The 2008 National Elections. . . Whose nation is it anyway?

Friday, July 6, 2007


Poem Artwork




race and religion
and gender division
create such an air
that our freedom's in prison
a vote for obama
creates racist drama
and voting for clinton
creates such suspicion
but all of the rest
stand the good ol' boy test
so if white males are right males
let's sort out the details
our nation is blending
so please stop pretending,
release old tradition
and heal our condition

GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!
AND BRING THEM HOME
TO THEIR FAMILIES SOON!

By Brian Braiker

Newsweek



July 6, 2007 - Could 2008 be the year that Americans put an end to an unbroken 218-year streak of electing white male presidents? Large majorities report a willingness to vote for either a woman or an African-American candidate for the office, according to the latest NEWSWEEK Poll. But those numbers drop significantly when respondents are asked whether the country is ready to accept a black or a woman in the White House.

Cynth'ya,

Personally, I don't think any of 'em has our best interest in mind...........they've all forgotten whom they serve. A thought provoking write, excellently penned.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Once again, our ballot is filled with the self-serving, unable to be trusted, names of politicians and I am staring down the pipe at choosing the lesser of the evils. Why must it be so, that I must choose an evil? I think I will vote for the Libertarian - backed Candidate, though I know he is fighting a battle that he can never win, so did Gandhi; and a vote for what I believe in, which is the preservation of my Constitution and Bill Of Rights as well as a government "of, by and for the people" is being true to myself instead of buying into all the political hype and lies once again. The important thing is to vote and also to understand “all” of the issues for which the candidate stands. So many simply vote a party line and never really understand what that party’s charter says or what that candidate is truly committed to. Thanks for reminding us of our civic responsibility and that the future of our Country rests upon our shoulders.
Take care,
Sherry
