It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over

I laughed last night when even CBS mentioned that Mitt Romney won the first debate. Took them long enough to figure it out. Overconfidence, however, is as deadly as apathy in the political realm. Winning is a heady experience, but there are several more debates left in this last month before the election, so Romney and company must be vigilant. The healthcare crisis is going to break out on top of Obamacare one of these days- thousands of middle class Americans were notified that their "Medicare Advantage" coverage will cease to exist as of December 31, 2012. It means that the companies who used to supply such marvelous coverage can no longer do so. So we will need separate policies for prescription drugs and medical coverage. Separate usually mean more expensive, by the way. It's a recipe for disaster. The problem as I see it is this: "social conservatives" (that's evangelicals to you and me)tend to get into a snit about who's running and hand the election off to the other guy. Yep, that's right, in the last election scores of people stayed home and look where it got us! They didn't like John McCain so we got Barack Obama. Whiners, they should have voted ANYWAY. Now I get emails consistently about how bad the Mormons are. Frankly I don't care if Mitt Romney is from Mars and has antenna under his hair. If we don't get out and V.O.T.E. we will have a fiscal explosion so big that I very much think America will not survive it. So for everyone you know...kick them in the read end and tell them to get out and VOTE! Don't just hand this election over to Barack Obama!
