Clearly this election is a crazy one. It has gotten me thinking, which I guess is a good thing. :) I've been trying to figure out where my views and opinions lie on the political spectrum and if the things I believed when I was younger still apply. It has been an interesting experience for me, especially since I usually ignore all things political.
Harmony is in my top 5 so I have a hard time with all the anger that is out there on both sides. I can see the points for both parties so it is hard for me to get into big political discussions because I struggle to take the hard line. I am however, very tired of being called evil for leaning more to the right. I don't understand why it has to be a personal attack---we all believe different things and that is what makes things interesting. It also makes things hard.
I heard today that the polls in Minnesota are split--45% for each candidate. So clearly we are a divided state. I'm guessing we aren't the only state split like that. So I wanted to take a poll of you guys out there. Where do you fall? Feel free to leave comments but please keep them civil. :)

Rachel!!! It's Laura from Best Buy. Kam gave me your blog address....hope that's okay! Just wanted to chime in quick and say that I think it's awesome that you're thinking more about politics and the election. Those of us on the right typically are made to feel "bad" for being conservative and going against the main-stream media. But in all fairness, both sides throw mud at each other all the time...especially during an election season. :) If you ever want to talk more about this, send me a message over Facebook. I LOVE talking politics!!!! :) Take care!
Rachy Rach- Welcome to the world of all things political. It's cool to see. I think you represent a fairly large group of American voters. You are the vote that the candidates are trying to woo. I think most people that have an easy time identifying with a party still have many issues they have moderate views on...what seperates is a few key issues that there is little compromise or middle ground. That is where many seperate into their parties. Socialism vs. Free Market, Abortion, War, Role of Gov't, US-force for good or harm?...these are some of the issues that seperate many into party affiliation. Do some thinking on the big issues and pick your candidate! Holla!
