Should All Political Opinions Be Expressed?
This week I have been reading a lot of the political blogs and just the everyday blogs that all have an opinion to share about the candidates in this election and how and what they think about the whole situation and the consensus seems to be that both campaigns suck and I totally agree. I honestly don’t think it matters which side takes office because the House and Senate seem to control everything not the President.
I do not sit around discussing politics or strategies so maybe I am missing a lot. Many a fight has erupted over who should be doing what to whom or why they shouldn’t pass a certain bill or why we shouldn’t provide aide to such and such place. I personally don’t like conflict so I normally keep my opinions to myself. Which ever side wins I certainly hope we can all pull together to keep our nation strong and I will continue to keep my choices private.
When I was young as soon as I could register to vote I did and I never should have talked about politics to my then husband because he was a jerk. He was such a hateful person that he registered for the first time, which he never had before and he was 10 years older than myself and the only reason he did so was so he could cancel out my vote, now how moronic is that? My choice won anyhow, but people do some of the dumbest crap for the wrong reasons.
I was going to link to some of the blogs I visited just to give a cross section because some were pretty controversial, but I forgot to get the links. I need to start writing in a notepad or carrying one around with me so that when I get an idea I can write it down and then later I will have a source that I can draw from instead of coming up a total blank like now.
I know many people that are so organised that they make everything appear easy. I am so lacking in discipline these days and I am really out of tune with everything, it’s like my mind took a leave of absence and didn’t warn me before hand, man I hate when that happens.

I think that those who feel the have an informed opinion should share it, but I am not sure that everyone who has a political opinion should open their mouth, honestly there are some politicians I wish would keep their mouths closed too.
I try to steer clear of hard topics on my blog.

Hello Sassy Mama Bear,
Thanks for stopping not everyone has an informed opinion though that’s the problem and the politicians always manage to tell half truths.

I agree with Sassy- I don’t discuss politics or religion on my blogs or on other’s blogs either… one reason is it is hard to read cues online and people takes things to seriously.

Each person has to answer that question for him or herself. I don’t express every opinion I have and I think I’m better for it. Politics is about winning so politicians do anything necessary to win. Ask Al Gore and John Kerry. Maybe they would have been better presidents but we’ll never know because they didn’t win.
