So I am sitting here listening to the Presidential debate on the radio, positively livid. I am so furious with what is, and is not being said. Am I the only one wondering if people are really buying this?!
I can think of several people through the years, who have deliberately chosen to NOT work so they can qualify for "this" or "that" government benefit, while we have scraped by in times we COULD have qualified for government help. We just happened to be old fashioned and believed it was our responsibility. (Strange, I know)
Now people stand up and whine about how life's not fair, and they want "somebody", namely, "the lucky rich" to pay for it. Hello!!!
It makes me think we should just stop paying our mortgage (think of the monthly savings!) and let the government rescue us!
I don't want to hear any sob stories, and I promise I won't bore you with mine, because frankly, it's just time to grow up and deal with it.
I heard Sir John Templeton speak at a college graduation, and he said, "Do you want to know the one thing you need to be one of the richest people in the world?" He then said, "You need to have been born in the United States of America. That fact alone means you have been handed the golden ticket to your dreams."
This whole Robin Hood mentality is what made Stalin and Hitler popular. People who hate greedy people, are just on the wrong side of their own greed. Why can't they see what they are giving up to "get even"?
sigh.
Can't I just vote for Sarah Palin?

Amen! I'm not watching to the debate because I'd rather not throw up all over my furniture.
Ugh! I agree! I'll tell you what I'm sick of: why does it have to be a republican OR democrat?? Why can't people do actual research and decide which PERSON is right for them. Not a party. So many people think they need to vote all Dem or Rep. and there is no other option or person.
I hear so many people say, neither of the candidates make them happy. Well, have they looked at any of the independents?? Why are they always left out? Just because the other candidates don't have the money for publicity doesn't mean they don't have good qualities of a president.
There's my rant.
