4 more years?

Hi!

So, I was watching some of the Convention tonight and I watched a little of the Democratic one a few weeks back. Here's what I've been thinking. Now, I know that you have all read about my internal struggle with my conservative lifestyle versus my liberal humanitarianism. (Is that even a word?! I think so, but I probably spelled it wrong!!) That's really what my decision boils down to. I have come to the general conclusion that the Republican Party is a little more self-driven when it comes to things involving other nations. It's all about protecting and improving ourselves. We went to war to protect America, the fact that we helped Iraqi people was a bonus not an intent. That... I don't like. However, the Republican party also seems to be the people who will stand up for what this country was built on. God and the stable faith foundation that He creates. That... I do like. Ok, now for the Dems. Well, Democrats are more willing to share the wealth. They (seemingly) make most of their decisions based on the best thing for everyone involved.... which I like. But on the contrary, Democrats also seem to be very willing to adhere to whatever happens to be the most popular current opinion. That whole wishy-washy dance around the true answer game gets real old, real fast. That... I don't like. Then there is the whole Education issue. I have come to realize that our sitting Prez doesn't have a real firm grasp on what's best for this country's future leaders (aka: the kids!), but I'm not really picking up the vibe that our possible future Prez gives a horse's hoo-ha about it either. Maybe it's not a priority now considering the circumstances on the other side of the world... but those old, quickly graying men won't be around forever, and who do they think will eventually hold the power to find a solution to that ever-increasing circumstance??

Anyway, I guess it just boils down to the lesser of two evils. You can't really win much in a game that is predicted to be lose/lose. As for me, I'm not sure. I have keep (and by keep, I mean start) researching about what these political goons are really about and hopefully make my decision by Election Day. If I had to vote tonight, however, I'd mark my card with a W.

Ok, well I think that's the end of tonight's entry. I want to get to playing some guitar before I head to bed. I have been so wrapped up in my internship I can't even tell you the last time I just played. I've been playing songs like "Take me out to the ballgame" and "Let me call you sweetheart" for so long, I have forgotten what it feels like to just sit and create. I'm ready to do some solitary worship and just write down my thoughts the best way I know how.... in song!!

Sing me to Heaven,
