As voters we have a duty to be well informed about party issues and should be willing to change our vote with a change in party platform and party politics.

I keep my mouth firmly shut in certain company (and on social media) because I have found that the political atmosphere has become so full of hateful ignorance.

Also, it's your blog and you can say/write whatever and however you feel.<br />Congratulation to this post! You've expressed your political opinion very polite and respectful.<br />If there is any reader who is not agree and leaving your blog like 'Anonymous' for example, you have certainly nothing lost (his/her comment made me really angry). The world is full enough of ignorant and narrow minded people, we do not need them in our blogworld.<br /><br />I'm for Obama like most of the German people! Although he could not full-fill all his promises or better - all our hope and wishes, he 'repaired' to some extend the reputation of America in the world which was really demmaged by the previous gouvernement. I certainly hope that he will have another chance. <br />My opinion about Mr. Romney: How can one trust a person who change his mind like shirts, an opportunist.<br /><br />So, let's cross fingers!<br /><br />Tres amicalement,<br />karin <br />LaPouyettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06793966763489506817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-76752494778025517952012-11-05T05:57:18.402+01:002012-11-05T05:57:18.402+01:00I would continue to follow you regardless of who y...I would continue to follow you regardless of who you vote for...or who you worship...or whether you are pro-choice or pro-life. I come here for your sweet voice words and photos that together paint a beautiful portrait of a place I love. The world is made up of many, many colors as are people and their many, many views. Labels, generalizations, stereotypes just aren't fair in my view. I voted, I feel good about the man I voted for and I hope our next President is fair and wise and does what's best for our country. Period.

I am very fortunate to live in Texas as we have been basically unaffected by the real estate debacle and recession, the state's economy is strong. However, my son is a commercial photographer, with 2 young children, and he has seen his income plummet because his clients (corporations) do not want to spend one penny they don't have to spend, they are afraid of what's ahead as nothing is for certain. Tuesday's election will at least solve that problem. Either we have another 4 years of being uncertain, or we have 4 years led by a business man who understands business as well as mankind. I applaud you for your post, Heather. It is very well done and I love you no matter who you support.

What they may not recognize is that the Republicans DO raise your taxes, at least if you're poor or middle class. Look at the DEDUCTIONS on our yearly income tax filing we've seen disappear and now they want to do away with our mortgage interest deduction. THAT'S RAISING YOUR TAXES. But if you're wealthy, heck no, your taxes won't be raised; in fact, you'll have them lowered. This is only one reason, and there are many more, why I would never support a Republican candidate. I do realize that our country is in a dire financial situation, and all of us are going to have to ante up, but let's do it FAIRLY, and not give the rich a free ride. I think it's been well documented that "trickle down economics" DO NOT WORK.

That, and I wanted to make the choice not solely based on the popular candidate, like I did in 2008. I wanted a strong reason why I was choosing one over the other, with a full understanding of both parties' platforms.<br /><br />Hoping for the best.
