Stop it! Petty Petty PETTY

Ok, so I indulged in a little political snarkiness with the upcoming election.  The whole stupid- comments-said-by-either-party theme is now officially overkill.  Bored.  NEXT!!!!

Let's get down to what really matters.  One candidate has made it certain through financial actions what he values.  It's obvious women, American middle class, and the environment don't make the list. His memory has the capacity of only four years.  Sorry, but I don't want somebody with the onset of Alzheimers running the country.  Somebody who can't understand history is doomed to repeat it.  Plus, he comes across as a plastic, spoiled, pushy asshole who will trample on anybody to achieve his goal.  He got kind of preachy and 'holier than thou' with his religious bullshit at the end of the last debate.  I wonder if he was wearing the Mormon Magic Underwear? Being this particular candidate hates the government so much AND taxes, AND was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, if he will do the job for free?  Somehow, I'm not holding my breath. 

The other candidate went into this young and naive.  People bought into the dream.  People don't understand the complexity of change and that it can take more than four years.  Implementing change does not happen overnight and we live in an instant-result-quick-fix society.  Is he perfect?  No.  Has he made mistakes?  Yes.  At least he is not an overt asshole. 

People want jobs.  I get that.  Just remember that it's hard to balance what is good for the economy along with what is good for the environment.  The world is changing.  Have you updated your education and skills accordingly?  Are you the kind of person an employer would want to hire?  Are you the type of employer people want to work for?  It all comes down to one simple philosophy -- ALL people want to be treated with respect, honesty, and fairness.  It's not rocket science. 

Presidential Debate 10-16-12

Here's what I got out of tonight's debate:  Romney heard through the grapevine whilst enjoying that foreign trip he's writing off as a business expense that women needed flexible hours.  His "nice guy" gesture was to free them from their job shackles so they could get home to their children to cook dinner.  Wow.

The other social ill that was landed on women's lap was that "two-parent families" were the only way to raise socially responsible children.

Questions:  Does the definition of "two-parent" families include gay marriage?  Does this mean that the family in San Jose consisting of two lesbians who adopted three mentally challenged/deaf children is without merit?

What about husbands who beat their wives and/or kids?  Is it better for women stay in an abusive situation because it is more socially acceptable in Mormon eyes?  In actuality, I think it's because Mitt does not want to see single women coming begging for equal rights and opportunity.  Keep them barefoot and pregnant.....
