Comment on Perception is Reality: I don’t care what you think…wait, Yes I do! by chadgramling

Thanks Mark. And thanks for visiting. I’ve noticed a lot of the same tendancies from my oldest daughter (who is 4). I watch her and I realize that she has received a great portion of my personality. Honestly, it scares the crap out of me to think that she might experieince these feelings. Hopefully I can be there for her and talk to her about those feelings and emotions as she grows older and is ready to receive and understand them.

WOW When I read this all I could think about is my son. He is an 18 yr old @ North Side and he says the smae exact things! At home is eloquent, strong, and purposeful. Out in the world he would rather hide behind a book than let his well-thought out opinions out.
Keep this up as I am going to have him read you. Thanks!

Comment on Convince Me to Vote for Obama or McCain! by chadgramling

Thanks for commenting FOF. Funny thing, I never even considered the Constitution Party until I took that quiz. I’ve always sided mostly with the LP, but I will never become one to “affiliate” with any one party. This time around, I have heard basically nothing fromt he LP. And, now tha ti think about it, I only knew about Badnarick (sp?) last time around b/c I sought it out. A lot of people accuse the media of bias of one major party candidate over the other, but the real bias is towards major parties in general. They give very little attention to third party candidates. And before anyone tries to counter with the “nobody cares about third party candidates so that is why they don’t talk abou thtem” argument, I say BS! Many people care about third party choices. Who’s next?

Wow, some of our views are very similar.

I have voted 3rd party for many years now. I am tired of only having to choose between two polar opposite ends of the spectrum. I truly believe that most of this country has it’s views anchored somewhere in the middle, yet it’s the noisy extremists that get all the attention.

I took the quiz you linked to, and scored 86% - Baldwin/Constitution, 76% - Barr/Libertarian, 64% - McCain/Republican, 50% - Obama/Democrat, 43% - Nader/Independent and 29% - McKinney/Green

I have recently talked about Constitution/Libertarian parties ON MY BLOG (link)

I also tell people to take The World’s Smallest Political Quiz. That may help you understand where you stand as well.

I am disappointed with the lower percentage of votes the third party candidates get. I think it’s time that the MAJORITY of this country (who I believe live somewhere between the extreme Democrat and extreme Republican views) send a message. A message from somewhere in the middle.

Ultimately, this vote is yours. You should cast your vote for the candidate that you think will be the best choice for this country as a whole.

Best of luck to you Chad Gramling!

Thanks for stopping by and commenting Rodney. Hopefully I’ll get back on the WordUp Horse and post more regularly for a while. Baseball season (and life) had me pretty well worn out. I’m still worn out, but the baseball headlines are slowing, so I might have at least a little ambition.

It’s been a long time between posts but what a great post it is.

Even though I have no say in the US election it’s a great reminder for all of us to pray for godly governments in our own countries and around the world.
