Well, the word came down...a guy who has only been a medic for a year and only applied for the supervisor job in Linn county 1 week before the interviews got the job. Why? I am not sure. Everyone thought I would be a shoe in. I had the other two supervisors rooting for me. While I am not happy with this turn of events, it really does not matter. I know God has a plan, no matter how much I try to alter it, He is in control. He is ultimately in charge of my destiny.
On to politics....I have never been very outspoken about my political views. This election however has brought out my opinions in a way that has never before been seen. I was undecided until after the democratic national convention. While Barak Obama had a lot of good things to say, I am convinced that that is all it was, a speech. I do not believe that he really knows what to do. Good plans are one thing, but having the know how to impliment them is another. I am a fan of the McCain-Palin ticket. John McCain has been in politics for many years, he fights for what is right for the country as a whole not for lobbyists. Sarah Palin has proven herself to be a strong leader both as a mother and governor. My respect lies with her. While I think that vice president is a step down for her, I think she will do good things for the country. Bush is an idiot, he has no idea how to run a country and needed to be impeached 5 years ago. I know far too many people who have been to Iraq who still have no idea why we are there. While I do not think it is a good idea to pull out of Iraq, I do think we need to begin to have our presence there become more functional. Why are wew paying to rebuild a country that we blew up? Why do we not make THEM pay for the rebuild. Make them do the work, while we concentrate our forced on border patrol and aiming our guns at the murderous killers who sneak in to kill americans. Send a few hundred special forces troops into Iran to shoot their radical islamic president and park a few hundred nuclear warheads at their border. Send them a message that says... If you do not stop making bombs, we will deliver one to you...personally. Blow up Tehran with a 100 megaton bomb, wipe out anyone who chooses to stay and make Iran a resort town for american tourists! For a people who claim to be a peaceful religion, those muslims sure tend to lean toward violence. You cannot meet agression with weakness!
I say vote in McCain, let him lead the military into right decisions, bring home our troops and strengthen our borders against illegal immigration. I am all for anyone who wants to enter our counrty to better themselves, just do it by the book. Send ALL illegals back to their respective countries. Make a policy of no return for the first offense. If you are caught illegally, you can NEVER come back. If you are caught again, you go to prison. They should be forced to work building windmills to be put up all over the midwest to power the future.
Ok, stepping down now...I am sure no one is reading this anymore at thispoint. If so, great. Now you too can disagree with me...DJ

Sorry about the super position, but as we know, God has a plan.
Reading your post was like listening to Kenneth Sanders talk politics! hehe I do happen to agree with almost all of what you are saying. Obama scares me from a religious stand point as well as everything else. I'm very worried about this election, but I'm trying not to be.
Don't hold back Den - Tall us how ya really feel!
