Where Do I Fit In? A Political Moderates Point of View

30 Oct

I’m actually still undecided.  I dislike both candidates equally but that doesn’t really matter.  They are simply pawns in their parties political games and potential gains.  So, the real question is, which PARTY do I vote for.  Does this description of my view hit home with any of you?  I’m republican…wait, I’m democrat, wait, I’m republican….I’m really on the fence.  What it comes down to is what is going to be best for my family for the next 4 years.

My Rant…..

I’m not Christian but I believe you should (Christian or Not) be able to pray when ever you want so long as you are not forcing your religion onto others.  I respect all religions.  My best friend is a hard core Christian conservative and we get along grand because we respect each others feelings and beliefs.

I don’t agree with abortion however, I don’t agree with telling a women what she can and can not do with her body.

I am all for gay marriage.  I want gays to be able to adopt children that have NO loving and caring homes.  Why should somebody’s sexual preference decide and perhaps deprive a young innocent child the opportunity for a happy and loving life?  There are plenty of heterosexual homes that are so twisted and causing permanent mental and physical damage to young children.  What makes anybody think this is better than a child being raised by a gay couple?  Because YOU think it’s not right because of what your religion tells you?  Don’t judge and don’t deprive any child their right to pursuit happiness and to live a life that is constructive to the strength of our community, our nation or world!

Now here comes the republican in me….

I believe in making people work for their money and stricter updates from these families on how they are actually spending my money…excuse me, OUR money.

We must create new jobs.  period.  If we raise taxes on small business owners or Obamacare pulls into full effect, we will see more job losses.  I don’t think people understand what Obamacare will do for businesses.  You know businesses, the entities that create jobs?  The exact jobs that give medical benefits.  Now, medical benefits is spiraling into shit for all that we need to get under control…how do we do that?  What I do know is that we won’t even have the resources to address the issue unless we stop throwing money away.

To achieve all of the public policy issues I feel so strongly about we need a balanced budget.  Continuing to give away money with out proper public record of it’s detailed use is not how that is going to happen.  I understand the concept of spending money to make money.  I don’t understand the concept of throwing away money to make money.

In order to prepare for a better future, we must live in the now.  If we do not do this, my children will not have a sound place to live.  That is unacceptable.  Well, maybe I just answered my own question.

I’m an not political and I know I am ignorant about a lot of this but as a Mommy, I need to see security in my Children’s’ future.  That is my most important job here on earth.  I don’t necessarily see one election securing their future but it is very important.

Obama scares the shit out of me because I question his competency, character and motives.  Romney scares the shit out of me because I question his character and the fact that he is so damn Christian.  I worry that an era of intolerance of religion and sexual orientation may begin and hate will increase as respect is lost for other beliefs.

I know this has nothing to do with fitness but as a Mommy and business owner of a fitness business this is all very very relevant to me and my family.  Please, give me your feedback.  Rather you are Republican or Democrat I want to hear your thoughts.  Maybe you can teach me a thing or two.  However, if you are disrespectful of other peoples’ beliefs, I will hunt you down and teach you a thing or two.
