I have been sick the past few days, but I am feeling better today, so it’s my turn to express my feeling on the past election. To start off remember, I don’t consider myself a Democrat or Republican. In fact I voted some some of each in the past election. I vote for who I think is the bet person for the job. Rarely to I ever agree with everything a person stands for.

I think Obama getting elected was a great thing. Not because I totally agree with him, because I don’t, but because I think it’s time for a change of power. Nothing against McCain. I think he would have done a decent job too, even though I have a lot if disagreements with him. I think the Republican Party was doomed from the beginning. Too many people were unhappy with Bush. My crazy theory of the Palin selection was that the Republicans knew they were doomed and none of them wanted to hurt their political career by being the VP in a losing battle.

I am almost certain that we will have a Republican president in eight years, or maybe even four depending on how successful Obama is. I remember four years ago when all the pundits were saying the Democratic Party was a mess and they needed to find who their leaders were. Well, I think the Republican Party is in that situation now. They will regroup and be back.

I am sick of all the Republican that think it’s the end of the world now, and how rolling back a tax cut for the rich when our country has a massive debt is socialist. I think Obama’s Tax cuts for the working class could help out to economy some. They are the people that will be spending the extra money anyway. That whole “spread the wealth” thing is a joke. I don’t even get it. Are the Republican against the tax cut for 95% of america? If so, then I get the “spread the wealth”, if they think the tax increase for the rich is going to the “bums” then they are wrong.

Another thing that drives me nuts are the people that thing Obama is a terrorist because he has met will Bill Ayers a couple time. Sure Bill Ayers has a checkered past, but that was 40 years ago. Are you the same person you were 40 years ago? People change. Ayers is currently a professor at the University of Illinois. He worked with Obama on education reform in Illinois. Who really cares if he was a rebel when he was in is 20s. Weren’t we all to some extent?

 And to the Christians out there that think Obama is a threat to you religion, get real. How is a Christian President a threat? If you are that unsure of your religion, then it seems the problem is you. Just because he wants to unite everyone, and become everyones President, not just the Christian’s President, doesn’t hurt your religion. This is not a Christian Nation. This Nation was formed on the freedom of religion. You have the right to pray to God, Allah, Buddha, The Flying Spaghetti Monster, or like a lot of us no one, and Obama understands that, and that is a good thing.

In the end all both McCain and Obama want is what’s best for our country. They have different ideas, but in reality, they probably have more similarities. If you don’t like was Obama does the next your years, you can show it with your vote. That’s what makes this country so great, and in the end, we are all Americans.

Driving home from work I really noticed a lot of political yard signs. I don’t get the point of them. Do some people not know who is running? Are people going to base their vote on who their neighbors vote for? For me seeing all the McCain yard signs reminds be to get out and vote for Obama.

Today I also read that a bunch of people are having their Obama signs stolen, or destroyed. Are Republicans really that offend by the other side? Really?

I can’t wait for the election to be over. Not because I am sick of all the commercials, because I never watch live TV, but because I am sick of all the misinformation being spread.

Both parties are guilty of it. Factcheck.org is your friend use it. Do your own research, and make sure you are using reputable sites. Both parties spread a ton of misinformation on their commercials, and during the debate. Vote for who you think the right candidate is based on the facts, not the spin.

My Mom is a diehard Republican, and she sends me tons of emails of false information that she truly believes because she read it on the internet, or got it in an email. The latest email she sent me said that three former Fannie Mae executives are “economic advisers” to Obama. That is totally false.

Another thing that bugs me is people that vote based on one issue. Look at the bigger picture people! Don’t vote for McCain just because you are anti-choice. Vote for the person that you agree with on most issues. There are many things that I don’t agree with Obama on, but the majority I do, so he is my guy.

Another thing that drives me crazy is all the bashing of the candidate. Sure Palin is easy to pick on. The light heated stuff they do SNL or this song, are pretty funny, but this is uncalled for and not cool. Also, calling Obama a terrorist because of his name or skin color is totally uncalled for.

Both Obama and McCain are great American, and are both trying to do what they think is best for our country. Sure, they may differ on a lot of issues, but in the end, they both what’s best for our country, and both deserve lost of respect.

Go Obama!!!
