My Quick Delve Into Politics

My Background: I was raised in a hard-core Republican family. After I left my fathers nest, I ventured out on my own to see what life was like making my own choices. All of what I'm about to say here is very much based on the life I've lived and things I've seen and been through over the years. I do not (because of my beliefs) call myself either Democrat or Republican. At best, I suppose, I am closer to Independent.


I never greatly understood the concept itself of politics. I understand there are some people in the Senate or Congress that love being in control. If I were to EVER (which that is very unlikely) become a politician, I would definitely NEVER act like those idiots in there now. Take Idaho Republican Senator Larry Craig for example. No one really cares if you are or aren't gay. You are supposed to be doing a job, and last I checked, that job didn't involve making sexual advances in a mens room. Another thing, even if you aren't gay, you do realize that mainstream Dems will fall for anything, so USE all this. Your only chance of getting re-elected now is to jump on the Pro-Gay Ballot and ride it straight to Hell.


Moving right along now. I am very pissed at whoever that stupid GOP biotch was on the O'Reilly Factor tonight. Fighting against raising Minimum Wage. She ought to be shot for that. She'd have a completely different view if her job wasn't salary-based, as well as if it were a lower-end job (between minimum wage and $10 an hour).
Do the math with me people. A family of 3 (mom, dad, one kid) is struggling with their bills. Their bills being the normal ones. Food: $300/mo, phone: $65/mo, electric: $100, water/sewer: $40, cable: $35, internet: $35, cell phone: $70, house payment: $300, car payment: $210, car/home/life/health insurance: combined total $255, etc. Add up how much that costs normally please (just those for this example) and then take into consideration Dad only makes $7 per hour full-time, Mom makes minimum wage part-time. Per month Mom makes about $400 take home pay, Dad makes about $850 take home pay monthly. All those bills add up to $1,510 paid out per month. Combined, they only make $1,250. And you wonder why we want to raise minimum wage? You stupid rich people, you'll never see past your own money-filled butt hole. Not everything is about YOU after all.

I don't support a lot of the things that are supported by everyone else. I am pro-life, yet believe in gay Americans being left alone. I am all for banning gay marriage, yet I want to raise minimum wage. As I've stated, I'm probably closer to an Indy.
