Typical Politics

It's really wonderful that the majority of Americans will have the common sense to see through all the charades and half truths, and understand that when a candidate runs for the most important office in the world and has nothing to offer in the way of experience, then he will not, and should not prevail.

Let's face it, the political agenda of both parties is to get your party elected at any cost. Hillary Clinton's speech at the convention was completely contrary to all the rhetoric that she has been spewing against Obama for months, and now suddenly she states he is the answer to all the world's problems and she is behind him 1,000 percent. So much for the big differences between them that she has been preaching.

If you supported Hillary and will vote for Obama just because she says that you should, then please re-evaluate your stance and take a good hard look at what you are doing. Hillary was a better choice over Obama and that isn't going to happen, so get over it. But don't waste your vote and vote Democratic just because you lean toward being a Democrat. Vote for the best candidate for America.

Sometimes change can be very costly and with the way things are today we can't afford a mistake. I'm not saying that McCain doesn't have his faults, but he has way more experience than the other candidate, and I have to give him the opportunity to help get this country back to where it should be, but I am not willing to gamble my freedom as well as our economic instability on an unknown, untried and certainly unqualified person that can give a charismatic speech.
