Prejudice

Unfortunately, Rosie, prejudice lurks here. Ugly fact. That said, who knows what will be the deciding factor in this election? We certainly do not have much to choose from. Race seem to be the least important of all factors. None of the candidates will fully answer questions put to them, all hedge and avoid direct answers. Sara, I'm against abortion also. But, it is a big business and not likely to be eliminated as long as big business is a prime factor in our government. How many candidates from both parties have run at every level saying they oppose something and do nothing about it when elected? We do not get the person we elected as they change once in office. 17 people lobby compared to each elected official right now in Washington. They have huge power. Before this administration, I believed Congress was the key. But the Cheney/Bush combo has appropriated so much power and done so much wrong to our country, they've proven me wrong. Perhaps that will change with the elections. I doubt they will be held accountable for their crimes: Halilburton, for instance with no bidding and stealing millions of dollars - declaring war on a country not involved in 9/11 - not providing a proper level of care for returning injured military - giving this bailout to big business and allowing CEOs to profitwhen their greed caused the problem. One can follow liberal or conservative tv and continue to believe what they want, which most of us do. Or, they can research and learn what is happening, which most of us don't do. Once again, I will vote for the person who appears to be the lesser of two evils. And, I may be wrong. That has happened before. We live in a great country, which should be greater. We were founded on morals which seem to have gone astray as we reach for power and money. I wish one of the two candidates could turn that around. Please forgive my run on sentences and opinions. As, they are just that, my opinions. Thank God we live in a place where we can think and speak our beliefs.
