Even so...Election day come quickly.

I am SOOOOOOOOO very weary of this presidential election cycle. I know it is a historic election, I know our economy is in horrible shape, I know we live in a world of terrorist threats, and I know the need to protect unborn life, but I am just weary. I am tired of political advertisements, forwarded emails, bumper stickers, celebrity endorsements of candidates (as if they are somehow more advanced species because they are in a movie), just weary of it all. So, I just decided to rant to get it all out because I will feel better at the end, and ultimately that is what is important.

1. Can someone please tell me, I beg of you, where all of the spineless pastors in this nation came from. Seriously, please stand up and tell the truth-the lives of unborn children and the sanctity of marriage are at stake here, can you please pull your head of your back pocket and your empty wallet. If you are voting for CHANGE because you think someone or some government owes you some money, please get over yourself and realize that your financial security is based on God and your own good choices. Somehow I have got to believe God would rather you vote to save the life of an unborn child, or to protect the union he created rather than voting based on the hope you may have a couple of extra dollars in your pocket. People please, wake up and think.
2. I know that 18 year old people have the right to vote, but I must tell you I am extremely terrified at the notion of people the age of my oldest daughter choosing the president. These are people who cannot even decide what major they want to pursue, what club to party at on the weekend, and who consider beer pong and keg stands great forms of entertainment. These people are choosing the president, my friends. Jesus, come quickly.
3. If I hear one more person say they are voting for Barack Obama because he is African American and so are they, I am going to lose my mind. To begin with, can someone please recognize this man has a white mother, or do mothers all of the sudden not matter? How about vote for someone because of their accomplishments, service to the country, whatever, but enough about color. And while I am on that note, I don't want to hear anymore about voting for Sarah Palin because she is a woman. Guess what, I don't like some women, so just because we both have ovaries, doesn't mean I am going to vote for her either.
4. George W.-Friends, he is not running this time (thank goodness). Let's move on and stop talking about him..It will be over soon enough.
5. Oh...one more thing that is really annoying me....Obama's claim that he did not know his auntie had been told to leave the country and was here illegally. I have to tell you, I really see this as a non-issue, until he decides to lie about it. Yep...I am calling him out...on this one he is a liar. This is how I know. I have one family member who is fairly influential, and if I was ever in even a bit of a minor jam, he would be the first person I would call. I know he knows people and because this person is my family, he will contact those people and help me out. Fortunately, this has never been necessary, other than helping me get good seats at sports events (ha!), but I have to tell you if I was about to be EXPELLED FROM THE COUNTRY and SENT BACK TO A WAR TORN NATION, (sorry for the screaming), I would call my influential family member for help, and he is not even close to being a Senator. So, Barack Obama wants us to believe his sweet little aunt who meant so much to him he included her in his memoirs, went to immigration court and they told her to leave the country, and she NEVER called her SENATOR NEPHEW for assistance. Please. I would call my senator if this was me, and I don't even know him and he sure does not know me. When you are in that predicament, you pull out all of the stops, and it totally makes no sense she would not have contacted her nephew. And as my idol Judge Judy says, if it doesn't make sense, it is a lie.
