Let's talk political!

It's possible. I actually talked to a friend about political stuff. I guess telling my Nana eight years ago I was not voting for who she was voting for... almost causing her to have a heart attack, while watching her eyes well, the heat waves escape her nose and ears, and her lip quiver... detoured me from expressing my opinion to everyone. Until yesterday! A friend of mine -knowing I keep my opinion to myself- said "I take it your not a fan of him." Well, um as a matter of fact no, I'm not! It was that simple! Everyone has different opinions. Isn't that why we vote? An hour later we were still close friends with different opinions. Maybe it was just the idea of disappointing my Grandparents? What ever it was, now I'm not as quiet about politics as I am about my bra size. Woah, bad analogy. I just bought my first non nursing bra since I had Kalee and announced my deflated size. Back to topic...I missed the first 45 minutes of the debate last night (had bible study) but made it in time to hear about the health care and education plans. Interesting stuff. Honestly being military I never had to think about the health end of things. Active military and their families have fantastic medical! I have had 2 children and my only medical related expense was gas to and from. Nope not even a co-pay. Now Bears dental expense is a different story...poor kid has my teeth! Now more then ever I see friends affected by medical coverage so just because it's not my primary concern currently, doesn't mean I don't think about it not being a concern at all. Fortunately, neither of these two crazy candidates will be in office by the time Max retires (as funny as that sounds it's only about 9 years away).



...I still think politicians are liars and I would make a better President of a lactation company then either. Oh how formula companies would HATE me!!!

Well I am NOT a big political person but I have been trying to learn as much about these candidates as possible!! So we can talk sometime but I will say I am not very political nor do I like to be but I think that this year it is important because I have a child and he deserves the best!!

You know I love politics! I personally think Obama has the better health plan. The average family can't afford McCain's.
