Democratic process

You know, I’m glad to live in a country where we have more than one choice when it comes to who runs the country. I’m thrilled to have the ability to say what I think about each candidate. What I’m NOT thrilled about is the hate, specifically the hate that’s currently spewing from the conservative right, populated by “Christians”. And yes, I say “Christians” (imagine me making air quotes)… I grew up in a holiness church, went to very conservative Christian schools, and the attitudes these people show is absolutely not the way I was taught that Christ would have his followers behave. It makes me ashamed that I ever associated myself with people like this…

I fail to understand why people stick to the “Obama’s a terrorist. Obama’s a Muslim” routine, even after being proven wrong. I don’t understand why John McCain is supposed to be more patriotic somehow because he was a POW, and therefore more qualified to be president. I don’t understand why the conservative right thinks they have the market cornered on patriotism, love of country, and free speech.

Vote for who you want, but VOTE. Like the ladies over atMOMocrats say, I’m voting for “That One”.
