Although our current President hasn't been perfect, he at least tries to do the right thing. I think increasing troops in Afghanistan was a big mistake, but he did follow through on pulling us out of Iraq, something I didn't think he would do. Why is it we can always find funding for the next big bomb, but we can't seem to fund schools?<br /><br />I've been critical of the President for bowling over too quickly when confronted, especially early in his term. However, when Mitch McConnell said: <b>"The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president,”</b> I knew that the conservatives really didn't care about us, or life, or anything else. They only care about winning. Governing is way down the list. <br /><br />I can just imagine what that other singer/songwriter, Woody Guthrie, would have to say about the current state of affairs.K1YPPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16721720481909101794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8418939.post-76176915339881147722012-10-25T13:28:56.599-04:002012-10-25T13:28:56.599-04:00Thank you for posting this.

I basically said the ...Thank you so much for this. I basically said the same thing this morning to a Catholic whose church had handed him a pamphlet telling him how to vote. I believe in the sanctity of life and of fighting for those who have no voice, even if that means allowing a woman to make a choice not to bring a child into the world for whom she cannot care. Mr Romney and Mr. Ryan seem to subscribe to a love the fetus, disregard the child philosophy, which I cannot, as a Christian understand or support.emily.ridge.gallagher@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03235569619984037635noreply@blogger.com
