Married Leos

watching the politicians running for be president in 1977, although back then I knew very little about politics I sat and listened to what was going on. Now I was only 12 at this time so I was not able to vote, but I do remember wanting Jimmy Carter to win, he looked like a down to earth kind of guy, he had that “twang” in his voice and perhaps that was why I wanted him to win, remember I was only 12.  I don’t remember my parents ever talking in front of me about politics, but I do remember my grandfather always saying that politicians can not be trusted.  I also remember being excited when Jimmy Carter did in fact beat Ford, and with this excitement it drew me to become interested in what was going on with the way our Nation was being run.  It was sad for me to see Carter not win a second term, but I was willing to see what this new president was all about. Needless to say I did not like him, for it was him who increased the national debt which we have never really recovered from( remember Regan-nomics?), so many businesses were forced to close their doors (gee are we reliving the past?). So when he was running for a second term I was determined NOT to vote for him.  Unfortunately he won a second term, well one thing was for sure we would get rid of him in four years. However when those four years were over and we were once again choosing our next president I thought to myself, whomever is elected cannot be worse than Regan, Damn was I wrong! Once again another Republican was elected, of course not by me.  I guess he won because of his famous words that later would bite him in the ass. Do you all remember what they were? I sure do. “Read my lips, no more new taxes”.  According to history books and the Discovery Channel the government spent more money than it earned while he was president! I relly do not know how the hell he could get away with this but he did. When it was yet election time again  many people were tired of the lies that were told to them, and I like I did they voted for Clinton.  His mistake besides his flings in the oval office? Trying to clean up the messes of the last two presidents all at once. He wanted to be the “Hero” and fix all the mistakes that were made. Now of course I am not proud of what he did in the oval office and being lied to once again by other president, but he didn’t lie to us about what he was trying to do for our Nation, he lied about what he was doing behind closed doors. Now, honestly I believe that if it were a Republican instead of a Democrat with the flings going on those would have been covered. I can bet my last dollar on it. But hey we voted for him for another four years. But I think that with the scandal, once again people were torn as to how to vote in 2001.  Bush was no better than his father, same shit by the Bush’. I strongly believe that votes were not counted correctly when it came to Bush’ re-election. (my opinion). So here we go again with another Bush in the White House (just f______wonderful). It has been said that he will go down in history as the worst president we have ever had. Trillions of dollars that he spent without a blink of an eye, and yes Wall Street is also to blame but his hands are just as dirty, we are now living in a depression that will only get worse before it gets better.  It is clear to me now that ever since the 70’s I would be a Democrat, not one Republican ever gave me a good reason to vote for them, and seeing the past Republicans work in office I feel that we the people deserve better than what we have been dealt in the past.  We now come to the newest President, whom already has been bashed by people, we have had eight years of bullshit, our government has no money and yet people have the nerve to bash the new guy coming in. I don’t remember ever reading about any other President winning 7 states from the other political party as Obama has. He has is work cut out for him that’s for sure, no thanks to the last 3 Republican Presidents. He will be criticized each time he sneezes the wrong way, people are going to be listening to every snore and bashing him if he snores the wrong way. And of course people will be waiting for him to fail, so that they can laugh in his face and call him a failure all the while these same people were apparently blind when Regan, George H. W. Bush and his son ran our country. Perhaps these people were not affected by the tax hikes by these guys, but one day it will hit them and they will know how people felt at one time.  Yes I voted for Barrack Obama, not because he is a Democrat, not because he is black but because this Nation, our Nation deserves a different road to go down, and Obama has promised that change. I just hope that people give him a chance to prove himself, he can’t be any worse than Bush. Hell itis only right to give him a chance, we all gave these knuckle heads in the past a chance and all they did was screw us in the end.

Back when the debates were going on last year I sat and watched and of course listened to each candidate and one of my girls asked what was going on and I told her that these people wanted the biggest job in the world, they wanted to be President of the United States of America,  she sat and watched with me and towards the end of one of the debates she said ” I want Obama to win”, I was surprised that she would even be interested in this kind  of stuff seeing that she is only 6, I asked her why she would say that and she responded, “because the other one is to old to be president”. I laughed at her innocence and gave her a kiss. Maybe she will be like her mother, at a young age not understanding what the importance is but making a decision none the less. I cannot wait for each of my children to be able to vote and to see what their political views will be, either way they choose to vote, no matter what their views will be, I will love them no less in fact I will love them more than ever, for standing up for themselves and believing in our Nation.

I received this in an email today, thought it good enough to pass along to those who light like it.

It’s like -10 with the wind chill outside and 10 inches of snow on the ground, summer weather, if you are in ANTARTICA!!   I was taking the BIg One to work this afternoon and the little 6 year old girl at the end of the block is outside playing in the snow, WITH HER HAT OFF!!

What is with these parents who let their kids go outside in this weather? Do they not look out and atleast see if they are ok out there?

So here I am calling them all sorts of not so nice names for letting their kids go outside when I open the garage door and what do I see?  The Boy going outside. Urgh. ( insert me shaking head ) Hey he’s 12 and he don’t listen so whatever, I’m not going to baby him when he gets sick.

So what did I do. I told him if it’s not to cold to play then he can finish shoveling the driveway before he plays.

Last year I started watching Two and a Half men on reruns and right away thought it was one of the funniest shows I had ever seen.  It quickly became probably my favorite comedy show.

My DVR cut off the ending of the first episode of the new year, I was pissed but thanks to Facebook and the Two and a Half Men fanclub I got to enjoy it.  In this case it was better late than never.

I have included it below if you care to enjoy for yourself. You will need to sit through a short commercial before it starts. If you have never seen the show, I highly recommend it.
