Politics are everywhere!

Hello again! I'd like to inform you that when reading my blog you will VERY rarely come across any blogs that have anything to do with Politics. Partly because I just don't get that jazzed about politics, and partly because I rarely put my thoughts on politics into any kind of outward expression. But, with the date of the presidential election looming before us and politics on every news channel, every day, no matter what time you tune in, I thought I might as well do just one to get into the mood that everyone else in America seems to be in right now.

I'm not voting this year, but I'm sure it will shock you to hear that I am very much hoping that John McCain and Sarah Palin win this one. And no, it's not because I have a problem with the color of Obama's skin or because I'm close minded. Granted I have not done very much research into our candidates this year (or any year yet :-P), but from what I can tell, the only reasonable, logical choice for president this year is John McCain. I very much admire the fact that he has fought and suffered for his country. It tells me that he obviously cares very much for the things the country stands for, enough to die for them. From what my mother says (I am depending on her knowledge for this one) that he also is experienced in the subject of National Security, which seems pretty important, :-P. I also know that he has a good reputation of sticking to his guns on his Pro-life stance, which is becoming increasingly difficult to do without facing ridicule and pressure from nearly all around you. And I also respect his VP candidate. Shock! I must be against women's rights! Ah, no. I'm very much for them, as long as they don't include taking rights away from other unborn human beings, which is basically the only "Women's Right" I've heard about lately.
The other option this year, Barrack Obama. A positive thing I've heard for him, he's for change. Our country does need some change I think, but I honestly can't figure out what change he's suggesting. I don't know if he's ever said, which I find a little odd. If he is so passionate about giving us change, doesn't he want to talk about it enough to tell us WHAT he wants to change?
There are quite a few negative things I've heard while watching Fox News in our house lately. A couple things are,(1) the (what seems to be) never ending list of bad connections he's had in his life and continues to have. As my grandma put it recently, "Bill Ayers (a unrepentant domestic terrorist), Farrakhan (lunatic and leader of the Nation of Islam), Rev. Wright (his pastor who is a disciple for Black Liberation Theology) to name some prominent associations." I don't know about you, but this troubles me that he would associate with these people. (2) His platform seems to lean heavily to Socialism, which from what I've learned about in history hasn't proved to be a great system for anybody. Not to mention it would slowly start to take away our right to freedom we pride ourselves for here in the United States.
I'm not informed enough on either candidates to say any more on this subject, but I was sitting here thinking today about what to blog about and Politics seemed to not want to leave my mind! You may never see another political blog again on this page but now you can't say I never tried, :).
