| "Can we count on your vote?" | | I'm sure we've all been stopped in the street or on our doorsteps by political campaigners asking if they can count on our vote. My response is always that it is a secret ballot and therefore, NO-ONE can actually count on my vote. Many of them will continue to press as to which candidate you might be leaning towards but, it is still a SECRET vote... what do they not understand about the word secret? I have suggested that they go home and check it out in the dictionary!
I dont tell anyone how I intend to vote or how I have voted...its between me and the ballot box.
How about you? Do you tell the campaigners? Do you tell them the truth? Do you tell anyone else? | |
| | What Will Happen to Joe Lieberman? | | The Majority Leader, Harry Reid met with Leiberman yesterday about his place in the democratic caucus. The Minority Leader, Mitch McConnell, has spoken to him about joining the Republican Conference. "Reid is waffling over whether to revoke Lieberman’s chairmanship of the Homeland Security Committee and may instead hold a secret vote among Democratic members on whether to kick Lieberman out of the caucus."http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1108/15401.htmlShould Lieberman still hold his chairmanship? Or do you think he should leave the caucus altogether? | |
| | Having your opinions validated is a wonderful feeling. Thank you Mr. Powell. | | Perhaps Jerry Garcia would have sung, "What a long strange campaign it's been!" if he were around to witness the present presidential race. We have seen bizarre plot twists all along the way in this one.
Hillary came THIS CLOSE to getting nominated to be the first female candidate from a major party. Barrack threw his hat into the ring officially on the anniversary of the the I Have A Dream speech, emphasizing his triumph in a historical step for minorities. Then McCain brought Sarah Palin on board for his running mate, marking a great step for women in politics.
Today the latest new-unusual-boarding-on-bizarre occurence. Colin Powell, who is one of the president's major right hand men, and a Republican, spoke up declaring his support for Obama, the Democratic candidate. He even attempted to sound apologetic to Bush, but in listening to his declaration it was clear he is without regret about his decision. In fact, he went so far as to state publicly that he will vote for Obama. This absolutely thrills me personally. Even though I won't vote in the US now because I live in Canada, I strongly believe Obama has what it takes to be President and turn things around for the US.

| J.F.K Speech on secret societies, is it still important today? | | For those who don't like to read:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdUsJHeVXiE
The very word "secrecy" is repugnant in a free and open society; and we are as a people inherently and historically opposed to secret societies, to secret oaths and to secret proceedings. We decided long ago that the dangers of excessive and unwarranted concealment of pertinent facts far outweighed the dangers which are cited to justify it. Even today, there is little value in opposing the threat of a closed society by imitating its arbitrary restrictions. Even today, there is little value in insuring the survival of our nation if our traditions do not survive with it. And there is very grave danger that an announced need for increased security will be seized upon by those anxious to expand its meaning to the very limits of official censorship and concealment. That I do not intend to permit to the extent that it is in my control. And no official of my Administration, whether his rank is high or low, civilian or military, should interpret my words here tonight as an excuse to censor the news, to stifle dissent, to cover up our mistakes or to withhold from the press and the public the facts they deserve... | |

| | Your best friends girl friends secret | | I texted my best friend today to ask his girlfriend why he is so sad. She told me she didn't know when she did know why. I asked her is it because you want give him any fun time in the bedroom she said she doesn't now. I asked why she didn't want to and she say because I don't want to. Not even a little foreplay for him. Then she flat out told me she is only there for his kids and not him. I'm like wtf. He doesn't want a girl to just take care of his kids he wants a relationship. I know I didn't like this girl for a reason and I told my best friend that I didn't. Now I know why its because she was just using him for her and her daughter to live with him and his kids. So that she didn't have to work. She didn't love him like she said she did. She told me she is leaving very soon and not coming back for good. I'm glad of that cause she shouldn't have lied to him and dragged him along like he is some toy when he is a person. I'm going to tell my best friend before she does cause its just wrong of her to do that to him. Clue one for all of you out there that got into a relationship with someone you think you love. If they ask you right off the bat after one or two date if you can... | |

| the secret of writing.. | | hi all! I am so wanting to write articles but I am so unfortunate that every time I write something, my mind becomes empty. I admit that I love to read and there are a lot of ideas in my brain. I am also good in English but one thing that I don't really like is to Write. Whenever I stumble unto blogs I always feel envious and it makes me want to write a blog myself. Sad to say after 1 to 2 paragraphs I'd become mental blocked... is there someone here who has a situation like me? for all good writers out there..can you give me some pointers or suggestions for me to do so that I can write a whole article and stop from being mental blocked? Please help!! thank you... | |
