I have thought long and hard about posting this but I really needed to get these feelings out as they have been nagging me for weeks and have been made worse by the Mayor of New York trying to change policies that were put in place and voted on.
I am very upset with the American Government lately. I am very fortunate I have not been effected by the Wall Street crisis or the Mortgage Crisis. G and I are in some of the best financial shape we have been in years. I did not believe in the Mortgage bailout or the Bailout of Wall Street. I do understand they were necessary but this could of been prevented.
I am very upset with the amounts of money being spent by the Republican and Democratic parties this election this blows my mind do you know how much help that would give the school systems of the country or Medicare or the seniors of this country i is absolutely disgusting in my opinion. I personally believe that each party should be given X number of dollars and that is it.
I am sick of hearing people bad mouth John McCains service record, Barack Obama's not being ready to be president (heck the DNC nominated hims so we have no choice if he is elected), I am sick of hearing about Sarah Palin having a baby with Downs Syndrome and a pregnant daughter (yeah like she is the only person in the country dealing with this) I haven't heard much about Joe Biden but that is just how he is, he flies under the radar. I am sick of hearing of who did what and who supported what and who voted for what. I honestly believe all the candidates Suck and I don't really relate with any of them that is just me. I have been researching and reading all I can about all of them so I can make an informed decision. I am not relying on what the parties tell me because lets be honest that is all about advertising and advertising lies all the time. Whether it is about dish-washing soap or who is running for president. They only tell you the good.
Whomever becomes president is going to have a difficult time uniting this country. If you want change I honestly think it has to come from Congress. Both the Senate and the House have huge problems with partisanship and lets be honest they run the government not the President. If you have a Democrat President the congress generally shifts to a Republican Congress if you have a Republican President the Congress Shifts to a Democratic Congress. The government was set up this way for a system of Checks and Balances. While it is nice that the candidates have agendas if congress doesn't back them their ideas go nowhere.
I hope everyone who can vote does go vote because it is a privilege to vote and I hope everyone reads about their local governments and just not the presidential election. This is one of the most valuable rights we have and remember if you don't vote you shouldn't complain about what is happening in the country.
If I offended anyone that was not my intention. My only intention was to get some of my feelings out of me and on paper.
Also I am not really interested in hearing who you are voting for Sorry I believe that should be private and should not cause arguments.
I promise tomorrow will be a happier subject.
