ELECTION DAY.....

There's EIGHT (8) more days left until ELECTION DAY!

I've finally caught up on some shut-eye and Sunday is usually Family & Football day so to sum up the weekend: FANTABULOUS! Political discussion was up in the air with the fam --- even my mom is enthusiastic about the Obama-Biden ticket --- but one thing has lingered in my mind. My bro mentioned that it seems like I've put Mr. Barack Obama on a pedestal. Which made me think: Am I enforcing my beliefs and confidence on others in regards to the future President of the United States?

I'm guilty of it. I've even blocked several McCain- Palin articles because my mind has been programmed to receive only Obama info, stats, etc. However, I think my low tolerance on bullshit is stronger than ever. Each and every single time Sarah Palin does an interview, I would rather shave my head than to listen to this woman's attempt to sound even the least bit sagacious. She proves me right though - each and every time. During an episode of Larry King on CNN, they posted an interview she had done where a third grader asked, 'What does a Vice President do?'

She replied, 'The Vice President stands by the President and is a team player. They go in the Senate and help make decisions...' Excuse me for a minute while I shoot myself with the thought of someone who can't even answer a third grade question, possibly becoming second in command. I think even the third grader knows the Vice President doesn't go in the Senate to shake things up. She didn't answer the question! It goes the same for McCain!

I'm not looking for an eloquent speaker like Barack but what I do want is for someone to address the current concerns of the American people with great knowledge and concrete plans to do so. A politician is a politician is a politician ... I get it. But I stand by my choice and will go to the polls on November 4th and self-assured Mr. Barack Obama will come through.....

What are your thoughts on this? Are you also guilty of coercing your beliefs - about Barack Obama or the leader of your respective party - to your family, friends, or co-workers?
