I am a bit terrified.
I finally got the chance to watch the VP debate from last week -& I am terrified at what this country may become.
Obama runs under the banner of hope; well, I've had hopes crushed before in elections & I just don't know what I'd do this time around.
Americans can't be that stupid, can they? To even make sense of half of the basic sentence structures of Sarah Palin -the blatant lies and absolutisms thrown out by the McCain campaign.
All these years I hid from politics, I hid out the fear of America disappointing me time and time again. The climate -political, economic and social- in this world and this nation is horrifying.
I will not be able to sleep well for a long time, I know this.
