Pigs are About to Fly: (Political Screed)

I know, I know . . . I try to stay away from politics . . .

But when I hear stuff like THIS. Hmmmm . . . .

There have been two times in my life when I have not voted Republican: In 1979 in a straw poll at my elementary school when I voted for presidential candidate Anderson (independent) and in 1992 when I voted for Perot (I am still embarrassed about that one). I did not vote for Obama but I am not so obtuse as to think every little piece of everything he has done is anathema.

Take, for instance, one little piece of the health-care over-haul: pre-existing conditions. Under the new reforms, no insurance company can deny Annabelle coverage based on her being born with SB. If the reform were repealed, Annabelle runs the risk of becoming uninsurable.

I am sure there are problems with the health care bill but in my mind, this is not one of them. Fine, pass further amendments - fix the parts that are outta whack - but this baby-out-with-the-bath-water approach really steams me.

When I hear interviews like the one above, I am strongly tempted to vote a straight-ticket come November - just not in the way the tea party hopes I will.

Dial back the rhetoric, folks . . .
