I would like to propose that everyone take a moment and pay a bit of attention to what is happening as we make our way to the polls this November.

Understanding that not everyone is paying attention, I submit that what the helpful media is making us really aware of is that the Republicans are blatantly lying through their teeth while maintaining that they aren’t and that they are without sin.

While dealing with that reality alone, it scares me to death that if they can look us right in the face and substantiate their statements and attitudes, what will they do if elected to power?

God have mercy on all of us, including those of us who are paying attention, those who aren’t, and those who just don’t seem to care.
