The Elections of 2008

Well now where shall I start?

Elections for President of the United States have completely turned me off
for a lot of years. I have elected not to vote because as far as I was concerned there was nobody worth voting for. I became tired of voting for people who were tied to special interests, people who would do nothing more than to continue governing the country in the same old way. Our present President is an example of one of the worst. I won't try to list all the things done by this administration to rate as the worst I have ever seen, as most people know what they are.

This year a new President will be elected and as far as I am concerned there is only one candidate who will even try to change how things are done in Washington. That candidate is Senator Obama.
Senator Clinton has shown in recent weeks that she is no better a candidate than other insiders who have run for this office. She is, in my opinion, the bitterest loser of any candidate that has run for high office in my memory.
Senator McCain, again in my opinion, would be a close look a like of our current President, if elected. Here is a man who should know, better than the majority of us, what war is all about and it's effect on our service men and women. He has said repeatedly that he will never surrender in Iraq, a war which is not in our interests to pursue as it is almost entirely a civil war that the Iraq people need to settle. If elected he would continue killing American service men and women for no good reason.

What will happen as the primary season draws to a close? If the Clinton campaign has it's way they will take their arguments to the Supreme Court
if they can, trying to steal the nomination. John McCain will continue the negative campaigning that he is so against. After all that is the only kind of campaign the insiders know how to run.

Am I right or wrong, time will only tell. It could be this countries last chance to get new blood into Washington and hopefully make a real difference.
