Well here we are again, another election year. And things are running about par for the course (just like two years ago),indeed Mr. Obama is campaigning much like in the last election... guess someone forgot to tell him he won, he is the president, but all that aside, we need to remember as we go to cast our ballot/s that we need to make ourselves aware of the issues and the realities.
Do not pull the lever for the guy you think is “coolest” or the girl who is the “hottest” instead when you vote, vote to the issues. Don’t vote based on party or appearance or even feeling, vote based on what is right.
Too many times we seem to get caught up in the idea that I have to vote for_______________ because I registered as a ______________.
That is not true.
I would actually encourage every one out there to go watch the Kevin Costner movie “Swing Vote” before voting themselves. your vote CAN make a difference.*
So cast your ballot for the one who will do what is right. If you can look at the way your candidate/s have voted before. Did he/she vote the way YOU would vote?
What does s/he say? More importantly what does he/she DO? (actions speak louder than words!) I do not care if someone claims to be against taxes, did that person increase taxes? Then what was said is moot.
Look at the candidates! Don’t be taken in by the hyperbole. You will hear candidates of both sides telling you how evil their opponents are; and even if there is any truth to what is being said it will be blown out of proportion, like the candidate who wants to cut taxes and eats eggs for breakfast… it will be said “he/she supports defunding the army and eats baby chickens!!! OOOHHHH THOSE POOR BABY CHICKENS!!!” find out the truth, please, this year look at what they represent, look at the real issues.
*Yes I know that as a movie that would be a FICTIONAL account therefore it is NOT REAL. But that is the thing that CAN happen even though it is fictional. A guy once observed that “The thing about fiction is it has to stick with what COULD happen to be believable, truth does not.”
Still don’t believe? Study what happened to make Texas a state.
