Tommorow is election day!
First I want to briefly talk about the election. This is the first time me and my husband will have ever voted. Last election I was disgusted... this year I got motivated. I have to honestly say that The Daily Show has been part of my motivation. It got me interested in politics.
Pretty much right off the bat I was interested in Kerry. I wouldn't say I am 100% behind the man, but I never liked how bush and his team seem to like to make laws that change the constitution or effect it in ways I don't like. I particularly didn't like bush's want to create of gender-biased marriage laws. I just think if people aren't hurting people, leave them the heck alone and let them do as they please. I believe in FREEDOM above all things.
I think both men are very guilty of flip-flopping, and both men are guilty of skewing the facts.. but I still like Kerry better. I don't care for Edwards at all. Simply based on how he brought up the whole Chaney's daughter thing, I thought that was soooo crass. Believe it or not, no one I know in my family knew about this daughter.. if you ask me he hurt their campaign when he said that. Then he said some stuff that contradicted the fact that I thought they didn't mind gay/lesbian marriages. I have to say all that really pissed me off. FLIP FLOPPERS! So I dislike Edwards, but I also dislike chaney so what's new.
I have been AMAZED by all the anti-bush/pro-Kerry people we have here in the knitting blog world. It makes me feel less alone because most people don't tell you who they are voting for.
Anways.. GO VOTE! I don't care who ya vote for just vote!! TOMORROW! YEAH!

On the knitting front I really want to cry. I messed up cozy, I don't know when I did it, but I did.. somehow I have less stitches.. fitz's first sleeve is half done. I really hated knitting last night (*gasp*), it's just so dang hard sometimes! Its not that it's hard to do, just hard force yourself to keep going after you royally screw yourself.

I'm glad so many people are hyped up to get out the vote this year.
I hope you don't mind that your Secret Pal tends to lean towards the conservative (republican) side of the issues - I promise, I won't taint you! We are all entitled to our own beliefs - that's what makes the USA great.
P.S. Loved your Halloween Costume.

Oh I totally don't mind if my SP3 is republican! hehe.. it's all good to me.. we all have to pick one or the other and they are so very close in so many ways.. yet not in others..
I just don't like when people tell me I'm wrong and demand that I am wrong and yell at me telling me why i am wrong. Doesn't really make the case or make me want to change my vote. I like nice, logical and respectful conversations and I am always open to the other side. Being narrow minded and close minded isn't a good way to learn new things! I'm always pleased when someone actually picks a side, I find it so difficult to do so :(
