As Election Day 2010 approaches, I love how amped up people seem to get. I've always been a free thinker and a believer in people's right to speak their mind. I'm a Democrat, and have been since I was of voting age, because my personal beliefs about how this country should be run has always best mirrored that party. Of course, I do look at each individual candidate before making a decision on a race. Most importantly, I respect the opinions and views of others as their's to have, just as I have my own. But sometimes, opinions and views get a little dicey. Here's a good case in point. If you've been paying close attention to political news lately, then you already know who Sharron Angle is. The Republican candidate opposing Sen. Majority Leader Harry Reid in Nevada, I think it's best to say that Angle's advertisements are "biased" and that's the nice way to say it. The mean way would be to begin the ads "I'm Governor Wallace, and I approved this ad"....but that's just my opinion. Joy Behar, of ABC's the View, also gave hers, and let me just say, while I agree with her reasoning for making these statements, I believe there was a much nicer way.
LMAO....while I'm not condoning Joy Behar's comments, I applaud her for speaking her mind, and being funny as hell while she did it. Of course, she could have done it in a nicer way. But....
What in the world is Sharron Angle thinking? I agree 100% with the moron statement. This ad makes it look like illegal immigrants are all coming to the United States to join the Latin Kings and prey on innocent little white kids. While I disagree with illegal immigration, I understand why it's necessary for some. Maybe we need to work on creating better policies so that immigration is attainable for those who truly desire to be American citizens, and this will help lessen the problem. But attacking all illegal immigrants as violent gang members is absurd. Especially when the English seperatists who began settling here on May 14, 1607, initiated one of the most violent surges of illegal immigration this nation has ever known. Which allows me to offer up a masterful work on the subject. Shouts out to Jamaal St. John, an extremely talented poet.

This poem should make those who think like Sharron Angle reconsider their views on illegal immigration.
And on that note, enough said!
