Oct 2012

I have seen them vote against their best interest many times over the last 30 plus years. They love smoke & mirrors and seem to believe anything, fast talking politicians tell them to make them feel better. I am sure the real back bone of the US economy is the selling of the Brooklyn Bridge over and over.

I still have hope that President Obama will win and the Democrats will still have the Senate. The House however I feel will still be Republican.
