6 Days

Well, we have 6 days until the final ballots get counted and the nastiness either ramps up and shuts up completely, depending on your view. This election has been hard on all of us, doesn't matter who you are. A small part of me actually feels sorry for all those who declare GOP because of the candidate they ended up with. This person has made a mockery of what could have been a great election and many of the educated & church raised voters allowed this behavior and brushed it off. In truth, I'm petrified if this person makes it into office. Way more so than if our first Woman candidate becomes President. When the other guy, what was his name, oh yeah, the Mormon was running, I was nervous. But the current human who is on the ticket for the GOP, could quite easily (or do his best) reverse all the advances the female voters, mothers, workers, PhD's, etc... have made over the years. If one pays too much attention to the news, than one would hear talk of all kinds of BS. The biggest thing that makes me ill is the double standard of said BS. What's going to happen to my nieces as they come of age and make tracks for the life they want to live and it does not include the old way of thinking, barefoot & pregnant... I'm getting off topic some or rather swinging into a fear chant. The real power we have as voters is taking control of who we have in DC representing our districts. Did you know that all of them, all 435 House and 34 Senate seats, are up for election on tuesday? I voted one of mine out who wasn't doing what he need to do, like standup and say he's not supporting certain actions and statements from the GOP candidate. Which told me he either has no cojones or has the same thinking. (the female voice on google had a smile on her face when she read the word cojones... pretty funny, had to check spelling on it...) Anyway, I was getting some lunch from the food bank yesterday and heard one person say they voted for the green party. I like Jill, there is hope for her. It will be very interesting on tuesday when the results come in. This election has made us a laughing stock and the home of bad jokes around the world and its embarrassing, because I love my country. Will miss the Obama's. They have class, respect, and just down right nice folks. He was handed to small beach shovel to dig us out from under of the Mt Everest of horse poop Bush Jr handed him. Obama did it without being rude or disrespectful, and he got the bad guy!!!!
