Election Draws Near....
I was posting on another blog in reply to other student's in class and I really liked what I had to say. Wow! That was really conceited of me.. What I mean to say is that my idea about being neither right wing conservative, nor far left liberal was expressed well. My thoughts were... " I think that our political system is a joke (although I would have no idea how to improve it). Our campaigns cost so much and each party understands the psychology of our society and they all just say what will get them elected. We citizens really have no idea exactly how things work in DC and what decisions will be made. Again, who's to say the president will even make much of a difference on any issue. I am also in the middle on many issues and I believe that I have a right to clearly state what I feel about the issues, even if I am not a right wing conservative or left liberal. We, in the middle, are just not afraid of admitting that we have no idea what the best decision would be for our whole country. Being severely left or right is the same thing that is wrong with 'religion'. They think that their's is THE ONLY WAY to be. Sorry, but this world is too big to have 1 religion or 1 political party be THE ANSWER." (please note: I think religion and political parties do allows us an established basis for direction-thought/laws/morals and that is good-I am ranting about the extremes and close minded aspects) That rant, I thought, deserved a space on my blog and so there it is. Please share with me how you feel as this election date arrives in just a few days.

I feel we need to elect a president who will activate unity among people and not division. We need a president that will bring people with different ideas and work together and find a common ground.
I agree and I would love to hear how either candidate will do this. I haven't heard either of them explain 'how' this will occur. They all 'talk' a lot, but I am missing a lot of the logistics of this. If you have heard a clear explanation of what either president will do for our country beyond 'inspiration' and 'taxes' please share with me.
I really liked your thoughts! Good job.
I think that if everyone stopped to realize that we all want the best for our country and the world we could find some common ground. It would help to acknowledge to each other that we differ in our approach, but our goals are similar. Then we could start to collaborate and find some solutions that can satisfy most people. I hope the winners AND the losers of this race can see that. And I don't just mean the candidates - I mean their followers, too. We seem SO divided right now. A lot of healing needs to take place.
