You know, I dont at all dishonor how you feel about Obama but one of the things that bugs me is
everyone says he will take away our guns
that we have to be afraid of socialism
fear that abortions will be ok (they already are people-how many women do get abortion)
I wish I had the money for my own personal healthcare. I did not vote for Obama for that reason, but those of us that have no access to a physician due to lack of finances have a real struggle.
I know this first hand when I was sick this year for months, in serious pain and was under a doctors care 3 months who saw nothing wrong.
The cancer program then kicked me off the program because apparantly i cost them too much money.
it took 2 months of selling my tail off to afford to go to a gyn. It cost $250.
I lived in physical agony for 3 months before I actually had the money to go.
And still did not cure my problem but it was a great start.
I am not a loser! I just cannot afford healthcare and I can pretty damn well take care of most things that come up but this was a huge mystery.
So I can surely see that side. People are sicker than I was and they cannot afford a doctor.
Some of the fears sound like extreme right scare tactics I use to be under that never seemed to really be true.
I am not mocking you mama, but the fears I hear sound so much like the same ole stuff I heard preached for over 20 years through religion.
And often it is just fear...not true motives of the ones they speak out against.
The only fear I had in this election was from what I have already seen in action and it devastated me.
In so many ways.
None of us exacly knows the future.
You know thinking back to Claire talking about Hitler.
About 10 years ago I received an email forward asking me who i woud vote for and they put 3 candidates on this email without who they truly were.
The one I voted for based on my moral code was hitler (unbeknowst to me until after i submitted and got the results)
None of us really knows what is going to happen. How could we. We just make the best choice we can with the information we have.
I feared all those things you said under the republican administration too.
Again alot of this is so local government as each state governs itself on many of these issues. So be a voice there. dont give up what you beleive in despite who is president.
(I am sorry to be a broken record but the presidency is not the end of what you want to fight for)
I do feel Obama will be great.
