Who's your Candidate

So if you know me you know I love politics... I wasn't raised to even know much about them both of my parents have never even voted ... I know it makes me crazy too... I'm sure they wonder where I have gotten the love for politics... SO let me tell you... I have always been interested in them just never knew anyone to educate me further or talk to me about it... Until I meet my mother-in-law she has taught me how the system works and we have countless talks about it... We may not always agree but that's what I like you get a different view of things...

I have many friends who are Republican and Democrat... I think sometimes we get too caught up in which side your on instead of the issues... I have voted on both sides and at times am disappointed by both...This country is in bad shape and we need some major changes...



I was not real impressed with the debates... I didn't see any winning side I think they were equal.. Actually I found it boring... I'm sure Thursday's debate will be good... I don't know about you but I want to hear about thing's that affect most peoples lives... The economy, education, health care ect... I hope we can see these subjects debated before election day...

Picking a candidate is a personal choice and many may not agree with who you choose but that's what's beautiful about our country we are free to choose...Many people have said that Obama isn't experienced enough .. Really though is anyone experienced enough? None of them have held this job ... I think that it's a job you learn on the job ... You never know what will happen the next 4 years.... So what makes you qualified? The petty knit picking over he said she said I find annoying ... I think it would be a great thing to see a different race or gender in the white house but we can't pick based on this ... So the next 5 weeks we really need to think about the future and the things that are important to you... Based on these thing's pick a candidate that is good for you.... As for me I will choose
Barack Obama ... It's okay if you don't agree with me I have made my decision based on my beliefs and what I want for our future ... This doesn't mean I agree with everything he says but he fit's my list better than the rest...

You have listened to the right person..ha ha I hope I've taught you to listen carefully and to both side. Everyone needs to listen to both sides and then vote for who has your interests on the agenda.
Love you,
Your mother-in-law and for Obama

he may not be my candidate, but i still love you!:)i don't really love mccain, but i do believe strongly in small government, small business, and the kind of family values (like traditional marriage) that the republican party endorses.

whatever your party, i do think that it's important to follow politics and to vote according to your conscience. i think part of what makes america great is that we can (usually) agree to disagree and vote for our man or woman--but we'll live with whomever is elected, instead of mobbing and rioting if we don't like the outcome.

long live democracy.
