Voting Red or Voting Blue?

Well it's FINALLY here! In the words of Connan 'O Brien, "This election has been going on since 1971." Feels like it anyways. To start out with, just let me say I don't like either canidate. They are both much too liberal for my taste. Though, in reviewing what each stands for and knowing what our church believes, I feel I have made the correct choice. Also, I think it is not a good thing for our country to be lead by all one party. And seeing as how the Senate and The House are both democrats, that strengthens my feelings.

If you know anything about Ryan you know he is very passionate about politics. So, as you can imagine during this historic election year, we have had some very colorful conversations. I was watching Oprah the other day and of course she and her liberal guests were talking about how emotional they were when they went to vote. That made me laugh, if you are getting emotional about voting you are voting for the wrong reasons. I was briefly writing to Dusty about the highlights of the election the other day, and his response was (keep in mind he is on that 'missionary high' right now) "Well, it would be great if Obama won because that just brings is closer to the second coming, and Joseph Smith's prophecy is coming true!; I can't wait!" Funny Dusty, always looking at the glass as half full.

On another political note, I recommend everyone to go and rent, "Expelled." It is a documentary by Ben Stein( the mono-tone teacher from the wonder years), on 'Creationism vs. Evolution.'

I'm not someone who likes to watch or listen to things that are educational, but it was soooo well done! Go get it tonight, pop some popcorn, and cuddle with your hunny. Its a good one!

If you haven't yet, I encourage everyone to get out and vote!

In the words of Ben Franklin, " Our constitution was made for a righteous and moral people. It is completly use-less to any other kind."

Aw, thank you for lightening the mood. And send my love to Dusty for his most encouraging words for the future of our country. I wasn't emotional about voting, but I was emotional about the aftermath. Roger and his family still won't shut up about me crying because Obama is president.

Yes, but are you crying because you are happy or sad? McCain may have lost, but at least we can comfort in the fact that we are not hyprocites, right?
