obama is not the man we voted for. I have to agree with that to a certain extent. I would also have to say  that not voting a straight Democratic ticket would let these fools win .If they win ,we lose!
  Whatever misgivings one may have for Obama,please don't take your eye off the big picture.He seems to be doing the best he can ,under conditions no President has ever had to face.To vote for a 3rd party or  to do a write in is just handing the ball over to "them".This is NOT the time to cut your nose off to spite your face.
  I am not happy with all the Democratic office seekers. I feel the Dem's have let way to many opportunities slide by. But having said that,they are still miles and miles ahead of what the alternative is.
  When you go to vote next month,think and think hard.Do you want someone who wants to extend your rights? Or do you want someone who wants to take them away?Do you want to be ruled  in a free society? Or do you want to be ruled by moral hypocrites?For me the choice is obvious.As plain as the nose on my face.The one I won't cut off !
