I Voted!

Okay so there I was with only seconds to go before I entered the voting booth. I was quickly going over key issues that each presidential candidate stood for. This has not been the easiest decision for me. Nate and I talk about the candidates and their issues and still find it hard to choose. I think both candidates are very great men and who ever wins will do a good job in leading the nation, although one will do better than the other. These are a few of my thoughts...

I agreed with Obama's stance on education, but where will the money come from(which makes me very nervous)? I think McCain is more realistic, but not enough. Education is very important to me.....and this is actually new for me. I always knew education was important, but not how important. I feel like I received a good education although I know it could have been better and much of that is my fault. I don't think I took it serious enough. I had all the great resources I needed and I got good grades, but I did the bare minimum and didn't care if I got anything out of the class as long as a high grade was posted. Well I am afraid Adalie and my other unborn children may not have a great education and I don't want to chance that. I want a President who will work very hard for education and put more money into it.

My thoughts on health care are that we all need it! I have only been without health care in my life for a total of 4 months. I have been extremely lucky! I feel that it is ridiculously expensive to buy private health insurance. McCain will help in the cost of health insurance $2,500 for individuals and $5,000 for families. Obama would offer an income-based federal subsidiary for people who don't get insurance from an employer or qualify for medicaid. With that said I feel there will be quarks in both plans, but that there is a lot of good from the plans.

Abortion on the other hand I have an ABSOLUTE stand on!! I don't believe in it what so ever! I don't care of the circumstances it should never be done! If you are responsible enough to have sex then you are responsible enough to deliver a baby! If you were rapped I am sorry for the tragedy and that you did not have a choice in having sex....even though you didn't have the choice why should you take the choice of a baby to live?!! Yes I call it a baby! When I was only six weeks pregnant with Adalie I went in for an ultra sound and there was a strong healthy heartbeat!!!

As far as war is concerned I don't like it! However, it makes me nervous to just pull out in 16 months. I am afraid that Obama (if elected) will find that it is easier said than done to pull out in 16 months and wash his hands of the mess.

With that said....yes I did VOTE
GO VOTE!
