Strange

I noticed that Pat Robertson is endorsing Rudy for President. Hmm. It seems that the leader of CBN is highly concerned about terrorism and the threats all around. Abortion and Gay rights have taken a backseat which surprises me coming from the 700 Club.

Nate and I spent the evening working on a schedule for me. I have been REALLY struggling these last few weeks to keep all the balls in the air. The kids have been neglected and I've been in a slump, so Nate has graciously agreed to help me see where I need more structure in my day, and where I can fit in things like talking on the phone and blogging. I am not very good at self motivation so this should give me a little kick start.

Evan is sick with a fever today, so far nothing else seems to be bothering him.

On the cooking front, today was potato soup day. It was a blustery cold day and that calls for potato soup. You can really dress up potato soup but I prefer it simple, just onions, celery, garlic (of course) and potatoes. I do use whole milk to make it nice and creamy.

-- is this why you never call me 'cause you can't fit yakking on the phone with me in your schedule?
-- ask Nathan to help schedule in a call with me once in awhile. :P

I was surprised too about Pat Robertson. I would have thought he would back Huckabee or Romney until atleast after the primaries. However, maybe he’s tired of all these “prolife” politicians that do nothing about it, but make empty promises to keep the evangelical vote. But still, Gulliani? He scares me all the way around, too pro-war for me, so I definitely won’t be voting for him, if he’s the republican candidate.

I was quite shocked about Pat Robertson's endorsement also. Could he have picked a more liberal Republican? That's just strange and so much for any standards he might have had. I didn't hear his news briefing but I don't understand how he could justify his decision.

I know what you mean, I was so surprised by his endorsement. There are certainly better candidates that represent christian values. On the other hand like Tia suggested there are a lot of people spouting off phrases like pro marriage and pro life but have no backbone to make a difference. I am getting increasinly annoyed by politics and politicians. This may be the first time I don't exercise my right to vote for a president unless I do a write in vote. I will give kudos to Rudy for cleaning up NY and the way he handled 9/11 but really is he the best choice to be endorsed by the CBN. Yikes Pat what are you thinking?

If I catch the 7:00PM Delta shuttle I should be able to make it to your house in time for leftovers. It is soup weather in DC today that's for sure! It is cold and blustery!

If you have me over for dinner in December I will bring some Chesapeak Bay Crabs and we can swap-"Soup for Bay Crabs"-sounds like a good time to me.

Oh Warren you have a deal.

If it comes down to only RG on the ballot against HC, my vote will have to be a defensive vote.

Yesterday's weather called for Extra Hot Texas-Style Chili at our house.

Tia Lynn said...

Yeah, if it came down to RG or HC, I think I might vote for an alternative party. However, if it came down to RG or Obama, I think I might vote for Obama. Don’t stone me people! :)

josh and i have only caught democratic coverage (debates)so far... and josh liked obama the whole way through, on the most recent one. now he wants to investigate mr juliani a little more.he lived under romney's leadership in mass and wasn't so thrilled, even though i think he voted for him. i have never been very political, but i must say of all the democrats at the debate... the guy who actually admitted that he believed that he'd actually seen a UFO...gets my separate vote for the most honest canidate at least..:) his name is dennis somebody (ksininch or something like that... he had josh and i both cracking up..he's intense to say the least) i think obama and edwards are gonna hook up if either one takes the ballot. gotta any good quick political sites to check for voter info.

Hey Christy. Try onetheissues.org. It is a bipartisan site that contains information on ALL the candidates: all their quotes and voting records on every issue. It is a helpful resource. My favorite candidate across party lines is Mike Huckabee, and I will vote for him in the primaries, but I don’t think he’ll become the republican nominee...sigh. If Obama was pro-life, I would whole-heartedly support him, I like him best on the democratic side and over every other republican besides huckabee. But since most like both candidates will be pro-choice, I will most likely vote for the one whose economic policies will reduce the number of abortions, and that's not gonna be the republican candidate.

I mispelled the site name, sorry! the site is:
