I sat in the Mesa High School auditorium, looking everywhere for a familiar face. I see no one I know, just a sea of white haired white people. You know, the kind of people you see on TV that attend the town halls and tea parties. Yes, they are my kind of people. I wish there was a bigger cultural showing, but there's not! I'm there to attend the John McCain Townhall meeting. I am torn about who to vote for: John McCain or J.D. Heyworth. They are both conservative Republicans and I've been kind of mad at McCain, but he's been changing his tune back to my song lately, so I wanted to hear what he had to say.
The backdrop of a huge American flag on the stage made me very happy, but 5, 10, then 15 minutes after 11:00 went by and no John. Then finally, a large crowd come in late and they announced John McCain and surprise.....Mitt Romney!
Many questions, many agreements of position and attitudes, but really no answers. The best part of the whole 45 minutes was an older gentlemen speaking with a very thick Russian accent, "I didn't think this Mesa High auditorium could hold the people that I thought would show to see Mitt Romney and John McCain. But I look around and the place is not full! What is the matter with people? Why aren't they concerned and worried?" He continued his story. "I came to America to leave Communism and Socialism. Don't people realize that our country is turning that direction? I have lived under that rule and NEVER want to experience it again!" (Audience applause was huge).
I still haven't made a decision for the Senate race, even though I did get to shake hands with John McCain. But for President-- Mitt Romney for sure!!
