Raj and I got married 48 years ago today; we were very young. 1972 was a tumultuous presidential election year as well but I didnt understand politics well back then. As I said, I was young, foolish and yes, I voted for McGovern because those were the days and times we were living.
Ive not voted for a Democrat since. Lets hope the incumbent Republican President wins in an even larger landslide than Nixon did then. And God-willing the countys youth will self-educate in the ensuing years and never waste their votes again.
As for me, today is sunny, warm and colorful; Im taking a mental health day. Hope you all have a good one.
The Things You Are To Me
If I held in my hand
Every grain of sand
Since time first began to be
Still, I could never count
Measure the amount
Of all the things you are to me
If I could paint the sky
Hang it out to dry
I would want the sky to be
Oh, such a grand design
An everlasting sign
Of all the things you are to me
You are the sun
That comes on summer winds
You are the falling year
That autumn brings
You are the wonder and the mystery
In everything I see
The things you are to me
Sometimes I wake at night
And suddenly take fright
You might be just fantasy
But then you reach for me
And once again I see
All the things you are to me
You are the sun
That comes on summer winds
You are the falling year
That autumn brings
You are the wonder and the mystery
In everything I see
The things you are to me
All the things you are
to me

I admit it, I voted for McGovern as well...I was also young and foolish and have never voted democrat since. I wasted that first vote, I’m glad Nixon did not need it.
With any luck a guy just grows up, liberals never seem to grow up, they just turn into bigger and bigger babies it seems.
My biggest regret was voting for Carter in 1976. In 1980 my mortgage interest was 13.5%. Plug that into your calculater. My goal is to visit the Carter library to sign the guest book and tell him where to stick it and then leave.
It was obvious to anyone but a complete fool, Barry Goldwater would have been the best President.
The legacy of Lyndon Baines Johnson, the most successful white supremacist in history lives on.
Vermonters, outnumbered by the hippy invaders, were shocked to see the first democrat governor, Hoff, elected since the Civil War.
From the moment I was able to register to vote, until now, I have voted for one democrat, Jerome Diamond, attorney general in Vermont, only because he was honest and his opponent was a crook.
There is no way in hell, from age 18 to now I would vote for any other democrat, and don't like voting for some of the "republicans" (RINOs).
Now this 8th generation Vermonter is a refugee in New Hampshire, trying to help keep NH as it was, the "Live Free or Die" state.
