Election 2012

Well, the time has come. The 2012 Presidential Election is only hours away. Some have dreamed of this day and some have feared this day. Some are rejoicing that the day has come and some are mourning that this day has come.

The frantic cries of the media are amusing. Anchors are salivating over the thought of their candidate coming to victory. Their "balanced and unbiased" coverage of the matter is less than "balanced and unbiased". Whether you prefer CNN, MSNBC, ABC or perhaps Fox, they all have their own agenda and opinion. Some convey their thoughts subliminally and some come right out and tell you in an "in your face" kind of way.

I personally get my news about the election (or any news for that matter) from multiple sources so as to compare and attempt to get the whole story and I suggest you do the same. Some news sources have polls that show candidate "Bob" with 54% of the vote while candidate "Jim" has 46%. Other news sources have polls that show candidate "Bob" with 45% of the vote while candidate "Jim" has 58%. They both claim to poll with a bi-partisan agenda, yet they get significantly different results. How can this be so?

Nevertheless, we will find out tonight who is "bi-partisan" and who is not.

I have made my mind on which candidate I support but will not endorse him here. I don't consider myself a Republican or a Democrat. I just believe in upholding the Constitution and the Christian principles on which our Forefathers founded this great nation. I vote for the person, not the party. This is the premise I base my vote on.  

Whichever candidate you support, I wish you the best. I just pray that this great nation does not fall prey to the hands of evil men.
