Just because

I have always found that individuals who find the need to constantly define or discuss their position are woefully in need of reassurance in their beliefs.  I find this particularly true in today's political atmosphere. 

Some want to argue that this is an election of the size of government.  Others want to say that this election is based on jobs and other economic factors.  Others just don't like Obama, they will give you a hundred reasons why - his questionable birthplace, not enough info on his educational background, he is uppity...

Here are my thoughts

Those of you that argue we are voting on the size of government find yourself sitting on the same team with those that believe that it is the "right" of a religion to tell you how to live your life, who your friends should be, who you can marry, well you know who and what "they" are. No wonder you are constantly bring up intellectual arguments, you want to demonstrate the difference between you and your new friends. 
Resolution:  You need to get a new party - yours has been contaminated.  

You that argue we are voting on job creation and other economic factors are overlooking that the last four years the US has had had incredible business earnings.  You try to convince yourself and others that the best thing for the good ole US of A is Big Business and that humbling ourselves and bowing down to the Gods of the Fortune 500 will appease them to open up jobs here in the US.  Job creation is a problem of the US educational system - not the political party in power.  The 25% without a high school diploma will not find good jobs in manufacturing and construction as in the past to feed their families.  And many of the Red States that find themselves with high unemployment also have very high high school drop out rates.  Go figure.....

Those that just don't like Obama based on any or all of the above mentioned things,  well I won't waste my energy, please just take me off your email list with your daily dribble of hate. I have lived through eleven Presidents and do not recall ever hearing such hate-filled, mean-spirited discussions.  And they ALL begin with, "I am a social liberal but a conservative voter."    No my friend you are just a racist.

More could follow, but probably won't, I don't need to defend or define my position.  I feel damn good about my beliefs.
