I doubt anyone is surprised, really.
Last night while talking with my mom on the phone, we veered off into subjects I don't normally like to discuss with my family because I generally have a different view than some of them. I don't like confrontations, some might say I am passive. Somehow, we were talking about the election. And because I tend to back down or agree (I am sure I could do a few therapy sessions to figure out why I do that!) when people have strong feelings about something, such as the presidential candidate, I just said that well, neither candidates are the greatest choices. (Or something to that effect.) I don't really believe that...I lied. Mom, sorry for not telling you the truth. I do think that Obama is the best choice. I am ready for someone fresh in the office. I want Obama to win.
Eight years ago, I think I voted for the first time for the president. I voted for the green party because I wanted there to be a third choice in elections. I wanted to support that avenue. Well, I didn't realize that Bush would actually win way back then. I am in no way a strong political activist or an avid follower of politics. So, I do not know all the ins and outs of what Obama or McCain stand for or don't stand for. All I know is that in 2008, I am ready for some different options on how we get our energy and how we handle our foreign politics. America is beautiful and I want to keep it that way!
Okay, now that I've admitted and apologized for lying, I will go back to avoiding such discussion so I don't end up having to apologize again!
