While my mind is pretty much made up as to how I’ll vote in the presidential election, I am looking forward to the debates. For me, aside from stance on issues and proven record, any campaigning done up until now … Continue reading → Continue reading →

I’m not one to applaud the nomination of a woman just on that fact alone, just as I wouldn’t have plans to vote based on gender or race–either against or for; though I must say I would’ve loudly applauded Condi … Continue reading → Continue reading →

God knows, Hillary won’t get offstage any other way.  You’d think she’d quit spending other people’s money in these hard times she pretends to understand when Obama has been declared the winner. Remember, she loaned her campaign personal funds–while her … Continue reading → Continue reading →
