So, after years of reading other people's blogs, I decided to start my own. Lately my rantings have been politics! I've always loved politics. I can remember back to the first Bush/Clinton election, and telling people to vote for George Bush, and hoping Bill Clinton wouldn't win. I didn't really know what the issues were, but I knew that I didn't want Bill Clinton to win! :-) Then I remember after that, I would tell people that some day, I would be the first republican female President. Of course people would laugh at me, but I didn't care! Today, I don't think I would EVER want to become President, and those of you who know me know that I would make a HORRIBLE President! However, I still very much love to follow what's going on in Washington.
The thought of Barack Hussein Obama becoming President of this great nation makes me SICK, literally nauseous! While John McCain was not my first choice for a candidate, the more I have listened to him over the last few months, the more he has grown on me, and I am committed to vote for him. I don't agree with everything he has said or does, but after watching his acceptance speech at the RNC, I saw a humility and genuineness in him that I hadn't seen before. I truly believe that John McCain wants to do what's best for our Country. I believe he will take his job as President as seriously as he does his job as Senator.
What bothers me is the number of countless Christians who are choosing to vote for Barack Obama for reasons unknown to me! I don't understand how anyone who truly believes the Bible and God's prinicples can choose to ignore the social issues that are supported by the Obama campaign and vote for him! I mean come on people, he voted against a bill that would stop people from being able to kill babies that were born after botched abortions! That is flat out MURDER!!! I think as Christians we should take our citizens right to vote very seriously and look at what the Scriptures say, and compare it to our candidates platforms and records. I know there are problems with both candidates, but choosing to not vote is also not an option. Which candidate most closely lines up with what the Scriptures say? That is what we should ask.
I'll stop my rantings for now, and I promise that I will not only discuss politics on my blog!
Until later,
Elizabeth
