Politics

Its getting extremely close to the election.


9 days? Technically its Monday, so next Tuesday which is 8 days away, just over a week will decide the fate of our nation. Take a look at this NY Times Electoral Map. I am a liberal if you didn't know. I don't want to offend any Conservatives on this blog, I do respect your ideas and I very often agree with some of them, but mostly I don't.

After taking a look at that map, just think about it. Take a look, the more progressive states, the states with the best most advanced cities, states that want this government to change, and that want a more progressive America, those states lean on the Democratic side. Why can't we all agree that a separation of church and state is essential? Why can't we all agree that we should all be equal(aka gay marriage)? Why can't we all agree that racism is wrong? And why can't we all agree that 100 more years in Iraq is NOT worth lives of our soldiers and the estimated 200,000 up to 1.2 million estimated Iraqi civilians killed by a direct result of our occupation of Iraq. I mean I have friends that are conservative, I don't like it thought.

How can you vote for McCain for the simple fact that if he dies our county will actually be run by Sarah Palin?!

Honestly, I don't hate him. But I do think that he is not going to bring about almost anything that I am looking for in the future. Maybe I'm just swayed by Obama's poetic speech and strong, seemingly honest demeanor. I think that immersing yourself in politics is definitely bad for you, there's no need to watch Youtube videos, read the paper, watch 24/7 CNN and so forth all day every day. But do pay attention. And do vote. I do want everyone to vote regardless of which way. But I do want the US to become a more progressive nation, much like much of Europe. We are not the 'Free-est' we are not the smartest, we are not the best. But I do like it here, and I think we have the potential to be the best.

Alright, so now I'm going to go to bed now. I'll see you all tomorrow.
