So am I! That's right. I'm Republican. Go Elephants!
I've noticed, while touring the blogosphere, that it's not really a popular thing to be. That's one of the things I've never understood, actually. I don't know anyone who's nervous to admit they're a Democrat. What's the deal with that?
Since I'm coming out anyway, I'll give you a little flash of my views. You may not agree with them, but that's the great thing about living in America. First Amendment, baby!
- I believe abortion is wrong. There are some cases where it would be acceptable, but only with deep thought and prayer on the mother's part. Every baby should have a chance to live.
- I believe that less is more when it comes to government. Less taxes, less interference, and for Pete's sake, less spending!
- I believe marriage is sacred and should only be between one man and one woman.
- I believe that everyone should work to support themselves, and that people who are successful shouldn't be punished with higher taxes (I'm talking to you, Mr. Obama!)
- I believe in free enterprise and small business. The government should stay out of it.
- I believe that all people deserve freedom, and that it's the responsibility of the strong to protect the weak.
- I believe that Toby Keith has as much right to say that America will "put a boot in your ass" and the Dixie Chicks do to say they're ashamed of their President. And I don't think that makes Toby an ass, I think it makes him patriotic.
- I believe that this election year, we're pretty much screwed either way. I respect John McCain for his service to his country, but I'm not a fan of his politics. However, I'm voting for him because a vote for McCain is a vote against Obama, and he scares me. Say no to Socialism!

Guess what...I'm republican too! And I understand what you mean about it not being "the cool thing". Everyone I work with talks about Obama and how great he is (granted I am in CA which is more democratic), but I just don't agree. One girl was a huge Hillary fan, and when I told her that Jared and I joked about moving to Canada if she got elected she was just shocked that anyone would be against her! And I do agree that McCain isn't my favorite, but he still gets my vote this year. Also, I'm sending you a funny email about the whole redistribution of wealth thing... :)
Me, too! And why is it that it is so terribly "wrong" to voice a conservative point of view. I find it amazing that those who live and die by the idea of "tolerance" are very intolerant of anyone who opposes their political point of view.
OK. That is the funniest cartoon ever. Wow. Love it.
Yea, whatever. You just want the guy in the linen closet.
