Finally... Political woes... NO PARTY ENDORSEMENT!
Even though I voted almost a week ago, I have been saving my sticker in my wallet so I could wear it tonight. Addie and I are going to Knit Night tonight and I expect Evan to be texting me updates as the polls close.
I have had my suspicions about a family member's political affiliations and it was confirmed when she proudly told me who she voted for. And, needless to say, it was not the same man I voted for. She and I talked (i.e. bickered) about it for a bit. I am cool with the fact that she and I do not agree, but I am not cool about how she goes about it. She admits that she has not watched or listened to the debates, and she has not done anything to look into the issues or to find out if the mudslinging is true. She just kind of hears what she wants to hear and doesn't do any research on her own to see what it true and what is not. And, of course, she refuses to listen to the negative things about her own candidate. Which, sadly, is true of too many voters.
Like I said... I am totally cool with not agreeing with someone. As long as that someone has done their homework and knows what they know to be true and not just some bit they heard here or there. I have people I love and enjoy talking politics with on both sides of the aisle.
I do find myself physically anxious about this election. I am actually getting butterflies in my stomach thinking about what the outcome may or may not be. I have never felt this emotionally involved in an election before. I am going to be like a cat on speed until I know who our next president is going to be.
And, those of you who know me well and know what my convictions are already know who I voted for. So I am not going to get into that.
