Well, it is Saturday, the weekend before this very important election between Barak Obama and John McCain. I believe both men have fought very hard for this election. Both sides have done their best to campaign for their thoughts, their party and their causes. Who will be president?

Before becoming a Democrat a few years ago, I have delved into the political process on a local level. I was actively involved in politics as a Republican. I left the Republican party because antics of those in it. The Repuplicans need better leadership. I was also so sick of hearing the rederick of some right-winged conservatives. They claim we need to bring our country back to the way it used to be. They only way that will happen is if these right-winged Conservatives pray for our country. How many of them actually do? It is God's responsiblity to bring that kind of change.

With all that said, I am a conservative. But, I have come to a place in my life to let others believe what they want to believe. You and I might not agree but we have to "agree to disagree". We need to come together as a country and work on issues that will help others in need. With the financial crisis going on, I do not believe it is judgement from God, but I believe it is a wake up call for our country to wake up and help each other.

We need to pray for our country for more than just once a year in May. We need to be on our knees begging God to help us with our attitudes toward each other, how we spend our money, the leaders who make decisions, and above all, who will lead us into the millennium. We are only 8 years into it. I believe we have gone in the wrong direction. I hope with change in Washington, D.C, that it will bring us back to believing in our country and those in it. Most of the world does not.

I hope that with the Presidential prayer team who has supported president Bush with prayer will do the same for the next president, I hope will be President Barak Obama. Whoever wins on election day it is extremely important to vote. Don't stand on the side lines and just wait for something to happen. I cannot believe when I hear how some people don't care to vote. that is a shame. This is an important election and your voice needs to be heard.

First Presidential Debate and reaction

I wonder if any one saw the first of the presidential debates with McCain and Obama? I was absolutely floored by the attack of McCain toward Obama. I believe that Obama made some very good points for change while McCain did nothing but say negative things toward Obama. I did not hear anything good come out of the mouth of McCain only attack. I hope that the American people do not fall for this kind of non-sense of McCain. He bragged about himself about his war record. Well, John, we got that a long time ago. And from the sounds of it, McCain has never let anyone forget what he went through. I think if McCain takes office we are in big trouble and NOTHING will get done in Washington, It is so bitter now with the Republicans against the Democrats and visa versa. I think Obama will bring a leveling point to Washington, that McCain will not. I think McCain will make it worse. I could not believe the debate last night. McCain kept attacking Obama without provocation and he never said anything of real substance. I think McCain will bring that arrogant spirit to Washington and like I said Nothing Will get done. It will be 4 more years of a stale mate. What is McCain going to do, attack the Democrats in Congress? How much with that get us? I actually started praying for Barak Obama that he can focus on the debate and not get flustered by McCain's attacks because Obama seemed defensive. I would be too if I were constantly attacked. I have less respect for John McCain than I did before. I do not think he is a credible candidate. I wonder what he really has done in Congress? I t did not seem to me that he learned anything and feel McCain is absolutely out of touch with most Americans. He doesn't know how many kitchen tables he has? How could he ever bring a stabilizing force for change? He cannot.

Vice President Debate

After listening to both Vice Presidential Debates that the candidates debated very well. I hope that the presidential candidate that you choose will have more information from tonight. Who won? My view is Joe Biden came out articulately on the issues, where I felt Governor Palin used more flowerly words which showed her inexperience in Washington. I think both parties are balanced with inexperienced and experienced candidates. I hope that your party's Vice Presidential candidate answered your questions about Education, the Iraq War, the Economy, and other issues. I believe both candidates excellently supported their presidential candidate

John Edwards Scandal

As you are all aware of the scandal of John Edwards. He was caught having an affair while running for president. The worse part of the scandal is that he cheated on his wife while she was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer. A disease his wife, Elizabeth is not determined to recover from. It has made me angry that he did this because this shows to me a lack of respect for his wife. Where was the presidential hopeful when his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer? As it has now surfaced, he was running for a position in the highest place in the country while cheating on his wife. I felt sadden for his wife Elizabeth, who is I am sure, humiliated over this scandal. I am not sure why did not wait until she had passed away to start a new relationship, which would have been perfectly acceptable. But to be cheating on Elizabeth, while she was alive, has no regard for her or for her condition. If he cannot be a devoted husband during a family crisis, how can he run our country? I think it is best to say his political career is just about over. I hope so. I would encourage you all to pray for Elizabeth, who has to battle this dreaded disease and how has to live with the heartbreak of this scandal.

Not voting?

As I am talking to various people about the subject of the election I am agast over how many people are chosing NOT to vote. What is up with that?! Some people I talk to say their vote doesn't count anyway because it is the electorial college who votes. Well, who are they anyway?
