USA

For the last two weeks I have been watching the Democrat and Republican conventions. I’m not hear to bash any of them, but just here to post my observations.

As far as my background, I was never much into politics. I never understood it and was never really interested in it except in the last 4 years.

I don’t know to tell you how the last 4 years have been as far as our economy and foreign policies has turn out under our current administration. Now that I have a family, a job, a home, etc. more of what happens in the government impacts me.

Since this year’s elections started I have paid more attention to each side’s plans and policies. I could care less about their family life or character. I want to know what they are going to do for us, for America.

So I listened to each candidate’s convention. I see how the candidates speak and sway its supporters. I look at the supporters unscripted reactions. I have to think and wonder where these people come from. Looking at both sides, it looks like we have two different Americas.

It’s kinda scary because it’s almost like a cult. One side chants as if they are the only ones in America, no one else matters, and their “stuff” doesn’t stink.

Republicans think Obama has empty promises and has no experience. Democrats do not want more of the same with McCain siding with Bush 90% of the time. There are more issues of course, but these are the one that stick out in my mind the most.

Now that I’m paying more attention to the election I am beginning to reflect on my own beliefs and discover which candidate most aligns with my beliefs. Although I may not agree with any of them 100% of the time, it’s like picking the less of two evils.

I really hope that we can come together no matter who wins the election.
