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 !

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!

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.
