Non-Political People and Can this Election be over Soon Please

With Congress selling out (Note: Tom Udall voted No!) to the fears of George W. Bush, taxpayers are now on the hook for $700 billion to bailout Wall Street. Where are the CEOs in handcuffs for getting our economy in this mess?

I took yesterday off to spend it with people who don’t take part in politics but they were even talking about the economy. The response from those individuals was where is the officials that should be holding these CEOs responsible from their crimes? What is this saying to our future business leaders? How often will Congress have to pass another bailout bill for Wall Street?

We are now down to the last few weeks before the election. The deadline to register to vote is October 7. Now is the time to vote since as soon as you do vote you fall off the list of many campaigns to contact and people stop knocking on your door bugging you to vote. It is strange to think that in just three short weeks this election will be said and done with for another four more years or at least two years.

I keep hearing people say that it can not come too soon because everyone is beginning to get sick of it all. Campaign workers that welcomed you with a smile a few short months ago now don’t even say hello when you walk in the door. Others want your every minute to get those last few voters to the polls. Maybe next time someone comes by to offer support they can find something other then I busy to say to a long time supporter or is this just a warning sign of thinks to come.

It is nice to be able to look forward to planning activities in the near future that have nothing to do with politics. Some bloggers are already turning to other subjects like educational issues and things like the hot air balloon fiesta. Still with just three more weeks to go now is not the time to take our eyes of the ball. Early in person voting starts on October 18.
