Lori Dabbles in Politics



I've never been too into politics, in fact, I used to CRINGE whenever my dad would change the radio station to Rush Limbaugh (side note, my sister even dubbed that station as "the voices" as in, "Dad, please turn off the voices!!"). But lately I find myself turning to AM talk radio every time we're in the car. The way our economy is going, the moral direction our country is headed... it just all gives me a major sense of unrest. I am scared for our country. Not because of what is happening now, but what I feel may happen next Tuesday. I am scared out of my mind that Obama is going to win this election and starting on Wednesday we will become France or worse (a socialist country). I can't believe how some of my friends, who are devout Christians, say they are voting for Obama. The reasons they give are beyond ludicrous in my mind - they have no FOUNDATION!! They say, "Well, I feel that any politician who has drawn our generation into politics the way he has will be good for our country and the way it's viewed by other countries." Um... but what about his stance on abortion, the redistribution of wealth, taxes, healthcare and so many other things? I could ramble on and on and on and on, but I'm not going to. I just want you to really think about the implications of voting for a man who has blatently said that he bemoans the fact that the supreme court has not "overcome" The Constitution of the United States of America. Please... think about the next four years not just focus on this man's age, race and smooth talking.

You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view

Not bad article, but I really miss that you didn't express your opinion, but ok you just have different approach
