So, I'm a McCain/Palin advocate and a fan of the GOP, but there campaign has lost all momentum and I'm worried that they're going to lose to Obama. The Political dashboard is pretty evenly distributed...and it seems that the majority of the lower half our nation stands red and the upper half, which generally constitutes areas with denser populations, stand blue. The red states that lead over Obabma, are red, ...by a considerably large margin. The states that support Obama are generally very close in race. (No pun intended.) I think people are voting for him simply because he's black. His demographic consists of uneducated naive well fair recipients who have no clue what they're in for.
Guilty by association ...that's all this is.
People aren't voting for Jon McCain simply because he's a republican and almost instantaneously people associate his political party affiliation with George Bush. Do your homework. McCain has voted against Bush on countless affairs and will continue to do so until George leaves office by the end of this year. I think he's far more equipped to lead this country then Barrack Obama. You can't deny McCain his credentials. I think the only thing holding him back is Sarah Palin, who's recently taken a brutal media beating by popular personalities like Katie Curic and ...oh shit, what's that one guy's name on ABC?...he's an asshole I know that much. She's NOT a politician, just a gov. of a small state of 600,000 or so. I think she's definitely held her on on this particular branch of the political campaign. She does seem a little naive and ill advised on a few issues, but that's what McCain is for!
On a family news side note, Jason left for North Carolina this morning, just about ten minutes ago actually. He'll be continuing his routine training there until he departs for Afghanistan on November 1st. -Yikes!- Worst has definitely come to worst and my mom was an emotional wreck this morning before leaving for work. Suppose at the end of the day, she should just be proud that we have a family member brave enough to voluntarily enlist in order to help our country.
He'll be acting as a reinforcement for a first string group of marines headed out on the same date. I tried to have him explain it to me, but I found it difficult to follow. Not that I'm uninterested, I just can't seem to grasp the concept altogether. I know that I support him completely. Our relationship has come miles in the last year alone. It would be an ultimate shame to lose him now, after I've waited so long to have the brother I always wanted.
Obviously, Jason won't be home for Christmas, so mom decided it would be a nice gesture to have our Christmas dinner in October while he's still in town to insure his attachment, knowing that it could potentially be his last... Our house was for the mast part, filled with mom's family, given the simple fact that it IS her house...although she did invite Grandma and Grandpa Chin from Dad's side of the family as well. I was definitely proud of her for cooking, an act of motherhood she's been lacking the past....22 years.
It goes without saying that I'm a little bit worried. Although, if this situation were to arrise this side of 5 years ago, my feelings would probably emulate at an attitude of the opposite. I suppose age=maturity. We finally have that brotherly bond I've longed for all these years.
For Christmas....mom bought me the second season of Ugly Betty, a calendar with filled with black and white portraits of picturesque landscapes, and a journal for the year 2009. It was a nice gesture, but I was a little surprised she actually invested in generous gifts for me, given the fact I'm going to actually be here this holiday season. I'm sure she's going through some stressful motions, but my heart is with her, as it is with Jason. I know he's going to do well and come back home to us in early June with more honor and nobility than when he left.
