When I got home and checked facebook, there was a lot of posts that there was wild weather, tornado warnings and downpouring rain in the mountain and desert areas. Which is where we generally see the thunder clouds off in the distance and they do get the most diverse weather. We are having cooler temps but the humidity is telling of what was in the air.
cisclaimer that I took my ambien towards the end, might need to rework parts of it,..
Tonight as we have for the last couple of nights are watching the coverage on Hannity and Election Headquarters on Foxnews. I switch back and forth to CNN now and then to see wht they are covering about it, but all I've come across are alot of commercials.. I am a Republican by values, Greg to get the democrat information is registered as a Democrat but votes Republican. Our kids are Republicans and have been trained to vote becaue it is your alienable right as free people to do so.
At the convention before the main speakers of Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney, watching those who I have been most impressed by are; Governor Nikki Haley of SC, Governor Susana Martinez of NM, Condeleeza Rice Secretary of State to the Bush Administration. The number of Gov's who came into leadership of their state with deficits, and left with a surplus and balanced budgets, grew their economies in spite of having Obama thwarting there every step. Their motivation to come from little or nothing. They had parents who encouraged them to work hard, be graceful, get off your butt, go to school and they have acheived high levels of public service and accomplishment in career choices. I encourage you to google or youtube their speeches.
Now I'll just give you a heads up that if you are a democrat and would prefer not to read what Greg and I think whether politically correct or not, please stop reading NOW.......................................................................................... okay if your still reading.. hang on to your hats cuz whoo, I am going to give it to you straight.
Obama hasn't done shit since day one of his presidency but seemingly drive us into a hole and on purpose.. He was elected by a large number of people who bought into his promise of "hope" "change" "yes we can". Many were looking for that as the housing market and job markets were failing and they were struggling economically and cast their ballot for him. We could only stand back and pray that he would follow through on his promises. Not one has been done..
With the banks giving out loans like candy to people who didn't have the right to have a loan given to them because they were buying a glut in houses they couldn't afford and then the bottom fell out of construction, tech jobs, etc. Many people bought into the "change", but in the four years since he has given bailouts to banks that shouldn't have gotten bail outs, even if it meant they failed. That is a controversial opinion, but we paid for that severely in the Federal Debt that just was borrowed to make it happen. Then there was the Obamacare which is a debt per year that our generations to come will never be able to pay back. Medicare is a dead issue for anyone 45 or under.... we borrow 45 cents of every dollar now given out to medicare, it needs reform to be viable and it's necessary as the promise for Americans. And yet reform is a dirty word to Obama and his party. Jobs haven't been created they've continued to dwindle as government stifles economic growth. He could have given the bailout money to families and stimulated the economy evenly.
We too were affected in our retirement by a bust in the stock market where drilling for oil reserves with American ingenuity was blocked, banned by the Obama administration until they went bankrupt. We'll keep working longer but to what extent will the government understand to get out of the way of the inventive spirit of the americans who employ them and stop regulating it to death.
The biggest red flag we saw in the pre months of the last election was the warnings that Obama was tied to and had the ideals of socialism. And his immediate "share the wealth" is very noble, but not in a country of freedom. Charity and offerings of time and money are what we are called to be as Christians and followers of Jesus. Wealth is not sinful povery is not a station in life but a place to fight out of and to keep striving to get help while in it. But when you take wealth from those who work hard for it, and give it away to others just to be equal, that is wrong. There is much work to be done to create Jobs for every citizen. Welfare to work, short program life to collect on where you show the inventive side of moving forward. We all do it everyday for our selves and with other who are fighting the same battle.
We both feel that Obama's hope had no action. That doesn't work for anyone. Hope and change was divide and conquer. He gave away as much money as he could to sink America into a debt to foreign countries, that can't be paid back. Socialism by apatheic leadership. His plan is to walk away with no regrets to that debt, he's heated up the racial divide that wealth is only by class and only for whites, and that poverty is is only for anyone non white. That is wrong and not what I see. Poverty is 1 in 6 families, it knows no boundaries and with hard work you can achieve and yet there are times and phases of setbacks for anyone.
I won't apologize for our disdain of Obama.. and yes I've rambled on and it wasn't perhaps making much sense, but it I wrote what was spilling out of Gregs mouth would need to be bleeped out...and he'd be in time out..
Go Mitt Romney / Paul Ryan
