Election 08

I'd like to start by saying that, even though I don't think anyone really reads my posts, I'm not trying to push my opinions on anyone. I'm just saying what I think.
First of all, I think that people are stupid to not vote. You may not love John McCain. You may not love Barak Obama. So vote for Hello Kitty if you want to. But there are people (like my dad) who can't vote that are really involved and into politics. There are people who fought for our right to vote. And half the people I know don't even care. I don't give a shit who you vote for, just do it.
I don't know who I'm voting for yet. Everytime I think I've finally made up my mind, I hear something about my chosen candidate that makes me change my mind. For instance, I don't like that Obama is good friends with Bill Ayers. He's this anti-war radical from the 1960's and 1970's. He was a part of this organization called "Weather Underground" which conducted a lot of public bombings. Why the hell would Obama think it would help his "image" to be friends with a man like that? I think it's ridiculous. He is supposed to be THE symbol of the USA as President and he isn't smart enough to avoid association with people who BOMB and injur people in public places? Essentially, Bill Ayers is a terrorist.
And McCain...well I don't really have a problem with him. It's Palin that I've got issues with. I mean I've kind of been raised to make my own choices and be open-minded. I'm pro-choice and I support gay rights. And she does none of those things. She thinks abortion should be illegal, regardless of if you're a 14 year old girl who gets herself pregnant and can't mentally raise a baby. Just because you're physically mature doesn't mean you're prepared. What if you get raped by a family member? Or anyone for that matter...should you be stuck with the consequences? No.
Also, in a recent interview Palin had NO idea what the roles of the VP are...that's scary. McCain isn't exactly young...if he passes away and we're stuck with Palin who has NO IDEA what the roles of the President or Vice President are...well, then we're in a bad place aren't we?


Sorry, had to rant.
