Democrat? Republican? Who knows? All I know right now is that all the important men in my life for the past 18 years are definately Republican; which made me think that I was too. Well, recently, a very good friend and I were talking about politics and I said I was Republican. Of course, because I wouldn't vote for Hillary or Obama in fear of being rejected by all the important men in my life (plus, the fact that I don't like what they are campaigning). So, I was shocked to hear Alysia tell me that I tended to live more of a Democratic lifestyle. Hu? Well, I do kinda like equality here, ya know. Does that make me a Democrat then? I think I need to be a grown-up before I vote. Honestly, I think I at least want to be Republican.
Yesterday, Madeline and I got to meet Senator Hillary R Clinton in town. She was a couple miles from the house at a local produce market. Evidently, a couple weeks ago, a local orchard crop was destroyed by a hail storm. I had no idea, even though I was home the day it supposedly happened. It didn't hail at my house.
Regardless of the fact that I wouldn't vote for her, I still thought it would be neat to see Hillary in person. Kudos to her for attempting a run in the Presidency. Too bad she has screwed up education so bad and was planning to mess up the health care system as well. Otherwise, I probably would have voted for her. I think it would be awesome to see a woman president.
Madeline was too cute about being there. She thought it was pretty cool that she might end up on the local news (we were front row, waiting on her to arrive). Oh, and Lori... I did some advertising for your family farm while we were there. I was wearing my C******* produce shirt because it was what I wore when we picked strawberries earlier in the morning. (The whole reason she was in town was because of farm issues). Not very many other people were dressed up so it wasn't like I stood out looking like a bum. I didn't even know about the visit until about an hour before.
For the record, since I'm not sure what party I belong to yet, I wont be voting out of loyalty. But just incase you're wondering... I'm not impressed by either.

If you live in my house you must be Republican. I don't follow politics very closely, but I for sure wouldn't want Hillary as president. Obama? I'm sure I will end up voting republican. Although, Todd says that the Democrats seem to have better ideas regarding immigration regulations, but I'm sure all the other stuff is enough to keep him republican.
I think I'm squarely Independent much to Derrick's dismay. Or maybe they call that a left-leaning Republican? I don't know who I'm voting for either.
And, look at you, blogging out of the blue! I thought you'd quit! OK, better get back to studying, you! :)
I am always just so - "in the middle" would make it easier - but a pro-life, environmentalist, anti-death penalty, gun-rights, school choice, social-action person really has no party.... Not one I've found, anyway!
I still wish Colin Powell would run or Storming Norman. As for me with my last name, how could I be anything but a Democrat. I was raised in by two strong Democrats too. (I don't want to mention my last name on the blog.)
Interesting blog... I almost missed the part about you getting to meet Hillary, did you talk to her or shake her hand? Did Madeline get a hug? Either way, I think I'm not going to vote. I don't like our options.
You guys have to vote republican. By not voting at all because you dont like the options is as good as voting for Obama, And you dont want to let him win! So you have to vote republican, just because its better then the other, (sorry Tina) I dont like Obama though.
I keep checking hoping that you've added a new posting. No execuses now as school is over.
Looking forward to seeing you and Madeline when Diane and I visit next month.
