52 Weeks: Week 5

Midterm Elections: yeah, I voted! In the past, I've been known to miss elections, even the big ones. Not anymore! AND...everyone would be surprised to know that I didn't vote straight Republican this time. I used to be SO conservative! Even though I am becoming more liberal in many ways, I refuse to be pigeon-holed into one particular party. Actually, I HATE partisian politics! I wish a third, more moderate party was a realisitic choice. I can side with lefties on things and vehemently disagree with them on others. The same can be said for the right. I am ME...NOT a party or a group, and I refuse to spew the rhetoric of either side. Having said that, anything that gets women elected to powerful positions is almost always a good thing! I was THRILLED to see the first female Speaker of the House appointed! Her party is irrelevant, in my opinion. Just get more women in there! There SHOULD be at least 50% females in Congress, on the Supreme Court and IN THE WHITE HOUSE!! I choose to believe that the 21st Century will be seeing MANY women being appointed to MANY high powered positions. This is only the beginning! :)
