Welfare is a great talking point for Republicans. “It’s my money and I want to keep it! It’s socialism!” Great. Keep going with that. By the way, do you believe in social security? Do you complain when you receive that check each month? That’s socialism. You should probably return it. An article in TownHall discusses how… Continue reading

Forced Association
Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Gay marriage is not legal! You can’t force me to accept gay marriage, that’s a violation of my Constitutional rights! I have the right to associate or not and I don’t want to associate with those people! I’m certain you have heard those or similar comments at some… Continue reading
Purpose of Marriage

You want a Genuine Candidate? Stop Expecting too Much!
We, as a country, the electorate, have come to expect too much from our elected officials. We expect them to be perfect. We expect our candidates to have lived a life without fault but, of course, with many obstacles so they can relate to the everyday person. This is not reasonable. Why would it be… Continue reading
Swing State Polls
In a poll by Quinnipiac/NY Times/CBS released on September 26, it appears the Romney/Ryan campaign has some ground to make up. Among likely voters, President Obama holds a commanding lead in three key states: Florida (53-44); Ohio (53-43); Pennsylvania (54-42). People were polled September 18-25. One of the most staggering stats, and one Governor Romney… Continue reading
