ramblings

I don't think that I'm voting for our next president. I know that this is my second post and it may be a little early to get political, but if I don't start now it will be stale before I really get going. I will be voting for state elections (those that I know about) and I will be voting for or against various questions. I just can't see how I can win with the presidential election. I am pro-life and I will not apologize for it. I refuse to judge another's actions as I have never walked in their shoes, but my beliefs remain what they are, and they are integral to how I vote. I am also confused as to what Obama actually stands for. I have heard everything from "he's a socialist" to stories about him turning water into non-fat lattes. Who am I to believe? I am also concerned with the fact that he's a closet smoker...I mean if you're going to do it, be open about it.
On the other hand, I feel like McCain is so far removed from my life that he cannot understand my plight. He actually thinks that giving everyone five thousand dollars to pay for health insurance is a good idea...that would buy my family less than three months of health insurance. I have a son with Autism and he sees specialists all the time. No one knows what causes Autism or why and so there are literally thousands of treatments and theories out there that aren't paid for by insurance. My wife and I pay a lot out of pocket, (with help from our families) and that is a heavy burden to bear. I am uncomfortable voting for a man who's "money problems" consist of what denominations to roll in before bed.
Wow...I sat down to write about how pretty the trees were when I was outside today. I am nothing if not distractable. Goodnight faithful readers.
