7 days left and I can't wait until it is done and over with.
I'm tired of the attacks and especially tired of reading the nasty, vulgar comments that I find on many sites.
I don't know why I have been sucked into reading so much that is out there. Part of it is curiousity ... I'm human. HOWEVER, I feel like I bounce from site to site reading way more than I need to and it really is having a negative effect on me.
Has politics always been this way? I would imagine with the internet, things are way more "in your face". THAT SCARES ME! I think there are a lot of people out there acting and speaking in very sinful ways. What will it be like in the future? Will elections to come get even uglier? I'm sure a lot of the morally reprehensible behaviors (NOW) have a lot to do with the current state of our economy. That doesn't excuse the evil words and actions that so many partake in. People can be so manipulated by the media and because their sensitivities have been numbed ... they don't always think or feel with any sort of conscience.
Lately I have been sad ... really sad :(

You are not the only one consumed with the pending election. Not only do I feel sad like you, I am scared - I'm feeling like our world can be such an evil place, and I wonder what will happen if a certain Democrat gets elected. What will happen then? If we're not standing for our constitution and the most innocent of lives, what has our world become? I worry for our kids, for our grandkids - and how people don't get it is beyond me. I feel like I'm really praying for this election like ALL our LIVES depend on it!
Good post!
Hang in there - 1 more week
And yes, I think it seems uglier because of the Internet. It is another outlet to get information. So many writers are exaggerating positions and fearing things that will never happen. I sometimes don't know if I should laugh or cry. Do you know what I wish? I wish all news sites would turn off the stupid comments on their articles. I'd like to read the news with no comments from the peanut gallery...whichever position they represent. UGH!
Hurry up November 4th and be done with already!
