Politics? I don't think I care anymore...

Can I just make a comment? .........I HATE THIS ELECTION AND I HATE POLITICS!!! Want my opinions? You don't have to agree.

-Obama has way to many ideas that I don't agree with. And despite what people say, that moral issues are irrevelant in presidential elections, God is not allowing me to look past them.
-McKain is too fake. This isn't a good reason to vote against him, but I would be excessively annoyed if I had to look at him or hear him for another 4 years.
-Obama wants more government programs that hand out more money to people who already take advantage of hand-outs. Speaking from experience, this crazily promotes a trapped cycle of living.
-McKain will die in office. Why are we electiing someone so aged when retirement age is 65? I don't get it. I respect him, but being a president is stressful. Every president ages 10 yrs in office. It just worried me.
-Obama may also die in office. It's sad but true. So many people are still very prejudiced.
-McKain supports policies that give more money to those who are already rich, rather than to the "hard-working middle class."

These being just some of the issues (and not necessarily important ones), here is my opinion. This election has become a matter of choosing the "lesser of two evils." Despite what people say, there are flaws in both candidates; in both parties. For the first time ever I am tempted to vote independant party- to just not care. My family tells me it is my "Christian duty" to vote. If I hear that one more time I'm going to scream. I just don't know what to think so have been leaning towards not caring.

I hope this blog doesn't come across too strongly. I know people have opinions that differ from mine. Blogging is simply my oportunity to vent. And I am venting.

Vent away! I love to read your opinions. Since I don't tend to be very passionate, it's good for me to spend time with people who are!
