Yep, that's right. Even though I've had a lot of fun posting political blogs lately and sharing my point of view, it is turning my blog into something I don't want it to be - a place where anonymous commentors can call Republicans idiots and hicks, and my Dad can be termed a racist (and I do apologize to whoever thought that - they are his thoughts, not mine. However, never once has my dad mentioned race in any of his comments. He is just a very conservative man who doesn't like the liberal point of view, as well as people who thrive off of entitlements - race has nothing to do with it. If I thought his comments were racist, I would never have accepted them and posted them on my blog).
So, I will now be returning back to what I originally wanted this blog to be about - my family. It seems like my readership has expanded more than I will know by writing about politics, and I'm sad to lose that, but again, a family blog should be happy and fun, not mean-spirited and judgmental. Thanks for putting up with me for the last few posts, and I hope you will all keep reading! :) -Ash

You're blog background is so stinkin cute! Where'd you get it???
I always love reading your blog. I feel smarter and more educated after I do. I hope that he will prove us all wrong and do a great job, but we will see. I LOVE all your recent blogs. It seems a little unfair when you can't put your own opinion and beliefs on your blog.
It is too bad that there are people that feel like just because this is the internet they can get away with saying things.
I love reading your blog and being more informed - maybe you start a political blog and make it private :)
Very cute blog background by the way!
Hey such a small world. I was checking up on my blogs and then doing a little blog hoping and I found your blog. Hope you don't mind. I grew up with Heidi Moline/Jarrett. I haven't seen you in a while. Hope you don't mind that I look at your blog.
Liberal views are often not thought out. Racism is the only rebutal they have and that is most likely why people have called you a racist.
A Conservative Friend
No... I don't think I will keep reading.
Just kidding, sister!!
You know what?! Those people are a load of crap - you should be able to post whatever you want on your blog without worrying about being judged or anything else.
Forget them - anyway, I liked what you had to say and I agree with Heidi, I felt more informed after reading it - maybe you'll have to jump on the bandwagon (I think I'm planning on doing it too) and go private just to avoid ridiculous people like that.
