Election Day

The thrill of election day excitement is in the air.  Or so says the media. To tell you the truth, I can't wait to get today over with and I'm worried that tomorrow may not be much better.

The media is cashing in today, on hours and hours of pure speculation and inaccurate polls. This morning I watched an interview with David Bernstein [Watergate reporter] and I agree with him completely. The election process in this country needs a complete revamping, as well as how congress operates. The past four years have been a total nightmare of wasting taxpayer's money and getting nothing much accomplished [not to mention the recession].

And YES--I blame the Republicans. We pay these folks to work together. Not to bulldoze other's ideas into the ground. This country just doesn't work anymore. We have a failed system. In my entire life, I don't think it's ever been this bad before. We are going back in time to the '60's in our legislative thinking.Obama has been blocked from almost every issue although he DID get out "equal pay for women" and his healthcare act.  Now the Republicans want to take away women's healthcare rights, "Obamacare" and the right to choose. It seems everything I fought for over 30 years ago, is in jeopardy again along with Medicare and Social Security.

How I wish I could wake up tomorrow morning and find out that all this was only a bad dream.
