Here they all come!  For the next few days we Texans will be bombarded by the "hopefuls" .  Promises, promises,  promises.  "I" will do this--"I" will bring change.  Change, change, change--and these words are in every champaign ad and speech that I have heard.  One [who is a senator] claims to be a Washington outsider.  How is that possible.  OH wait maybe because he has missed quite a few votes in the senate.  I have heard promises of free this, lower this, more of that, and something for every American no matter what.  But come next January when one promises to be in her office the first day !  What no innagural balls and celebrations???  Anyway, Texas is an important state so the ads will keep coming.  My phone is ringing, and ringing, but with my new phone service all those calls go to a voice mail--and so I just ignore them.  But if I check it and listen, I hear even more hype.  

OH!  the newest ad---a phone rings in the White House in the middle of the night--who do you want to answer it.  [the phone is the red phone]

 I only hope that none of you out there fall for all the hype.  We all have to weigh very carefully our decisions-- the Republican side is not sewn up, and certainly on the Democrat side the mud is being thrown fast and furious.  Get ready for all the dirty tricks!!!!!  I voted early, and while I won't divulge who, just that I voted my party, and being conservative, well that was a difficult vote.  But then there is no way I could go for the communistic plans of the two Democrat candidates.  There I said it--we are moving closer to that form of government.  The kind of government we fought both in words and in physical battles to keep from taking over other countries.  Oh, be careful what you wish for people!  Think of it as perhaps an 8 year Presidency not just 4.  And oh the changes that can take place! If you are unhappy with the way things are now--well, they could always be worse!

VOTE--but VOTE for your freedom!
