Some Thoughts on the Election

Mike sent me a great article today about Sarah Palin and her attacks on Barack Obama regarding his abortion record. Everyone who knows me knows I am passionately pro-life, in every case. Good can never come out of a situation in which we kill an unborn child. I cannot even believe our great country offers abortion as a legal alternative to motherhood. Anyway, I am totally justified in saying this, as I was faced with an unplanned pregnancy, and an ex-boyfriend, at 20 years old. I chose life, not because it was easy, or the right time, but because it was the right thing to do. There simply was no other option. For me, there is only black and white on this issue.

Since it's looking more and more like Obama is going to win the White House on November 4th, I'm wondering where the hell the special needs community is? Sarah Palin is living what we live every day. She had the guts to do the right thing by her child Trig, and gave him life. She would be an incredible advocate for us in Washington! What is wrong with this country? We are putting our pocket books ahead of our morals in this election! Barack Obama doesn't give a damn about our special needs kids, for God's sake. If he's okay with NOT INTERVENING after a baby survives a botched abortion, then what makes you think he's going to do a thing to help our community? If we can legally kill our unwanted babies at all stages of gestation, up to and including the due date, then how long will it be until we can start terminating our special needs children when they become too much of a burden on us as parents? Does that sound crazy to you? It shouldn't. It's coming down the pike.

McCain and Palin have met with special needs families after rallies. I haven't heard about Obama and Biden doing anything like that. I just cannot believe people don't educate themselves on all the issues. They'll vote for Obama because he seems "nice", and he's young, and black, and his family is so cute. If that's what you base your vote on, then please, stay home. You are obliged, as an American citizen, to be educated and informed before stepping in that voting booth.

I'm just amazed at how many parents that blame the government in the first place, for letting big pharma get away with poisoning our kids with polluted vaccinations, will turn around and vote for this guy. Just ask the parents living over in Jersey how happy they are with the revised mandated vaccine schedule for their kids. They are ramming shots down those poor kids throats. Parents have less and less of a say. Jersey makes it very difficult to opt out. Very scary. But yes, let's elect Barack Obama, Corzine's fellow Democrat. They seem to be so friendly to the autism community!! Here's the link. You can read all about it.

At the end of the day, I guess our special needs community feels more strongly about paying less at the pump, and shitty government health care for all because you know, the government is so good at everything it takes control of, right? We'll see how this all turns out soon enough. Unfortunately, I believe we're about to make a huge mistake by electing the wrong guy for President to represent our kids. And our kids are going to continue paying the price for government's mistakes. They are the ones who will end up being the biggest losers in this election.
