What I Was Thinking When I Didn't Vote For Hillary - To The Left.

The left keeps telling me what I was or wasn't thinking when I voted, so I wanted to clear up any misconceptions regarding what I was thinking about or over looking.

When I voted, I thought about all of the Middle East Countries and how we haven’t quit warring with them and bombing them. I listened to our President say he would bring peace, not only did he not bring peace he escalated wars, funded both sides and never took his drone activities public. I thought about the refugees and instead of wondering if we should take them in, I wondered why we were involved with bombing them out of their countries. I thought about Hillary’s involvement in that. I thought about the Iran deal, and how we transferred a huge plane full of cash to them. I thought about my huge desire to get out of the wars. I thought about how Hillary was running half on Bernie’s campaign points and half off of Obama’s agenda.

I thought about my son-in-law who did three tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and has difficulty getting medical help from the VA and how there were 7 years to fix that, but none of it was addressed. I thought about how the wars, ineffectively rage forward. And how now we are toying about with Russia, and again, I thought about how many millions of people this Nation has KILLED (not insulted)

I thought about how much I liked Bernie even though I disagreed with some of his politics, and I thought about how the DNC and friends treated Bernie, and how they talked about him and his followers.

I thought about Hillary’s email and her inability to take real responsibility and seemingly to understand the security risk that created. I was angry that although the DNC knew she wasn’t a popular candidate they ran her anyway, and expected to shove her down our throats.

I thought about how I used to have affordable healthcare and now I don’t. I thought about all of the times I mentioned the Healthcare program was damaging me and my friends who are self-employed, and because I disagreed with a “policy” I was called a racist. I hated GWB and nobody ever called me a racist. I like Obama, but disagree with his policy and that gives people a right to question me at the most offensive level?

I thought about how a whole generation is being taught that words are more important that actions and that emotion is more important than intellect.

I thought about my gay daughter and her family and my mixed race Grandson, and how I didn’t want one piece of who they are to be the main focus. Because I believe people are people.

I thought about the Clinton Foundation, all of the money she received from Wall Street, I thought about how her and Bill treated the women who came forward to talka bout Bill's past. I thought about a young Monica who got in over her head. I thought about Bill Cosby and how easy it was to take him down. But Bill and Hillary are still standing.

So, I voted for Gary Johnson. But, I admit if I had to choose between Hillary and Trump. I would have chosen Trump.

Be angry and hurt, unfriend me, lecture me, I am sad you feel hurt, but I stand by my decision.

I wasn’t thinking about the same topics nor viewing them the same way. I value you, and I like you, and I am really sad that you are hurt and angry over the election. I posted this not to make you wrong, but to tell you what I was really thinking when I voted.
