Our hope is not in who governs us...our hope is in God alone. 2) The United States is set up to run in such a way that nothing changes too quickly, especially government. It is designed to be slow change. First chief justice John Jay, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and others wrote about that process. 3) I'll vote because I have a right to vote. It is a precious commodity. It allows my voice to be heard. One thing I came to understand in this election was the power of protest. In one instance, I voted for a particular candidate not because I necessarily supported that person, but because I was against their opponent. It's still a valid reason for voting, in my opinion."The Edge"https://www.blogger.com/profile/04274513346347987429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11666785.post-9320520442395449472010-11-04T18:54:57.779-04:002010-11-04T18:54:57.779-04:00Interesting commentary.

Actually, I sometimes agree with him, but I'm still voting.<br /><br />As for creating jobs, politicians need to realize that BUSINESS creates jobs, not the guvmint. They need to get out of the way of business. I have a sneaky suspicion that there's little any politician can do to fix the economy, but a lot they can do to screw it up. But then I'm an optimist.<br /><br />Thanks for the comments.Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16477949304113673930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11666785.post-2669156610636612752010-11-03T18:52:17.500-04:002010-11-03T18:52:17.500-04:00Nice overview, Randy.
