It's My Blog and I'll Write Politically Charged Statements if I want to!

So basically I will write them here because I am too chicken to write them on facebook. I have a lot of very conservative friends and it is just not worth alienating them to post my true feelings and thoughts on facebook. I respect their views and I love them as people. I will therefore confine my political and social commentary to my own blog where they can choose to read it or not.

Let me just say that I am so frustrated with the Republican Congress! They continue to attempt to blame President Obama for being unyielding when it is they who will not budge! He has already committed what is akin to political suicide in his party by agreeing to huge spending cuts in entitlement programs. No democrat in their right mind would do that. He is definitely compromising with the republicans by agreeing to those giant cuts. It is THEY who will not budge on the fact that revenue needs to be increased. The fastest way to pay down the debts and balance the budget is to combine the republican desire to cut entitlement spending AND the democratic desire to increase taxes. I could just strangle Representative Bohner. He is incompetent and rude. I would never vote for him. Thank goodness he is not from my state. I would be ashamed.

I have no use for Tea Party activists. No one needs extremism. They are fracturing the republican party and if they think they can take an election I think they have another thing coming. There are too many moderate people left in this country and their right wing extremism is almost akin to those of the libertarian. They might as well join ranks. They are as bad for our country in their way as left wing extremists are. Extremism is not the answer and never has been.

AND I think President Obama is doing a fine job as president. He is better than Bush at any rate. What did Bush do? The national debt sky rocketed under his term. The recession started when HE was president. And he got us into huge wars with no end in sight. I am sorry but I cannot be convinced that Bush was a good president. He was a decent man but not a decent president. Sure Obama is not perfect. I 100% disagree with his overhaul of healthcare and I think it needs to be repealed. But overall I think he is trying to do right by the country and trying to be a strong leader and take us in a positive direction. Unless the republicans can come up with someone amazing, I am planning on voting for Obama again.

I'll admit. I voted for McCain in the last general election. And I TOTALLY regretted it! I am SO glad Obama won anyway. I think he is doing a good job given the fact that he came into the presidency at an extremely difficult time.

I know a lot of members of my church think that Mitt Romney could solve many of our problems and how great it would be for a member of the church to be in the presidency. But being a member of the church does not make your political views right and it does not automatically mean you will make a great president. So if Romney sweeps the republican nomination and it ends up being between Romney and Obama, all I am saying is that Romney will have to be pretty darn convincing because I already have a high opinion of Obama and I agree with where he is taking us.

There. I said it all. And it feels good. Because you know what? Since this is my blog I did not have to argue with anyone! I could just say what I wanted to say even though it might be FULL of logical fallacies. I love that. And if anyone leaves a comment I moderate them so if I don't like it I don't have to post it. But feel free to comment!

And if you disagree with any or all of what I have said, good for you! We are all entitled to our opinions and I hope we can still be friends! Just know that in company I will never talk about it because I simply have too much love and respect for my friends to want to argue and fight about it. So there you go.
