I again repeat, I am thankful that I live in America. I am a professional and there is no reply to rhetoric. I only engage in meaningful, thoughtful, respectful comments.

And I am not scared. I am a political science graduate and I do not hide. This is America and no one shall easily stop me from exercising my Constitutional rights. I am a taxpaying, educated American v**er. I speak my t***h proudly. And if I am misinformed, I woman up and admit and apologize. But on the up side, every time the Republicans make some embarrassing mis-statement, I know I will have at least a weeks work with their polls, of which many are so poorly written as to be borderline literate. I guess their poll writers did not bother to learn in school. Because at their age, they, like myself got an excellent public education. Those days are gone. An uneducated, unthinking public is easily manipulated by fear. I forget who said that originally. I would like to give credit to the person who said it. Our only hope is to make changes from within. History has proven violent demonstrations don't really matter. Who cares if some groups destroy their private property or neighborhoods. Not me. My hood is not like that and neither is anyone I know.

Since Thursday I have become one of many casualties of the Sequestration in the form of having my unemployment benefits reduced. I supported a family of 3 on just over 9 thousand last year and now this is just too much. I have been writing for months directly to the GOP National Committee and today three times. I also just wrote to the Oregon representatives asking them to please do what they can to stop the cuts that even the Washington Post states were never ever intended to become reality by our founding fathers. I thank my God daily that I live in a country where I can at least voice my beliefs in a professional way. Just about everyone I know is out of work here. We are all college educated with years of experience whose companies went bankrupt. I have informed the GOP that I shall never ever v**e for any Republican candidate for the rest of my life. It has taken over half a century for me to make such a statement. In my opinion, my generation don't have enough natural life left to see all 80 percent of the ignorant, uninformed, out of touch with reality eventually die of old age. Hopefully my kids will see more common sense. I never thought I would live to see our elected officials behave so petulantly and juvenile in their stubbornness. I guess they really believe some miracle will occur and change the thoughts of all Americans. And they are scared, I conduct polls and believe me the GOP is lost. They are proposing absurd public persons in a pathetic attempt to gain relevance. Well, I know this, a week before the 2012 e******n over half the people claiming to be v****g for the GOP candidate stated they had no idea who Paul Ryan was, never heard of him was what I heard. Wow. I made a pretty funny joke about the news bit that stated 80% of N.Y. graduates could not read. Professionalism prevents me from revealing the punch line.
