Right now I would like to see the whole country do what I just did, change their party affiliation to Independent. I think both parties have gotten so far from their original principles that we should examine everything that everyone says to see if it lines up with our own beliefs. I don’t want either side to assume they had me at hello!

I want things to make sense and I want the truth. Simple. Give me that and I will decide who gets my vote….and I will do that every year! No assumptions about where my vote will go so the polls can’t give incorrect information to mislead people before an election. What if we were all Independents? Who would financially support this madness that continues in Washington? They would once again be ‘dependent’ on us….as Representatives of us should be. The lobbyists would not be able to control everything as they do now.

As long as they keep both sides fighting each other, as a country we will ultimately lose. I learned this at a great cost in a divorce  where my child was the unwitting pawn. When the two sides chose to stop opposing each other, the “family” in the largest sense won. Personally, if we made that same choice and took our minds and  then our votes back to our own  safe-keeping, I think the country in the largest sense would benefit.
