I was going to blog about how good I've been feeling lately, but this morning that all seemed to go down the tubes. So instead, I'd like to share a very interesting article that Hub sent to me. It was one of those rare things that almost literally causes me to squint from the glare of the lightbulb that has just gone on above my head. The psychologist who wrote it is very liberal, but his viewpoints on the differences between conservative and liberal thinking and how we can bridge the gap between the two beneficial stances is fascinating.
Please enjoy: What Makes People Vote Republican?
As a footnote, I'd like to add that Snopes has gotten a lot of my readership lately with some of the claims that have been flying around about the candidates. Please research before hitting forward. Please research the issues thoroughly (and not by watching the Ads or the candidates themselves) before you decide on your candidate. We cannot afford ignorance.

wow. just read that entire article. That was very interesting & eye opening.
It was wasn't it?!
I'm impressed by the article Barb and am sharing it with all my political friends. I'm sorry you are feeling down again after feeling good. I hope the tide turns back. And you are strongly right about the importance of checking out the candidates real positions and not just popping off in reaction for or against.
Thank you for your nice comment on my blog. I hope you feel better soon. I also read the "What Makes People Vote Republican" article, good stuff, thanks to you and hub for sharing. Your vote in Florida will count for Alot this election. I lived in FLA x 8 years, don't miss the bugs or humidity, but sure miss the soft air. Best to you, thanks again, Martha
soft air - great way to describe it. love it. Thanks!
Wow, interesting article.
A bit wordy, so let me summarize for those who don't have time to read the whole thing:
If you have your act together, have at least half a brain, you will vote Democratic.
hahaha Vince. I like your summary, but don't discount the benefits of a more conservative way of thinking or his message that Democrats sometimes need to get their heads out of their asses. ;)
So looking forward to reading the article and love the direction if Vince's summary is any indication of the content.
Ah, finally I get to read this.
Sorry you haven't been feeling great. I hope that turns around.
Thanks for this!!
Welcome Jamie :)
