I've never been this pessimistic in my life. I'm bitter over the results. I'm ANGRY. Sure, I knew in my heart that Obama would probably have another 4 years to completely screw up the country, but I still held out hope.
And now all my hope is gone.
Although I'm a strong Republican, the issues that I am extremely passionate about this year are not even the regular issues that lead me to vote Republican. This year the main issue for me was the economy and the 16 trillion dollar debt that I (actually, no, I don't have any thing to do with 16 trillion dollar debt. I'm actually responsible with my money.) wil be passing to my children.
My children.
This election, I'm not sitting around, saying, "Okay, that's just the way it has to be". There has been a righteous fire that has been ignited in our household after last night. I am researching, planning ways to get involved and fight this political war as best I can. We are in a political Civil War and I believe it's only going to get worse.
On a lighter note, I thought of ONE funny thing in the midst of my anger last night.
At least Mitt Romney will have fewer gray hairs than President Obama in 4 years :)
If only the President didn't turn gray after 4 years in office, I just might run for President. But, I don't want gray hair :)

Good call on deleting your facbook account! It was starting to get nasty on there.
Isn't it amazing how children change our views on politics? I never payed much attention to it before Emma was born, but yesterday during her nap I looked up ever candidate (even the judges) to make sure I was doing a good job voting.
Its scary seeing what our world is coming to and knowing that our children will grow up in this. The great thing is that God will always be in control and that this is just our temporary home! Thanks for such an honest and insprational post!
That's how I was too, Sarah! I researched this year so I could make an educated decision about each of the candidates. It's SO scary to raise children today but as someone encouraged me, "Just raise your kids in the truth of God". Encouraging and overwhelming at the same time!
