A few thoughts, from an Independent, that many here might not agree with and/or despise...but..
Let me get this right…
Higher taxes Larger government More beauracracy Re-distribution of wealth Weaker border control Entitlements for undocumented illegal immigrants paid for by hardworking tax-paying citizens Quashed domestic production and further increased dependence on foreign oil Cut and run from the most strategic front against complete dominance by fundamentalist hatred and government sponsored terrorism Watered-down sanctions and meaningless negotiations with terrorists and megalomaniac dictators Constitutional rights for prisoners of war Less funding for intelligence operations More appointed so-called “progressive judges” who are soft on violent crime
What happened to Air America anyway? ...oh yeah ... Bankrupt ...could be a metaphor ...;)
Vote !!!…Its not about Political Parties, Its about the issues... Its up to us... And God help us !
I see from this that things are a mess in your country too, Edwin. This is a powerful and important message. Thank you for sharing it. Love and peace to you,

Beautiful, Edwin! Each voice does count. From local issues to our nation’s leaders, voting is one of the most important things that we as citizens can do!
"Vote !!!…Its not about Political Parties,

Everything you just mentioned in my opinion will come back to devestate us if the Dems. get re-elected. But they all have thier share of blame. Nicely done. I worry more right now about our safety and the Dems. Simply are not a war party. I like Joe Lieberman. He is one Dem. that stands his ground NOT his political party. Your poem brings to light the need to vote, regardless of which party you lean to.

My beloved Eddy, I'm not a political creature and don't pretend to know too much about American politics (yet) but I agree with the premise of this poem. People need to make an informed decision when they cast their vote. It's not about loyalty to a particular political party or even about any one individual, it is about core issues. Good thought-provoking write.

Point well taken and I hope we start to listen to this kind of a voice of reason. It is time we use the vote the way it was intended as the voice of the common man.
