Do people really understand what they are saying at a particular moment or do they honestly believe what they are saying? The other night on the news, a story about the candidates (what else is on????) was talking about the needs of the American people and how they are suffering and how the government bailed out Wall Street with their recent financial fiascoes. One lady interviewed was sharing how she needed help herself and couldn’t understand why the government bailed out “big business” but didn’t help her. She ended with, “The government needs to help me too”.
No, Sister. The government does not need to help you anymore than it already does. Why do you think that you deserve help? If the government helped all Americans with all that they thought they “needed”, it wouldn’t have the time nor the money to do anything else. What ever happened to personal responsibility? Of taking care of one's own needs and living within your means and not above them? I know that people do need help at times, but expecting the government to help you out all the time for is asking for a bit too much, in my opinion.
Have a blessed day!

Amen. Just put a long post up on why I am voting for McCain. Most of all, is that I do not need a "nanny".
