I just voted for Mitt Romney in the Illinois Primary.
Mitt Romney is a good and honorable man with whom I disagree on everything.
Rick Santorum, on the other hand, encourages real hate in people and it scares me.
Last night I got one of those robocalls, funded by a Santorum superpac, where I was "warned" about all the rights Romney gave gays in Massachusetts and then it closed with a plea that I be "a good Christian or Jew" and vote for Santorum.
So I set the alarm clock a little early and got up and voted for Romney. After all, I support gay rights! And as far as I'm concerned, whoever is responsible for that call knows nothing about being a "good Christian or Jew."
Besides, this poor state has already endured Blago. If we help Santorum retain the limelight, the humiliation will be so great that all citizens of voting age will be forced to wear glasses and a fake nose with moustache to disguise our shame.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
I'm glad you were a good citizen and voted. :)
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I can't vote in primaries. I'm a registered Independent.
ReplyDeleteI don't even think I'm registered. I was, but when I moved back to Jersey and reregistered I never got a new card. I'll end up reregistering in New York in a few months anyway.
