3 things

There are 3 things that you NEVER discuss in mixed company.

Religion. Sex. Politics.

I am voting for Barack Obama. As an American, I have that right. I have the right to choose the person that I think will do the best job in leading our country. It's a right and a privilege to have that freedom of choice. And that right belongs to me, just the same as it does to you. You are exercising the same rights and privileges by voting for John McCain.

I am an adult. I am not ignorant. I have done very well for myself in my 35 years. I have researched my candidate and where he stands on the issues. I have reviewed Senator Obama against Senator McCain on an independent website weighing all of the issues on a pro/con basis and my views, my beliefs best match Senator Obama. Not that I need to explain myself or my choice to you.

Jeremy and I are on opposite sides this election year. We don't discuss the election in our own home. It's not discussed at work. I don't talk about the election with my friends or my family. I won't discuss it with you.

I don't appreciate bashing of my candidate. I hate mud slinging and I'm not fond of tattle-tales either. I do not want to debate this with you. I do not want you to attempt to sway my decision. I don't do it to you. I can respect your choice. Please respect mine.

That said. Stop calling my house. Stop emailing me. Stop interrupting my television programs. I don't want to hear you on my radio either. I have made my choice. I don't care who you chose. Go Away! Leave me alone!
