I Am Republican But...



The Republican party did not have their act together when it came time to vote so I decided to vote for Hillary. (And she did win in California) Since only one person can be the chosen delegate for a party, I'd rather the Democrats have Hillary on their ticket. I seriously doubt the Republicans stand a chance, but their chances are greater against Hillary than Obama. There have been many inconsistencies with Obama and I do not have good feelings about him. The tears shed by the Clintons when they attended one of our churches does prove a tenderness of heart. Hillary can't be all bad - she likes American Idol and chocolate! LOL

For those who think I have been turned to a reprobate mind, let me remind you God has it all in control. Biblical prophecies are being fulfilled. Whether I vote or not, God will have His way. Furthermore, since I am a woman, I have the right to change my mind in November. :~)

  1. I'll have to say that I'd definitely prefer Hillary over Obama

  2. Ugh I can't stand that woman. I curious as to how you were able to vote for a democrat. When I voted in the primaries I was given a republican ticket with only the republican candidates shown.

    -Weston

    P.S. Brace yourself for the backlash this is going to cause! :)

  3. Mark - If I vote in November, it will be a Republican vote.

    Weston - I knew this post would be controversial and I am ready for it. I think all Republicans should have pushed hard to make Hillary the Democrat delegate. That would have eliminated Obama. The Republicans only chance is to be up against Hillary. BTW, I had to write in Hillary on my Republican ballot. There is a blank space provided on the ballot. Some people have written in Mickey Mouse.

  4. Jana, You disappoint me. I thought you were actually for Hillary not just against Obama. So many people hate him. Hopefully not as many as will vote for him in November, if he is the Democratic candidate.

  5. Helen - I have always been Republican and this is the first time I have voted Democrat. I'm sorry you find that disappointing. However, if things continue as they are, I will be very tempted to vote for Hillary again. I certainly don't like McCain. I will decide in November. I have thought of not voting at all, but then I wouldn't have a right to complain. LOL Don't be disappointed yet. Out of the three names, Hillary, Obama, McCain, I would choose Hillary.

  6. I am with you 100% on that choice of the three Sis Allard.

  7. Jana, If you had a Republican ballot in the primary, you voted for Hillary as the Republican candidate. I doubt she'll accept, even if she get enough votes. LOL I rank them this way: Hillary, Obama, No way!

  8. Helen - P.S. Some of my post was tongue in cheek. I am currently disappointed with the politics of this country. It definitely needs a change. I do not hate Obama, but seriously do not want him to be president even though I think he will become president. The only way he made it this far is because of Oprah. When he was first scheduled to go to S.C., they had reserved an auditorium that seated 6,000. She endorsed him just before that and they changed the venue to a 50,000 seat stadium and filled it. That is disturbing to me. People aren't choosing him because of his platform but rather because they are star-struck Oprah fans. In my opinion, that is not a rational way to decide who should be president.

  9. Jolene - Ten years ago I would have sworn I would never vote for Hillary but, as we have often heard, time has a way of changing things. In retrospect, I don't think Bill Clinton destroyed our country but he did embarrass us with his immorality. I also believe that age has matured some of Hillary's views. I don't think she would want to euthanize old people at her age now. LOL

  10. Helen - we were told we could cross-over with our votes. I did vote for her and she did win in California.

  11. That's different from here. But every state has its own rules.

  12. Helen - I really don't know but I want to believe my vote counted for Hillary.

    ReplyDelete
  13. And I hope it didn't (because you really voted against Obama). It's like a Protestant voting for the Pope. LOL

  14. Helen - I would rather look at it by tweaking your phrase - Hillary, McCain, or no way. Fortunately, I believe, we will still remain friends even if we disagree on this year's political race. Right? Chances are, if Obama wins the Democrat ticket, I will vote Republican. If Hillary wins the Democrat ticket, I will probably vote Democrat. I know, sounds like a confused soul, huh? But, that is the best my mind can reason at this time. Maybe it will be better by Nov.

  15. Of course, we'll remain friends. And the world will go on. And God will still be on the throne.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Helen - and that's part of the reason I love you so. Yes, God will still be on the throne and He is in control.

  17. Quite a post, and the comments are equally interesting. :)

  18. Carissa - I'm sure having grown up with Democratic parents had its influence on you, but wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have parties and just let the best one win?!? Who cares if we are blue or red, let's just get America on the right track. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if that is possible. Having lived in third world countries, it seems like America is moving backwards and the third world countries are moving forward.

  19. *rolls eyes at Kissa's comment* :) haha jk

    Yeah, I agree that our political system is in need of a serious overhaul. I also dislike McCain. He just seems crooked to me. I have already resigned myself to the fact that I am not going to like our next president since my candidate of choice doesn't stand a chance.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Weston - Kissa is our liberal democrat. LOL Who knows where America is headed next, but I am ready for the war to end and America to start taking care of America instead of the rest of the world.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Definitely Hillary over Obama, but I don't really think I could vote for either one of them.

    ReplyDelete
  22. LOL. democrat- yes. liberal- only slightly. Progressive is a MUCH better adjective for me! haha. And weston is full of nonsense, he is WAY more liberal than he's letting off.

    sadly, I agree with you Sis Allard. There arent very many canidates who can TRULY move America forward the way we need it. Your last comment said it perfectly "I am ready for the war to end and America to start taking care of America instead of the rest of the world". AGREED!

  23. Carol - I have contemplated not voting in November and actually heard several other people who said the same. Regardless of our votes, we will all have complaints.

    Carissa - liberal, conservative, liberal, conservative, yada, yada.....I hate the terms in the church but they do seem to ring true politically. Weston more liberal than he's letting on? Yeah, I believe that. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  24. ew I second that. I LOATHE religious 'liberal' vs 'conservative' titles.. but I guess thats for another "controversial" post later on huh?! it should be ;)

    ReplyDelete
  25. Carissa - I doubt that I post about that one. No need to raise my blood pressure and have a heart attack. But, I am thoroughly sick of people passing judgment, labeling people liberal, and being absolutely non-christian spreading a message of hate against people they don't even know. I think they have ripped I Corinthians 13 out of their Bibles. I'll let you run with that thought for your blog.

  26. And to think I thought being a progressive was good thing. Like progress. Get a move on making things better. In politics and religion. Is there a difference? Just depend on how you see food getting distributed and doctor's appointments mad. LOL LOL

    ReplyDelete
  27. Helen - unfortunately, there is a difference in the church. Politically, liberalism is seen as progressive or charitable but, in the church, liberalism is seen as forsaking your foundational standards. It is something we hear alot of in our district and, quite frankly, I'm sick of it. As for my bantering with Carissa, she is a young girl I have known since she was a child and has traveled with us as a WAY Choir member. She is a very progressive girl and might someday be the president. Her father has been involved in politics for many years. Our conversations are more jesting than serious.

  28. *cough* Weston is not a liberal, I repeat Weston is not a liberal. haha I like small central government and low taxes, which is why I'm a republican. :) I guess my liberal tendencies show though in the area of the Iraq war. I think we've been there long enough and need to get out. That's why I liked Ron Paul.

    p.s. I know ALL about Kissa's "liberalness" since it's be the start of many a discussion (read argument). :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. Weston - oops, sorry, I gave away the secret - you are still a closet liberal. LOL I can already hear you and Kissa "discussing." Funny thing is, I keep hearing laughter. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  30. Jana, when you boil it down to the basics - in politics or church - all progressives want to do is change those things that need improvement and leave alone those things that work. Too bad too many old, white men think that means we want to do away with them, when all we said was, share the power. Some conservatives are really reactionary and don't know the difference.

    ReplyDelete
  31. The really funny thing is we're "discussing" my previous post about low taxes through text message right now. haha

    ReplyDelete
  32. Helen - "reactionary." Yeah, that's good word for some of them. That's all they do - react, usually negatively. I have always said, "Only the ones 'doing' something are criticized."

    Weston - you and Kissa may as well give up. You will never agree. It's like the trinity versus oneness. LOL

  33. You are a brave soul! I too am extreamly weary of wax museum polititians. I ended up voting for Huckabee, even though I didn't fully agree with his record and I knew that I was throwing away my vote. At this point, maybe we should all get bumberstickers that read, "Don't blame me, I didn't vote for Goofy."
    At this point, whoever wins the presidency will fall under the "Goofy" cateragory.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Willman - I think you are right. This entire political season has been goofy. Me, brave? Not really. I did realize this post would be controversial, but no one is forced to read my blog. LOL Thanks for dropping by.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Unbelievable. haha And here I thought I finished my markings on this posting, but weston had to cross the lines again. LOL Sis Allard, I think you're right. Weston (trinity) and I (oneness) wont agree. But I do pray he receive a hunger for the revelation of the Truth. LOL totally jk
