Are You Voting Republican or Democrat?

As far back as I can remember my family was
always Republican. (My Mother & Father)

And as far back as I can remember I’d argue with my
parents about how our government messes things up…

Well I finally voted in the 2000 Election and I admit
I voted for Bush. At the time, I really thought he
was going to look out for the people…

Well, as you can see the past 8 years with President
Bush in office have been a total disaster! Heck, even
John McCain only mentioned Bush one time in his speech
the other night during the Republican Convention.

So much for being proud of your president and all the
wonderful things he has done…

With that in mind, does that means I’m voting for Obama?
Hmmm…

As I started writing this post for my blog, my dad
is at the Republican convention having the time of
his life. He loves the republicans and the whole
party. He loves the politics, the energy, the
interaction with friends from all over the country.

(My Step Mom got ill so she couldn’t attend the
convention. Please say a short prayer for her)

Yes, the republicans are lucky to have such a loyal
man on the team…I love that my dad is having so
much fun!

He’d call me after each republicans speech and we’d
debate about it for a few minutes and he’d go back to
the convention…

Well both party’s had conventions…

My father called me on Saturday after the RNC and said
so are you voting for John McCain yet?

I told my dad, I don’t think it really matters much
who actaully wins. My dad couldn’t believe I said that.

I told my dad…
1. For over 30 years I have been hearing both party’s
say that the Tax code was way to complicated and needed
to be simplified, over-hauled or eliminated.

Bottom line - It has just gotten more complicated.
They know it should be changed, but it will never happen.
Actually Ron Paul and Mike Huckabee were the only ones
talking about changing it.

2. For years both party’s have said they needed to
do something about our health care system.

Bottom Line - Nothing has changed - It has gotten worse.
More people are without health care than ever before.

3. For years both party’s have said teachers needed
to be paid more.

Bottom Line - Teachers Pay is still sub par.

4. Since the Nixon administration, (1973) both party’s
have known that the USA has needed to become less
dependent on forign oil…

Bottom Line - We are more dependent now and in worse
position and paying record high prices for gas which
is effecting the entire American economy.

Now both party’s are touting we need to do something.
It’s a little late, don’t cha think?

And now both party’s are saying they are the party
of Change! Really?

In any case…
These are just a few things that came to mind…

My problem is, I still want to beleive that there
are some politicians out there that really want to
help the people.

What do you think?
Republican or Democrat?

I look forward to any of your comments.

Have a Great Day!

Hello People,

TGIF! Yes, Thank God it’s Friday! Yippee!

A freind of mine sent this to me a moment ago and I
thought you may also find it interesting.

But you have to act quick…

Here’s your chance to let the media know where the
people stand on our faith in God, as a nation.

NBC is taking a poll on “In God We Trust” to stay on our
American currency.

Please do it right away, before NBC takes this off the web page
 
Poll is still open so you can vote.

Hi Guys,

I got a call from the Dr. PHil Show!

Yup,that’s right!

Back June 25, 2008 I got a call from my good friend
and Olympic Trainer Scott Sanchez from Maui Hawaui.

He said Dr. Phil was looking for a few “BIG” guys from
Las Vegas that needed and wanted to lose weight, and
to be part of the Dr. Phil Weightloss Challenge Project.

Scott suggested that I apply for the show…
I’d get 6 weeks to totally focus on my health and
weight loss under the supervision trainers…

I auditioned and they called me the very next day saying
they were very interested in my being part of the upcoming
Dr Phil Show…

Are you in need of some Motivation and Inspiration?

Have you been watching the Olympic Games?
If not, you are missing some great stuff.

Think about it, once every 4 years the best of the best in
the world of sports get together to compete.

Some of these athletes have been training for 10-15-20
years to compete in an event that could last less than
60 seconds!

Can you imagine that?
Training most of your adult life to participate in an
event that last less than 60 seconds!

Every athlete competing had to overcome many obsticles
just to get the honor and opportunity to compete in Beijing.

It’s a long road just getting to the Olympic Games and then
additional obsticles once you have arrived here.

The opening ceremony was breath taking!

The open Ceremony had 7ft.6 inch basketball player Yao Ming
from China walked in with this small 9 year old boy from China…

Talk about inspiring…

Turns out this little boy was in the earth quake a few months
ago. Most of his fellow classmates had died during the quake.
After he clawed his way out of the rubble he went back to
pull out 2 of his fellow classmates.

A reporter asked the little boy why he went back into the
rubble? And he replied, “I’m a hall monitor at my school
and that’s my job, to help and protect the other classmates.”

Wow!
Is that inspiring or what!

Now as far as the games, it has been totally thrilling.

How about that Michael Phelps???

He won his first Gold for these games on Saturday…
Then last night, (Sunday) he was in the 4 man relay…

This was one of the most exciting things I had ever seen.
Vickie and I could’nt take our eyes off the TV screen.

The announcer was saying all night that France was going to win
and that the Americans really didn’t have a chance.

Surprise!
The USA won by .02 of a second!

Whatever country you are from, we love watching excellence at
this level. These people are the best of the best.

So during the course of your week, if you need a little
inspiration, turn on the TV and watch the Olympics!

Have a Great Day,
Robby LeBlanc
