If you live a state which is having elections for state and local officials today, please take the time to vote.

I'd say a bunch of them did.

One doesn't have to wonder much after last evening's results about the message that was sent to the President.

Did a Dem even win last night?

The answer is yes...Bloomberg barely scraped by with a 3rd term as the New York Mayor. All of the true ":power" positions were won by the conservatives, sending a clear message to Obama that American citizens are not too happy about the Fed's continued efforts to take away our individual liberties and other freedoms.

While watching cable news channels, one common issue discussed was nowhere near the number of black or young voters turned out to vote in yesterday's elections. And that hurt Democratic candidates.

I still believe no one should be able to vote while still a high school student living under mommy and daddy's roof. Furthermore, I don't think people should be able to vote for first time until they've been out of high school for four years and through college. If you don't attend college, that's fine. But you can't vote until you've been out of high school four years.

In the presidential election when Barack Obama was elected president, you had all these young people voting for Obama because they thought he was "so hip, so cool." All you heard was Obama had great charisma. He was like a Hollywood movie star or a rock star. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, we sure weren't hearing he'd be a great president.

One of my best friend's since childhood, his son voted for Obama. His reason: "Man, he's cool. This country needed a black man to be president. He can't do any worse than Bush was doing." You could ask him what all Bush had done while in office, and he'd just grin and say "I don't know!" Jeremy's an overall good kid (young man), but he also is of the generation that lets their jeans sag to the point they're about to fall down; and he wears caps turned around backwards. His dad and I will aggravate/tease him and tell him if caps were meant to be turned around backwards, they wouldn't have bill on them. Oh yeah, he and other young people walk around with their tennis shoes untied. But, man, they're cool. HA HA HA HA ... His daddy told him "Son, you trip over your dang shoestrings and fall and break your arm, don't be saying 'Momma, daddy, take me to the emergency room.' " Your mom and I taught you when you were little to tie your shoes.

I've got one nephew, he's 15. He likes to wear his jeans baggy/saggy. But he doesn't wear them like that when he spends the night with me and we'll go out to eat or to the mall or Wal-Mart. I've told him he's not going to walk around continually pulling his jeans up.

Hey "SpeedRacer" and "James K," what's y'all's thoughts on Virginia's newly elected governor?

The age of the voting isn't the problem, 18 years old is fine, the problem is that people won't do any research themselves and make up their own mind about which candidate they feel is best. Instead, they'll let t.v. decide for them. Obama was the media darling last year so the younger people voted for him, that was who they always saw and heard about when the t.v. was on. Same for Clinton when he was on MTV and Aresenio Hall.

And besides, who says Obama is black? Isn't he just as much white? Another false impression forced on us by the media.

   Then what happened during the years of Bush Jrs administration?

 Did people suddenly stop watching TV. or change their viewing habits ?

   I used to vote repulican, but I don't even recognize them anymore.

  Until the republicanss quit blaming convenient scapcoats and look at themselves they'll stay a minority party. The people haven't left them, they've left the people.

Awwww stop complaining Tom...I know why you're left anyway...cos that's the way ya have to turn on most race tracks.

Hehe..."tain't" nuttin like a lil politics to get everyone's blood warmed up! The righties blame the lefties and the lefties blame the righties. The Independents sit back and wait on who's blowing up the other during the campaigns and jump on the bandwagon, and the libertarians are still trying to figure out why we even have an income tax at all.

The righties think you're smart enough to "git er dun" on your own, and the lefties think there's no way you could survive in this mad, mad, mad, mad, world without them to "help ya out", even though every liberal socialist nation in existence has proven that you can't spend yourself into prosperity, even after stealing every bit of their country's GNPs' to get there...they're all still wayyyyyy behind the US of A where it counts, particularly with regards to quality of life and health...

...speaking of health, I read today where the proposed National Health Care plan's "high risk patients" program (those are folks that are really, really sick with cancer, ALS, and other horrible diseases for those of you in Rio Linda) will only have to wait 6 months after they get canceled by their private carrier to continue with treatment...DANG ain't that just cool!? If I have me some stage 5 colon cancer all I gotta do is wait a half a year after being dropped from my "real" healthcare company to get ObamaCare?! Well golly gosh darn it...I can stick it out that long...WHAT A DEAL!!!! Kinda like buying a new Toyota..."OH WHAT A FEELING"!!! They're worried cos they only set aside 5 bil for it...well DUH DUH DOI DOI...that should be more than enough sice they'll all be d-e-a-d dead by then.

The bottom line is that email I got today from a really good friend of mine seems more "spot on" than ever...here it is:
