One of my biggest pet peeves is lying, it's the one thing my kids know will definitely, without a doubt, get them punished for. As far as rules, go I'm a pretty lenient Mom. I've got rules about where my kids go, when and who they go with - and I've got rules about lying. Don't lie to me. I don't care if you think you're sugar coating something that will make me feel bad or get angry - believe me I'll survive and get over it. Just don't lie. My husband and I try to teach our kids that honesty and your beliefs are what build your character, make you a decent human being, give you a good name as you go through life. (Yes, people will tell you I am honest to a fault - I won't lie to you if your new haircut sucks or if your make-up reminds me of bozo-the-clown :twisted: ) But - the sad fact is everyone does it. So how do I tell my kids I'm going out today to vote for a man I hope might lie to us the least? How do I tell my kids that our politicians will tell us anything we want to hear to get elected and then just listen to special interests with the money and power - not the average middle class joes like us? It's getting harder and harder to teach my kids the value of honesty, when all they see is corruption, power and lies - and people coming to power and making a boat load of money by lying to the rest of us. So whatever side of the fence you find yourself on today - please go out and vote for the man you believe will lie to us the least - the one you think may help our economy, keep our kids and our country safe against terrorism and who represents the best of what our country came be.
