The Republican convention was full of speeches of hope, of those who started out with almost nothing and made something for themselves and their children and hope for America's future added in. Many would be tempted to say what huee, pointing out among other things that Senator Rubio's father ran away from Batista, before Castro, and Bain Capital was backed by the death squads from El Salvador. But the Republicans are right America badly needs hope.

However, what about the hope that one of the richest Americans in the world Bill Gates organizes with other rich people to want to pay their fair share in taxes, or the hope that a dirty tater-clothed abused child,

Oprah Wintfrey, is in a country where she can become a media magnet, while helping many ordinary Americans ploy though the many problems of their lives, while she spends her money helping many home and abroad in making something of themselves. Or the hope of a homeless mother,

Cheri Honkala, found a niche helping other homeless people find shelter so successfully that she is now the Vice Presidential candidate under the Green Party. A party where Jill Stein is the Presidential candidate that will make this an America that one can be truly proud of more than even right after World War II ended.

But I can't completely leave out what is ominous. Right-wing Cubans would cheer the kind of help that the Iraqi government in exile talked America into doing, to overthrow Saddam, than hate us afterwords. Romney would also overthrow Iran in the process, and wants to argue with Russia again.

The Green Party truly represents hope but Obama now represents a sober understanding that a Romney world of much more military adventure could be tragic for this country if not much of the world as well.

So Obama's now 9% lead over Romany in Pennsylvania gives me hope that it will still be over 5% lead a week before election day so I can proudly vote for real hope for America, Jill Stein, and I am hoping that Obama's lead will be over 5% in many of the other states as well so many other Americans can vote for an America one can truly be proud of.

One thing I think Romney is right about when the subject of legalizing drugs comes up. He warns never to legalization Meth. And I think he is right but the Republican high is like pure Meth. The drug cartels that are shooting up Mexico are high on Meth. Germany scientists invented Methedomene and Hitler was proud that a super race invented a super drug to make super man even more super. He and the SS were as high as a kite and free meth was available in every factory in Nazi Germany and pumped on the soldiers as well.

Lets have hope and pride that we live in a state where Obama's lead is over 5% and hope that we can be proud that most of the rest of the country will wake up where most of the country doesn't have to sober up and choose between the lesser evil after all.

I hope and expect to be proud of my vote for President of election day, and in local elections where a third party isn't available vote for the better Democrat but picking in some race one Republican to vote for, and I proudly expect to be able to talk many of my fellow Americans to do the same. But I won't be proud unless I convince at least 10 unregistered Americans or without picture voting ID to get them and be inspired to vote and I hope and expect to convince everyone I inspire to do the same.

See one can be high without snorting themselves up with Romney Meth.
