Overload...
Well, the election is over but... man, I'm still on current events overload. This election cycle was my official political birth so to speak. Yes, I've voted for years and all that but never been as tuned in to what is going on in the whole world as I am now. And boy is it S-C-A-R-Y.
I truly believe the wrong guy got elected. But at the same time I understand it may be God's will... a part of the plan. If you look at prophecy... SO many things going on right now could be classified as fulfillment of prophecy, especially end times.
I urge you to become aware and keep up with what's going on all around us as a nation and in the world. Be aware and prepared and remember our leaders, country and the world in your prayers.
I honestly don't see how our country comes out of this one still the same as when it was founded. I believe extremely harsh and difficult days are ahead. Personally, I am continually looking at opportunities and options with a different set of eyes in preparation for what may be coming.
It's a heavy undertaking and heavy emotionally and spiritually. But I don't think all our good days are gone either. We do have to keep on living and doing what we're here to do and enjoy ourselves along the way.
As my good friend "Bro. Tim" said... we have to get busy living the lives Jesus saved us to live.
Truer words never spoken...

Do Not Elect a Job KILLER
Now I remember why I voted for Mitt Romney in the primaries...
Romney: Obama Would Kill Millions of Jobs
Thursday, October 30, 2008 3:11 PM
By: Ronald Kessler
In the final days of the campaign, John McCain needs to emphasize that Barack Obama would kill millions of jobs, Mitt Romney tells Newsmax.
“It’s too late in the process to be unveiling new initiatives,” Romney says. “Instead, you focus on the consequences of an Obama presidency and the benefits of a McCain presidency. And frankly, in my lifetime, I don’t recall a more anti-job program than Barack Obama’s.”
McCain’s program creates jobs, Romney says, while Obama’s shrinks them.
“My own view is that’s the message in the last days. Boil it down in a way that people understand,” Romney says. “You don’t have to go through all the differences and the details. The headline is: Barack Obama will kill millions of jobs in America; John McCain will create millions of jobs in America.”
While the economic crisis has hurt McCain’s chances, “What caused this downturn was profligate borrowing in the mortgage market,” Romney observes. “And who’s been pushing that? Democrats and a lot of Republicans. And then, when it came to regulate that borrowing, Republicans wanted to regulate it and reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Democrats said no, just hand out the money. That’s what caused this downturn.”
In fact, “Republican Senator John Sununu of New Hampshire authored a bill to rein in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; Democrats blocked it,” Romney says. “This is Barney Frank trying to do the old two-step. This is the guy that led the charge to hand out mortgage money to people who couldn’t afford to pay. And it’s caused the crisis that we’re seeing. It’s just easy to say blame George Bush, and that’s what the Democrats are doing.”
Obama’s program would kill jobs because it would raise taxes on companies and entrepreneurships that create jobs, Romney says.
In addition, “Putting a penalty on employers that don’t provide a government-approved healthcare program kills jobs,” he says. “The card check program to unionize small business kills a lot of jobs, permanently. And John McCain’s program creates jobs.
“He lowers taxes on employers to create incentives to add jobs. He puts in place a healthcare plan that lets individuals buy their own insurance and keeps the burden off employers. And he invests in truly becoming energy independent, which lowers our energy prices and makes it more attractive to do business in this country.”
Romney has been campaigning for McCain and he’s also been campaigning for 28 congressional candidates, five U.S. Senate candidates, and two gubernatorial candidates.
Formed in April, Romney’s Free and Strong America PAC has donated $202,000 to 75 GOP candidates. He’s made another $173,000 in donations through his affiliated state PACs, including to the National Organization of Marriage in California to pass Proposition 8 and to an effort to stop a ballot initiative in Massachusetts to decriminalize marijuana use.
In all, financial support through Romney-controlled state and federal PACs has totaled $375,000.
Asked whether he would run for the presidency again, Romney says, “As you know, politics is a lot about timing; and when the window opens, you either step through or you decide not to. Well, the window opened for me, I stepped through, I got on the stage, battled hard, but I lost fair and square. And looking down the road, it’s hard to imagine the window opening again. But you know, time will tell.”
In the meantime, Romney is going on a whirlwind tour in the final days of the campaign.
“I think this is an absolutely critical time for our country, so all the team is pulling on the oars as hard as we can,” Romney says. “I’ve seen John McCain come from behind before, and it was in the race where he was running against me and Fred Thompson and Rudy Giuliani. He surprises folks. There’s not a lot of time to go, but I don’t count this race over yet.”

"Musings on Politics from a Pop Culture Girl"
POSTED BY MEGHAN
When I started the Blogette last year, I wanted to show people what happens behind the scenes in a national campaign. I did this because I love my family and I knew that it might surprise people to see how normal this experience can be. I know this has been a difficult campaign for a lot of people. I know there are many who just want to get past the last eight years. And I know there are people who are so desperate for change they will do anything to get what they think is a better deal.
I make no excuses for the state of politics today. But I want everyone to know that my dad is more than ready to be the President this country needs right now. Everyone always assumed Iraq would be this campaign's number one hurdle. The only thing I respect more than people's opinions about how to proceed in Iraq are the men and women who are bravely serving our country in harm's way every single day. My Dad is the only candidate with real military experience who has the support of an overwhelming majority of current service members. And if you really want to know how much I trust him, remember that I have two brothers who are serving, one of whom is about to redeploy. Of course, all of this is easy to miss, because this election is clearly about moving past the current administration and fixing the economy.
If you honestly think someone with extremely limited experience will solve the severe problems we have in this country then, by all means, vote for Senator Obama. If you want to give complete control of our government to the Democrats who have made a real mess of things over the last two years they've controlled Congress, then go ahead and vote for Senator Obama. And, if you really believe that our taxes should be higher and that government should have a bigger role in our lives, vote for Senator Obama.
Some of you have asked me how I can support my Dad or call myself a Republican when times are so tough, especially since my own personal beliefs don't always sync with the GOP. Well, I have asked myself that same question a lot. But I support my Dad through it all because I know this: my Dad will be unlike ANY other Republican president. My father has the experience, leadership skills, and proven dedication to serve. I only wish people could understand that Dad will bring about the change everyone is so hungry for in a much more real way than Senator Obama could ever possibly hope to do at this stage in his political career.
So, forget everything you've heard or seen. Just know this: everyone wants change. And while some people can only talk about it, my dad will bring it. Don't give up on him. He is never going to give up on you. And by you, I mean every American. Regardless of age, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation or political ideology; a vote for John McCain is a vote to change our country for the better. Don't hope for a better future. Vote for one.

I Don't Understand...
I don't understand why the Attorney General(s) aren't getting involved in all the voter fraud allegations? WE ARE 2 WEEKS AWAY FROM ELECTION PEOPLE!!!
And why does everyone seem to think it's just a "Republican tactic" or "Republican desparation"???? I'm sorry but if you are an intelligent, fair minded, rational AMERICAN of ANY party or affiliation voter fraud should alarm you and concern you and should provoke our leaders to action.
Geez.
