My household income is above $100,000 per year, and while I don't know the president, I did go on a vacation with some personal friends of his from Texas. I got an invitation to a Republican fund raiser. ($1200 per plate! Yeah, right! I've eaten in nice restaurants, but none that upon finishing my meal made me proclaim that it was worth $1200! Besides, I'm not even a registered Republican!!!)

I consider myself quite common. This morning, I got up, let the dogs out, fed the dogs, let the dogs back in, took a shower, got my daughter ready for preschool, took her to preschool, ran to the post office, worked out, cleaned house, and will be picking my daughter up in less than an hour. This afternoon, I will take my child to the grocery store (oh the joys of taking a toddler to the grocery store!).

All of this and I don't feel any love from Bush either. I don't know the man, and probably never will. My father is a die-hard Democrat. He has always believed that the Democrats are "for" the working man. He has told me on several occasions that Ronald Reagan was the worst president America has ever had. (Personally I disagree, but he's my dad so I keep my mouth shut out of respect.) I tend to agree with Reagan on one of his opinions. When asked what the best social plan was, he said that people should get a job.

Also, I live in Indiana. We are a red state and have been for a long time. (I've only checked back as far as Nixon because he was president when I was born. Not that it matters.) However, we have had Democratic governors for a long time. (Not now, though.) We are kind of the Cybil of states! While some are staunch supporters of particular parties, most that I know are really about voting their conscience.

It's all about choices. EVERYONE should try to familiarize themselves, as much as possible, with the candidates running for office and VOTE!!! I'm so tired of hearing how the state of America is the government's fault! We should be more responsible for ourselves. Voting is a way to be responsible.

'nuff said. I run the risk of making sense if I continue!!! LOL
