Hi Bob,
After reading about Christine O'Donnell, I got so upset I had to write a blog to go nowhere.
As someone who had a choice in the country in which she could reside, I wish now that I had a crystal ball. Who would have believed that someone would get elected who would make Karl Rove look like a first choice for Democrats? In fact, one has to wonder if the Tea Party candidates have been financially supported by the Democratic party to bring the Republicans to ruin. It sure looks like that from my perspective.
Ms Christine O’Donnell’s victory as the candidate for the Republican candidate from Delaware makes one wonder about the wisdom of democracy. Should you be required to take a test to answer questions about the candidates before you get to vote? If you don’t get any right, should you be allowed to mark your ballot? Her beliefs and her fiscal incompetence makes me wonder why anyone who has an IQ over 80, would choose her as the person they want to lead them for the next 4 years. Are Americans really that stupid?
It’s truly a mystery to me how we have come to this place, if not for the average person choosing someone like himself/herself, to represent them. Average means being typical. Do you feel capable of running our government? Then why would you choose someone like yourself to be your representative? That’s how President Bush came to office and we all know what an excellent job he did - running our country into debt and ruining our reputation in international circles. I guess there are many who long for the good old days, when George W spoke their language. Why, we now have a black man in the White House who at least
30 percent of the country believe was not born in America and thus, not qualified to be president. I am amazed at the ignorance of the populous and their apathy to search for the truth. It’s easier to listen to TV and radio shows that feed blarney, hate and sound bites, to garner your day’s dose of political rhetoric. I should be realistic. There are folks in my own family who use Michael Savage as their political guru and believe every word he utters. GOD help America!

ReplyDeleteI am compelled to respond. Judy yes it truly is unfortunate you didn’t have a crystal ball to look into the future. If that were the case it sounds as if you would have settled in a country that was more suitable to your beliefs. Judy you still have options in where you live, that is one of the wonderful things about our great country, the door swings both ways, you are always welcome to leave at any time. It is individuals like you, who think as you do that is motivating people to join and give power to Tea Party, so thank you. You condescending attitude and sentiments so very familiar, “If you don’t think like I do, then you are of lower intelligent and stupid.” It is one thing to disagree with others, but for you to say that you know better, and or you are smarter then more then 30,000 people who voted for O’Donnell I find offensive. If you had simple explained why you are so opposed to Ms. O’Donnell, instead just a blanket statement of because of “Her beliefs and her fiscal incompetence” I you would have explained those two point, I too my have ended up disliking her as well. I would also encourage you to look at American history. It is full of averaged Americans being elected into office, and leading successfully. As typical you and many others like you point at George W. Bush, and how he has put this country in such debt, and how our countries reputation has been ruined. Now I am not going try to defend President George W. Bush, but what about our current president. How much debt has he added in less then 2 years in office? Again I am not here to beat up on the president, I just think it is getting tiring to keep look back at just George W. Bush, when you are not willing to look at the current state of our country. I think it is only used as a distraction, as not to look at what is going on right in front of us.
