Election Day
The day is here, it has finally come. It is time to elect a new President of the United States.
Who will you be voting for?
I do not consider myself a democrat, and although I can have some conservative thoughts when it comes to balancing the budget and wasteful spending of tax dollars, I am a Libertarian.
However, I have learned my lesson from the past and have decided to vote Democrat this go round and will be voting for Barack Obama. Why? If I went into some long diatribe about it, it wouldn't make a difference here, or anywhere. The reasons do not really even matter anymore.
The race is not just between Barack Obama and John McCain, but I really feel if I do not vote for one of those candidates I may be allowing a room for margin that would allow John McCain to snatch the Presidency, simply because of split and decisive voters placing votes for candidates who basically have no chance of winning.
At first I really thought I would vote for Obama simply because I felt he would do a better job than McCain. But after watching McCain's nasty election campaign, the way his party has used racist images and propaganda, I am now going to vote Obama, to vote AGAINST McCain. I place my vote with Barack Obama because I like him, but also because now I do NOT want McCain to win. I feel he will do more harm than good to this country.
At first I thought both candidates were running a nice campaign, but then McCain's advertising became so nasty, the local Republicans running for office started bashing Obama in their local ads and it just got worse and worse. That is not something that sways people like me to their side of the argument.
As I said, it's too late for reasons, it's time to vote. It's time to put your money where your mouth is and pull the crank. Flick the switch, pull the lever. Take the ride.
It's going to be a long day for some people, and I can't wait to see the results.
