Ok, I've Had It

Some days I wonder why I get on facebook except to play games. Today is one of those days. I happened to see some snide comments about the new memorial in the Streator City Park. Usually I would just ignore them and move on, but not today. For some reason all of the whining and bitching and political crap is getting to me. I have had it !  The government worker who made the comment should thank God they're not working 16 hour days for 6 days a week like their predecessors did in a coal mine or glass plant. Go look up and read about the history of the labor movement and learn about the people who DIED to get you the rights that you enjoy today. And before you start, I was a UAW shift steward for 7 years and a bargaining committee member for 2 years. I attended the UAW leadership workshops every summer. So I know how unions work.  So all I ask is just respect the people who came before you, and dedicated their lives to making yours easier.
     Before I fall off the soapbox, is the election over yet ? It cant come soon enough. I made the mistake of watching the first lady's performance last night. As they showed the audience members with tears in their eyes, I must say I was crying too. From laughing so hard my ribs hurt. Now you expect me or any intellegent person to believe  that a Harvard-educated lawyer who met his wife while working at a law firm, drove a car with rusted out doors, with holes you could see the road through ? Oh and dont forget that his most prized possession was a coffee table he found in a dumpster. Really ? I wonder if he has that with him in the white house . Oh and would someone please check to see if his shoes fit properly !  I am SO glad that Barry knows how the riffraff livesand is able to sympathize with you..as long as you vote for him. Now. I really dont care how much money Mitt Romney has or how he got it. I don't care what bank its in. And I dont care that Ann Romney hasnt worked a day in her life..really ? I'm not voting for Ann or Michelle,so leave them out of it. The last two candidates wouldny be where they are today without money. They are BOTH rich.  To continue talking about the evil rich is ridiculous. I cant wait to see what kind of crap comes up on facebook in this last couple of months before the election. Having been called vile and disgusting nd a liar hasnt changed my opinions or beliefs one bit. Maybe I'm just too hard-headed. Or maybe I'm just too smart.
