Nice that Newt Gingrich took the time to telephone to tell us that if we are Patriots, believe in Family Values, and are Moral, we need to vote Republican.  He worked out well when he had his chance the last time people wanted to “throw the bums out”.  Margaret really like that message.  Ugh.  Is enough to make big spending incumbent Democrats look like the best option.  

Maybe this guy at Stewart / Colbert rally had it right?  I’ll just take a Pony and ride back to Toronto.

first am pretty sure that regardless who gets elected can no one will get anything done in DC because they’ll be worrying first and foremost about which party is “winning” and their next election.   I’m pretty sure its even worse in Harrisburg – PA can probably give CA a run for their money for state govt most inept and irretrievably broken.

then I am pretty sure that every politician will say whatever they think will get them elected versus what they actually believe in – what would you like me to be.

then i don’t actually even know what they believe in because they are spending record amounts of money trashing their oponents versus saying anything constructive.

then as a registered republican i’d like to vote for someone who is fiscally conservative but the repubican’s are robocalling telling me that they are the moral vote for an america that I don’t want anything to do with.

then i get depressed because we get what we deserve, and a society that is more interested in the hooker charlie sheen is sleeping with in the room next door to his ex wife and daughters than where our country is going………….

then i am ranting this while I sit on the porch drinking wine as all sorts of cute trick or treaters come up on the porch and pick candy, when I could be in the Congo or Chechnya or…………

if i was a little more sure we weren’t headed in that direction

Better find a career in an industry in which NA can still innovate and compete.  The United States has lost approximately 42,400 factories since 2001, and a total of about 5.5 million manufacturing jobs since October 2000.  In America today, consumption accounts for 70 percent of GDP. Of this 70 percent, over half is spent on services. We can argue about the long term economic value – never mind living wages – of these service jobs, but how many services do you think those 5.5M who lost their mfg jobs can afford right now?

How nice is it to wake up for the annual take your daughter to university day
to find the halls empty and the car all packed? No carry and fetch, no
screaming, no drama.

Being able to still see out the back window and 120 mi to Carlyisle vs 300 to
Bethlehem is added bonus.

Just saying Megan.
