Ralph's got my vote!
Here today I am trying out an embedded video in my blog post, and just write some of my impressions from this episode of The Simpsons. Ralph Wiggum, one of the funniest characters in The Simpsons was written in as candidate in a recent episode. Barring from his age, would Ralph make a good candidate? Well, his answer to immigration, "Stranger Danger", is seemingly innocent, but beneath it lurks a more sinister tone. Stranger danger is what a child is supposed to yell when confronted with someone who they do not recognize.
Pure racism can wear a sneaky disguise, in the form of an 8 year old boy! Basically, strangers, or immigrants, are dangerous in his eyes. Sadly, most Americans feel the same way. I believe the best thing to do in this situation is if they are already here, let's make them citizens, have them pay taxes, and help drive more dollars into our economy and government. Now, if you have committed a crime, I believe you should be deported, but that there should be a scale to this. That's just my two cents.
Wear the Wig!
As a Republican, I am deciding between Huckabee and McCain. Maybe it is finally time for McCain to shine. Hopefully, soon I will be able to break down the likenesses and differences between the two, so I can Rock the Vote!

Huckabee? As long as I have known you I can see why but I can't see why - Do you really feel that he would be able to make this country a better place - I check your blog once a month and had to leave a comment this time - Its your cousin Robert by the way - Hope all is well
That's part of what I am talking about. More than likely I would line up with his ideals, but in reality, I would think McCain could actually lead the country. Glad someone reads my blog. I don't update it as much as I should though. Glad to know you're doing alright.
