Politics

Oh boy... here comes a touchy subject if there is any

I'm a registered Democrat. The MAIN reason I became a Democrat is because my parents were and I was lead to believe that it was against my best interest to vote Republican. NOW, i choose to be a Democrat (in general). They are in my mind.. the lesser of 2 necessary evils on most topics and usually correspond with my personal beliefs on what is more important in life.


There are always going to be problems with every candidate that tried to go into office. Every single person has some stand or POV on a topic that I disagree with. The choices are usually few and far between but you must do your best to choose wisely.

I remember the Clinton era. He was a good president but a horrible father/husband with very crappy morals ( ..."I did not have sex with that woman..." ). BUT that is exactly what people do not understand... he had crappy morals... he was a shitty human being... but He did MANY great things for the country ( such as eliminate the national debt.... which should be more of a focus than it currently is...). You do not have to like the person in office so long as they are doing their job.

I am now living through the Bush era... He seems like he was morals (though he blatantly used the idea that he wouldn't raise taxes to get into office yet he did anyways.... twice...) is a good family man and a good Christian. BUT his complete ignorance and numerous bad judgements have put this country into a time of relative ultimate lows...

Elections are coming soon....

Heres my piece of advice... Dont blindly listen to your parents, friends, or family and follow what they do. Do a little research for yourself. Decide whats important to YOU and what candidates take stands on topics that correspond with what you need. (aka If you really dont care about abortion... then whether or not the candidate is pro-choice or not shouldn't matter...)

That being said, here are the things that matter to me...

• Economy and National Debt/Budget
• Education
• Soldiers not dying in faraway lands for no apparent reasons
• Health Care
• Environment
• Immigration

You show me a candidate that puts those things at the top of their list.... I will vote for them (Democrat or not!).
