Independent Mind...

Well folks after a much needed month hiatus I am back and am ready to blog about a lot of things. A couple of times during my hiatus I wanted to blog about things going on but I decided against. I needed the time away and I felt like I would only do one entry and then disappear again. Now I am fully refreshed and have a lot to talk about.

First thing, well I went and changed my voter registration to Columbus so that I could vote here. I am excited about this election. I can't wait to cast my vote. There are a couple of people that need to get out of office. I am so happy that Gov. Taft will be done at the beginning of next year and hopefully Ted Strickland will be our next governor. I don't really get a good vibe from Ken Blackwell and I don't think he would be good for Ohio. I am happy that the polls show him lagging behind Strickland. Also on the the political front Ohio Senator Mike Dewine is in a battle to be reelected for a 3rd time I believe. He is up against Rep. Sherrod Brown. Well Rep. Sherrod Brown has my vote. Dewine continues to support President Bush and anyone who supports that administration will not have my vote, Democrats included. (People get it together in Conneticut and send Joe Leiberman home and get him out of the Senate!) Mike Dewine is trying to paint himself as a person for tax cuts and someone who is independent of President Bush. Well read this, It's all CRAP! Crazy how someone wants to give tax cuts when we have a deficit that continues to grow. Doesn't make sense! Hopefully he will be packing his bags come January.

I know many of you know me as a hard core Democrat but I don't consider myself that anymore. I am a person for the best candidate. In my opinion in the race for Governor and Senator in Ohio the candidates happen to be Democrats. Each election I look at whos running. If there is someone running for reelection I look at what they have done and decide if it's time for change or if I feel they have been affective. Now this brings me to another issue dominating the news.

Former Rep. Mark Foley in Flordia. What the hell was this guy thinking? Sending inappropriate instant messages to underage MALE pages that worked in congress. I was totally shocked when it popped on Yahoo in the news bar that this guy had resigned. I read the rest of the story to find out what the heck was going on. This guy is sick. He was supposedly an advocate for helping protect children for sexual predators. Can I just say hypocrite! What a joke. It upset me to see that they had a picture of him with President Bush when he signed some new law about sexual predators. Needless to say George didn't know he was standing next to one. As many probably know now this guy is claiming to have been molested by a clergyman as a teenage and is supposedly an alcoholic, oh yeah I forgot he now admits that he is GAY! I mean this guy has some serious issues. One thing I do know is that this guy needs to be spending some time locked up behind bars. I am so shocked at how people over the age of 18 still think it is okay to mess with people underage. Listen there are more than enough people roaming the face of the earth. Get someone of AGE! Mark Foley hopefully will go to jail for what he has done. He definitley is a dangerous person. And to those in Congress that knew and tried to keep it hush hush should be put in jail also. The Republican Party gave me a few more reasons to add to my list on why I probably never will ever be apart of that party. Democrats aren't innocent either. I truly think they might have tried to hide the scandel also. It sickens me how crazy the people we elect are. All in the name of power they try and hide information on one of their colleagues just to secure his seat in the House of Representatives. We live in a sick world!

Okay now that I am off of my political soap box I encourage everyone to go out and Vote on November 7th. Every vote counts whether its for a Democrat, Republican, Green or any party. Please do this.
