My wife and I went to the polls today thinking of all the different variables before us in regard to the presidential candidates and what they say they will do for America if elected. Our concern is not for us personally but for the future of our country and our offspring.

Many of us in America have a distaste for politicians and government. That would be me and I flat don’t trust them and for good reason. I’m sure the future of America is in jeopardy if we don’t get some good conservative leadership, I say conservative because the liberal agenda will take our country down for the count. Listening to the Republican candidates that sound like a bunch of school-age kids arguing is not very reassuring, but all of them know that if we don’t slow down this runaway train we are not going to make the corner ahead.

I had the chance to hear a little debating between Hillary and Bernie that was scary to me with free schooling, free medical, free everything? Where is this money coming from? America is not only broke but in deep debt and not trying to curb its spending habit but spending more money they don’t have. In addition they not only promote decaying moral values, but they advocate them.

Between the same-sex marriage issues, and the special GLBT rights offered to the liberals we are in deep trouble. And most of these same people can’t wait for their chance to vote for Hillary or Bernie. It must have something to do with the free stuff that they are going to be getting, they must still be drinking the Obama Kool-Aid. Whether you have a religious background or not, maybe some spiritual convictions will be adequate for the job. Take the time and say a prayer for the recovery of America, it’s still the best place on the planet.

And poor leadership will be the end of her, we already tried the Hope and Change how’s that working for you Kool-Aid drinking liberals? And we not only tried it once, but we tried it twice. How stupid was that, and the same thing got the votes then [free stuff]. Let’s get a president like John Wayne or Clint Eastwood, someone with teeth that’s not concerned about being politically correct and isn’t afraid to get rid of a bunch of government that isn’t working. We have too many stupid government agencies in America that drain the coffers and don’t benefit the people in any way. Any of our Republican candidates are better than the other option, hopefully the pendulum hasn’t swung too far to correct this mess. The messiah probably couldn’t do anything in Washington, D.C., with all the corruption and self-serving politicians.
