Yeah, I know, another post and it's a political rant, but who knows, maybe you'll agree....


I can already tell from Facebook statuses that people will not put their bitching aside. I already see McCain supporters talking about how horrible Obama is and how the people who voted for him are dumb. And if McCain was ahead, I know there would be Obama folks saying the same crap towards McCain supporters.

I wish people could understand what such negativity does to you, spiritually, mentally and physically. Like I have told others, I'd love to see people calm down after today and respect each other, but I can already see from Facebook statuses that ain't gonna happen and people will still bitch because their guy didn't get in.

THANK GOD that I trust God. I'd go crazy if my entire trust and faith was in a political candidate to make things right. I couldn't imagine being so negative about the other side all the time. I'd get depressed constantly bitching about how bad the president is. If everyone spent the same time praying for politicians that they do complaining about them, think of the mountains we'd move. :)

An example would be Bush. Can't stand the man but ya know what? I didn't spend the last 8 years harping on how awful he is. And when people in my family would do so, I'd cringe because even if I may agree with the complaints and while they may be justified, just hearing that negativity again and again and again drives me insane. It makes me almost as depressed as the issue your complaining about! That's why I won't listen to a lot of the local talk radio hosts who are very pro-Republican and anti-Obama. I know that there are liberal pundits too but not on KDKA which is what I usually have on (cause Marty Griffin ROCKS, heh) and when I have listened to liberal pundits on cable news, I still cringe.

Sometimes I'd agree with the pundits (conservative and liberal) BUT I still would feel depressed after hearing them because the name calling, the mocking, the constant complaining about how horrible they are and how they're dragging America down....WHAT GOOD DOES IT DO? Does it change things? And sometimes I swear people give too much credit to the President. He isn't as powerful as everyone would like to think he is. I could never be a talk show host who harps on politicians EVERY SINGLE DAY for THREE HOURS A DAY. My gosh, that has got to mess with your soul, lol

I just wish people could come together and try to support whoever does win (doesn't mean you have to support every decision they make) instead of dragging everyone down by not only complaining about the politician but by calling their supporters names and acting like the world is ending. If the world is going to end, it'll be because of the crap spewed out by political supporters and not because of the politician.

And for the record, I know that I have at times, been negative and snarky towards politicians, but I'm usually joking about it and not THAT angry...and if I complained everyday and treated their supporters like garbage, I'd be a very miserable woman.

Tomorrow will be a new day, we will have a new President, but my God is the same today and everyday and he's still the one in control. :)

And again, this is a must read for all:
