Surprises - Thank yous

I just want to thank kiyasama and Acme for their generous donations to my SHOW OFF YOUR BEST CONTEST. I'll be able to keep the contest open a couple of more months and hopefully that will tide me over until I don't have to pinch my pennies anymore.

Then today on the news I saw that the economy was pushing toward a recession. Refreshing to hear. This is going to sound silly but remember when we got those rebate checks for income tax back in 2001 from Bush? My husband and I looked at each other and said, "This can't be good if the government is giving out money like this." Now, as Bush prepares to leave office, the economy is not looking good. I don't mind paying taxes. But then Bush's record speaks for itself.

Politics, anyone?

Congrats to Huckabee and Obama. It's going to an interesting race and I sense the keyword here is CHANGE.

That said, I'm a native New Hampshirite and even though I'm in Cali now, I understand what goes on through a native New Hampshire voter's mind. They look at all the angles. They are independent in voting. They make up their own minds. They're more liberal in a sense than what people think. There are so many issues but I think the main ones I want to hear the cand. talk about:

THE WAR IN IRAQ
THE ECONOMY
IMMIGRATION
RESTORING AMERICA'S DAMAGED INTERNATIONAL REPUTATION
HEALTH CARE

But whatever the next president does, it is imperative they get us back on track. Me personally, I felt like we've off track as a nation since 2000.

That said, this is my opinion. I'd love feedback and I'd love to hear an opposite POV, but don't call me "stupid," "dumb" or any other name in defense of your opinon. Argue it it with class - like Barak Obama would.

Smiles,
Steph

Who I am voting for? I'm voting for Hillary in the California primary.
