I am so sick of politics

If I hear one more argument for or against any candidate I am going to punch someone in the face. Also I am sooooooo tired of the Obama urban legends. I am not saying the guy is perfect but seriously people why don't you check out Snopes.com before you forward one more email about Obama being raised a Muslim, going to a terrorist school in the Middle East, Not being eligible for president because of his father (and/ or mother), taking the oath of office on the Koran or having his new house paid for by Muslim leaders. This is all crap!!!! I am so sick of getting these emails. Don't send them to me or anyone else. You are just perpetuating flat out lies and rumors.

Also how many people know that McCain divorced his first wife after she was in a horrific car accident in which she had two smashed legs, a broken pelvis, broken arm, and ruptured speen. She spent six months in the hospital, and over the course of the next two years had 23 operations, which rebuilt her legs with rods and pins, as well as extensive physical therapy. She did not tell her husband about the accident in her letters to him, believing he already had enough to worry about, and the U.S. State Department told a surgeon who operated upon her not to mention anything to the press, lest it worsen the treatment for John McCain. They were reunited upon his release from captivity on March 14, 1973. She was now four inches (ten centimeters) shorter, in a wheelchair or on crutches, and substantially heavier than when he had last seen her. He began having affairs (by his own admission) and after divorcing his first wife he married his second (and current) wife 45 days later. This is the woman who waited for over five years while he was a POW. And this is supposed to be a good moral leader (according to many who are voting for him)?

If you are going to keep sending me crap (lies) about Obama then I am sending you the truth about McCain. Also you may want to look up the info on taxes. You will pay more under McCain unless you make over $250,000 a year. If you do make more than that in this time in America you should thank your lucky stars for being in the highest tax bracket while so many are out of work and losing their homes. Be grateful that you have this "problem".

Does this mean I am voting for Obama? No that is not what I am saying. What I am saying is if John McCain is going to win then let him win without these ridiculous and slanderous accusations. I don't particularly like either one of them to be honest. I am personally against abortion but I do think there are exceptions which John McCain does not make. When the choice is between a mothers life or the unborn child I think the mother should be able to make that choice not Congress. If it is simply a matter of convenience where someone's contraception failed then they should take responsibility for the choice they made to risk conceiving a child. There are many who want to adopt these children. Then there is the gray area of children who have severe disabilities. I don't mean autism or Down's Syndrome. We were the the foster parents of a little boy who had severe CP, fetal alcohol syndrome, he was also blind, fed by a tube, could not walk and was severely mentally retarded. He had no quality of life and after he left our home had chronic heart condition on top of constant ear infections. This child probably would have been better off had he not been born. He was abandoned and shuffled from foster home to foster home. We tried to keep him as long as we could and even went to court to prevent him from being moved to another home but we lost.

I am tired of not being able to vote for someone but rather against someone. I just want this vote to be over.
*Getting off the soapbox now*.
