Three sisters, ages 92, 94, and 96, live together. One night the
96-year-0ld draws a bath. She puts one foot in and pauses. "Was I getting
in the tub or out?" she yells.
The 94-year-old hollers back, "I don't know, I'll come up to see." She starts up the stairs and stops. She shouts, "Was I going up or going down?"
The 92-year-old is sitting at the kitchen table having tea, listening to her sisters. She shakes her head and says, "I sure hope I never get that forgetful", and knocks on wood for good measure. Then she yells, "I'll come up and help both of you as soon as I see who's at the door."

Every four years there is a presidential election, and by
the time it is over, I am so sick of hearing the politicians I could cry.
It seems that all of them promise change, big time change
and will use the buzzwords to try to excite the voters. Of course there is
never any change, except what they leave you in your pockets, or should I say
pocket. “Let’s get big government off our backs, let’s give the government back
to the people, and my favorite: “I will be fully exonerated in a court of law!”

| Clinton |
Recently, if you are alive, you heard that Hillary Clinton
is running for President. She will run as a Liberal, Democrat and woman
candidate to seek the high office. She will undertake the challenge and from
what I hear will be a formidable candidate.
The GOP has been lining up candidates and there are a whole
slew of them to challenge her and try to bring her down, of course.
Hillary’s candidacy has raised a question for me to ask of
you as voters, do you vote strictly on party lines, or do you do it for the
brand, Liberal or Conservative for instance. The reason this comes to mind is
because Hillary is so polarizing that I’m positive most people will vote either
against or for her, without examining her record and thinking about it. This
not to say you should or shouldn’t vote for her. But let’s think a minute about
what we do. We always complain as the electorate that it is the same old same
old in Washington and our state capitol, where nothing ever changes. That is
true, and we blame the politicians for that, yet who puts them there? It is us:
the voters? We vote strict party line, or because someone is black or white, or
liberal or conservative. But what would happen if we ever started to compare
each candidate based on his/her stance on an Issue by issue basis?

If I am dead set against Hillary, without any reason other
than she is a woman, or liberal or Democrat, am I doing this country and myself
a real service and abusing a sacred trust? What if there are more issues I am
in agreement with than not with her, do I vote against my own self-interest?
Believe me, I am not endorsing her, quite the contrary to that notion, but
something lies under all my rhetoric.
Recently I spent a few days with my beautiful granddaughter,
and it occurred to me that she has a future long after I’m gone, and the legacy
I leave her has to be one of truth and care for her well-being. I can’t in all
good conscience vote strictly on labels or likes and dislikes, I have tot think
about her, how honest will my vote be?

| She already has my vote |
Because of the way we affiliate ourselves with political
parties, blanket points of view and acceptance of a package of ideas without
fully considering them, things like Unions have an uncontested hold on voters
and sway things. Party affiliations make for power and strength in both numbers
and money, money leads to more money and that of course leads to more power and
eventually corruption and graph. This in the very end is where we eventually
hear: “I believe I will be fully exonerated in a court of law!”
So what I am asking you to do to change the complexion of
politics is to not recognize party lines and recognize the issues each on their
own merits and then decide which candidate has the best to offer your future
and that of your grandchildren.
