Why is a middle class white woman so angry? Well, let's see. NAFTA was passed, companies that moved their jobs overseas received tax breaks. The hard working American worker was left begging for jobs. Bush declared war against those whose politics and religious beliefs were different. The economy is in a non-stop landslide, totally ignored by the Bush administration. Families, mostly hardworking, are losing their homes. Jobs are unavailable. A "Stimulus Rebate" is suppose to fix this, IF we get one, we'll be getting the groceries, meds, and paying up heating bills, not buying extravagant items! I know from experience just how little my vote counts. Ever since the Gore popular win was overturned by the Electoral College, I've known better, let the young ones kid themselves as much as they want, their vote does not count.. Those of us without big incomes, that can't afford to back a candidate, just want to scream. We're frustrated because this is the only voice we have, and no-one listens. Big money has the only voice anyone listens to. The day is long gone, when a young man from a poor family can even dream of being in politics (ie Abraham Lincoln). And no, Obama is not a Lincoln. The anger just grows with the frustration, and you get tired of no-one listening. Now congress wants to cut back on Medicare. I hope they don't have parents that they care about. My generation put men on the moon, fought the Korean war, created much of the electronic toys everyone takes for granted. HELLO! ANYONE LISTENING?

your vote does not count,we the people need to learn how the system works.Lesson 1.The Electoral College and A primary election (nominating primary),runs the same way as first caucus and primary election.Super Delegates and Delegates have the say so not you the person.

I'm a older adult, who loves cats, and tolerates differences, just don't push them in my face. I'm into electronics, good books, music. Mainly Swing and classical and classic jazz, though I have been known to lend an ear to Elvis, and Buddy Holly:). I must admit that I'm an agnostic, extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. And I require proof. My main specialty is computer circuitry. Mostly building and inspecting it, now I'm having the fun of using it, and learning more every day. From staring through a 20 power scope at a microscopic unit, to blogging. How 'bout that.
