Goodbye 2005 - Hello 2006

I had planned to write this a day or two ago... one tends to get side-tracked now and then. Just a few thoughts as we move into 2006.

The war on terror et al: The President said from the very beginning that this war would be fought like no other. Either nobody listened or they had no clue what he meant. He talked about modern technology etc., but alas, nobody listened. The part in Iraq is conventional warfare, as far as conventional goes, but the electronic war being conducted is unlike anything we as a nation have known in the past. Thanks goodness we have a president who understands.

Mid term elections: the republican party does not have much time to turn things around. If they don't, they will see significant losses in there ranks, both in the House and the Senate. It is very apparent to me, the Republicans do NOT know what to do with the power they have. And as for me? Those that are Republican in name only can exit stage right. I don't, and never have, had an issue with a politican who (on principle), makes and stands by a decision... but... those that change with the finger n the air? Take a walk mate... go to the other side where that is standard procedure.

The number one issue in the 2006 elections (in my mind), will be [ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION]. Any policitian not on the correct side of that issue is going to have problems.

I'm fixin to retire and my electric bill went up $20.00 American per month. Arrgh. Is that what they mean by fixed income???

As 2006 begins, I wish for good health, peace on this earth - a strong America, and a President who will not wilt under extreme pressure from his enemes. I am going to enter the new year with a positive attitude..... really.
