I Had a Bad Dream

The other night, I had a dream that I was watching election returns and one by one the states were all turning red. In the end, Maryland was the only state that hadn't been called yet. Then, ultimately they flipped it red also. Maryland! That will never happen. I was upset, in the dream, and tried to find my wife to seek her counsel on how that could happen. She and my son were fixated on finding some root beer, so I was left to try to figure it out on my own.

I doubt that's how things are going to turn out on Tuesday. I sure hope not.

So that's about all I'm going to say about the Presidential election. Mostly I'm just exhausted with the whole thing. We need to come up with a way to shorten this process. A year from candidates declaring themselves through the primaries and the election. That should be plenty of time. By now they are mostly just pulling out stuff that doesn't make any sense to hurl at the opposition (and by "they", I primarily mean "Republicans").

So, anyway, whoever you support, we can all be glad this will be over in a couple days.

you know what I'm sick of ? Five gazillion phone calls a day from people urging me to vote one way or another. I have caller id, like most people, and rarely answer the phone right now.

Funny, your bad dream is my hope. One would think that reflecting on where things stand in the good ole U S of A the extreme liberal views should be seen for what they are. Killers to the concept of personal freedoms and a serious step toward socialism. Unfortunately, conservatives have tried being nice people in the expectation that the intellect of the common man/woman would prevail but they fail to realize socialism is already controlling the media and flooding our brains with what we should believe and what we should think, and of course, for whom we should vote. The election of Obama/Biden and the flood of d's really will mark a turning point in the downfall of freedom. People have become too stupid and too lazy to take care of themselves and would much rather the government do it for them. OK, for the morons of the world, that's a good thing. For people with a brain, some ambition and the values to guide them, it's not.
