I believe the reason these forums seems fairly liberal is mainly because the people are mainly younger, and are a more mtv crowd.
Yeah, maybe, no.
In the 26 years I've had the right to vote, I've considered myself a Republican and have voted that way, even in the last election (now regretably). This current administration, from the President on down through his cabinet, have showed such a level of incompetence that it shakes my belief and trust in the political process and the hope of a government that is looking out for my best interest, and especially that of my children.
In the 26 years I've had the right to vote, I have only voted once for a candidate who I truly believed in; the remaining times it has been more so a vote against a candidate than it has to support the other one. And it seems more and more people I talk to convey the same sentiments, voting for the lesser of two evils. Is this the best our country can do as far as the quality of leaders, or are the truly qualified people just too smart to put themselves in the quagmire of American Politics.
Why is America so jaded and willing to accept the level and quality of politicians foisted on us. I have a Republican candidate for Senate for the State of Illinois, who just moved here from Maryland btw, who's telling me that Jesus wouldn't vote for the Illinois Democratic Senate candidate!! How the F*#^ would he know!!! I know I didn't get any message from God to that effect at mass on Sunday!! And yes, this is the same man who called the Vice President's gay daughter a selfish hedonist.
And I'm supposed to want to go out and vote for people like this!?
I'm tired of not being able to vote for someone I support, who I feel would watch my back. I'm tired of there not being someone who is capable and qualified to vote for.
