This was originally my comment on my cousin's blog that got so long I decided, heck I'll post it as a blog itself. This is my statement of how I feel about politics right now, and NO! I don't want to discuss it with you, k? That said, feel free to comment, because I won't play along any other time:
Truth be told, yeah there are some liberals (and some conservatives) that have done their research, but there seem to be a lot of people that are sucked into Obama's "I will bring CHANGE,..." "Change, change, change, CHANGE!" - I hear this change stuff is good, but then again I don't know what kind of change Obama's planning on making. My point here is, people get sucked into Obama's ambiguous vortex of "change" and act like he is going to save the world. As a christian it makes me really uncomfortable to see people in the crowds at his rallies with tears rolling down their faces. He's not God. It just makes me feel really eerie; I don't like it.
But to me, McCain is the lesser of two evils, in all honesty. Would've rather had a different republican on the ballot, but I guess I'd say the choice of Palin for V.P. helped seeing as she is probably more conservative than him.
Now, i haven't watched the debates and said I wouldn't, but I'm reconsidering because up until now, all I've heard about are the politics: "oh no Palin's daughter is pregnant" "Obama's covering up the fact that he was once, or possibly still is a Muslim"... as opposed to the straight forward talk about ISSUES. I want to know what this supposed change is that now BOTH parties are promising.
But like I said, from what I've seen of Obama early on in his campaign while McCain was hiding away in a closet somewhere, I don't like him. And maybe the government can't solve all our problems, but if you vote Obama, he's sure as hell going to try. I don't know about the rest of the US, but I'm damned blessed to be born here and I think our system is unique and should be kept that way. If anyone wants a nice socialist country, don't drag the US down, go move to Switzerland or France, and soak it up...because that [socialism] is one direction I'm sure it won't take long for Obama to start promising to head.
Oh and as for gov. run health care, just ask anyone who's lived in Canada for years how GOD AWFUL their system is. It'll make you think twice about implementing that in our lovely country.
Loving the omnipotent "CHANGE" !
