[Mr. 16 gauge]

Don't let it get to you.....it's just politics, and it's not worth the hypertension and a stroke.

I listened to Obama's speech today re: change in immigration policy. He talked about the great things immigrants have brought to this country.....can't disagree with that, but what he has FAILED to address is that no one is against LEGAL immigration; it's the illegal ones that are the danger (esp. since they now may have terrorist ties).

I don't think any politician gets it anymore.....the idea of serving in political office was suppose to be an honor and duty, not a means of lining your pocket or 'making your party look good".

I have voted for the Libertarian in the last several elections, simply because I feel that they are one of the few parties that are in touch with the real will of the people, for the most part. I have been told that "I wasted my vote" because they had NO chance of winning.....I didn't know that this was just a high school election! I thought we were suppose to elect the best person for the job! Maybe if more people would bother to study what the candidates have to say, or better yet, press them as to HOW they intend to change things, we might get a better system of government.

But until that happens, I don't think things will get better; I do not remember America ever being this polarized between the two major parties.

....and to those who told me I 'wasted' my vote: My reply was plain and simple.....The only vote that is 'wasted' is the one that is not cast!
