Mother Of Four

I had a nightmare last night...that I didn't vote.

I'm like everyone else, I've had my fair share of falling/running in mud/weird and wacky dreams.

This one though was terrifying in it's simplicity, and it was the first time ever in my life I had one about an election.

Sitting in my living room, drinking coffee with my husband he looks down at his watch. His face goes white and I ask him what's wrong. He looks up at me and answers "It's November 7th...."

I say "Oh god....we didn't vote!" then use the remote to turn on the news.

Up pops Romney, in clips of his victory speech. The ticker underneath scrolling that it was the lowest voter turnout percentage in the history of the United States.

I wake up and have to grab my phone to check the date, thank goodness it was just a dream.

It might not sound scary, but geez...my heart was in my throat. I look at Romney as a parasite, not just someone who has a radically different philosophy. If he wins, I honestly think that his insincere and reptilian ways will start a world war. If not start it, set the stage so there is no way to avoid it in the next ten years. We haven't had nearly enough time to repair our standing with the rest of the word and he will do anything he can to profit. War = profit for republicans.

Just wanted to get that off my chest, and hopefully I'm not the only one angsty enough to have had bad dreams about this.
