2 weeks till Election Day

and I cannot WAIT until it's over. This whole mess is giving me a big fat headache. I know I am not the MOST informed voter...but I do my research. I don't just say I like someone for no reason. The reason most people like John McCain is they believe the bullshit that he says about Barack Obama and his plan for the US. If you don't know what you're talking about and you just really like McCain because he's a war hero...then send him to Iraq...he'll do a great job. Don't make him President!!!!!!

Firstly, one of my main objections to him becoming President is he will want to overturn Roe V Wade. Before you exlpode at me, I understand that he can't just do this on his own...but I think you'll agree with me that the President of the United States certainly has a lot of power (which the current administration showed by taking away American citizen's rights with no resistance). McCain has already stated (I have video of it) that he would like to nominate (appoint he originally mis-spoke)those to the supreme court that would be in favor of overturned Roe V Wade. This is TRUE people...look it up. If one more person tells me I'm ignorant for telling them this, I might flip my shit. I just want people to know that I am informed. I know most of America is not...but I know what I'm talking about and if I don't...I admit it. For instance, I don't know a lot about Barack Obama's tax plan. I do know that he wants the middle class to exist in this country again and to do so, we need help from the upper class. You can spare some change. I also know that the small business tax is NOT for business's that gross 250,000 a year. That would be ridiculous. There are exemptions if you don't actually see that money...he can't take it from you. People are not focusing on the facts this election and rather they are focusing on the glitz and glamour that Obama and McCain are parading around.

I am going to vote for Obama. Overall I like his policies and past voting record better than McCains. I am in a swing state, and therefore I will definitely be voting for Obama. However, if I were not in a swing state I think that Nader would have my vote for the fourth election in a row. This country needs to get it's shit together and remember what the founding fathers wanted for this country. NO BI-PARTISAN LEADERSHIP, seperation of church and state, and FREEDOM. W made sure that many of our freedoms were stripped from us these past eight years...an unconstitutional measure...thereby impeachable. Nader wants to excercise the right to impeach a President with multiple reasons. If we really want to be constitutional Americans we will fight for the re-institution of the constitution and the rights that were stripped from us.

I'm sorry for the rant. I'm in a mood.

Let's move on...Durango!
I love Durango in the fall. The leaves and the smell...it's intoxicating! I love running this time of year and it's been amazing. Perhaps this weekend I will get the chance to take some pics and put them up. I love Durango...have I said that already!?
