Rantings and Ravings
um.....blah....
Okay, I'm not registered to vote and I don't really plan on registering any time soon...so I have an unbiased opinion on the matter, since I am not assigned to any type of political party.

However, I have read both websites for the candidates and to tell the truth, I am a bit disturbed at what I see...like with Barack Obama's constant want to increase the national debt millions at a time while McCain is determined more to assist the citizens of our country in a time of recession.

Obama wants to increase funding towards supplies, training, weaponry, and so on for troops fighting in Iraq. Plus, more training for teachers and support for employers and higher-quality schooling. ALSO he has the desire to give a yearly repay or rebate of $500 to $1000 to families and people in order to RELIEVE THE STRESS OF PAYING BILLS. That's all well and good, but to tell the truth, I don't know how supportive I can be with that if he wants to spend millions of dollars that WE DON'T HAVE in order to do this. He wants nothing more than to compete with the other countries who are more advanced than we are in these areas, with no concern for the growing national debt of over $9,377,557,217,133. (Yes, I did look it up)

However, McCain seems to be just the opposite. He is more concerned with the people than monetary values. (Which I give him kudos for, though I'm not sure I like how great it will be on our wallets)


So who are you voting for and why? Because I keep asking people and they cannot give me any concrete facts on the matter...like if I ask someone why they are voting Obama, they take a long pause and either don't give me an actual answer or they attack McCain with the cliche insult about how he is old; also, it seems that they also do nothing but spout off word-for-word the slanderous commercials airing every hour of every day on television. Disturbing, ne?

But like I said, I am not a Patriot and not registered to vote, so this is coming from a non-party bias. Neutrality rocks...especially since I believe my vote will not do anything at all for me in the long run.

I mean, it is Congress that controls everything, and usually the candidates' ideas go to squat anyway.
