The election

What is a liberal with a serious interest in keeping her Second Amendment rights supposed to do? I voted 3rd party.

Let me explain.

I have never been so conflicted by an election before. Obama stands for most of my core beliefs. Education, choice, taking care of people that need help, ending the war in Iraq, all those warm fuzzy things. He even has hinted at the need for lots of us to make sacrifices in order to pull the economy out of it's freefall. John McCain I found to be erratic and really dangerous, except where my 2nd Amendment rights are concerned. And his choice for VP really made me question his judgement. I thought back in 2000 that he was all that and a bag of chips.

I'm still angry that the country had to suffer through 8 years of GWB. I thought it was apparent in 2000 that GWB was an idiot. In 2004 I thought everyone would see through him and get him the hell out. But no. So now, we have huge deficits and a costly war that is sucking the life out of our economy. Because of the lamest.president.ever I get to sound like a nut.

I don't want to sound like a nut. If I can't defend myself, all my other rights are useless.
