How cool is that? “He never told me how to vote, but that I must vote.”

How cool is that?

I've been voting now for 46 years. The first time was the year I turned 18. Dad, a construction worker, got up early in the morning and woke me up to be at the polls at 6am, so we could vote before he went to work. He was always very serious about our right and responsibility to vote in every election. He never told me how to vote, but that I must vote. This year things have evolved that I never thought would happen in my lifetime--but it's exciting. I've listened to Obama. He appears to have the honesty and integrity that we sorely need in Washington, however, because of his stand on the value of human life and what I consider immoral, (homosexual lifestyle), I will not be able to vote for him. Personally, I feel if a person doesn't have the same conviction about human life that I have, how can he or she be trusted to "do the right thing" for me and my family? As you know, I am totally committed to my Christian values, and he doesn't support them in the way I would want the president of my country to do. But I do commend him for the way he is conducting his campaign--he has taken the higher road. And it is exciting to see not one, but two candidates on the primary ballot that I never expected to see--a black person, and a woman. Exciting times. I heard Obama this morning (Wednesday) on the Today Show on NBC. His comments were note worthy and insightful. Your comment about adults have temper tantrums is right on. And what Geraldine said, sounds like jealousy. Matt, I’m also glad to see so many people supporting the right to vote this year. I’ve been voting now for 46 years.

This year things have evolved that I never thought would happen in my lifetime–but it’s exciting. I’ve listened to Obama. He appears to have the honesty and integrity that we sorely need in Washington, however, because of his stand on the value of human life and what I consider immoral, (homosexual lifestyle), I will not be able to vote for him.

jealousy.
