Vote for Change?

Can we do one thing? PLEASE stop saying the word change. There will be at least SOME change no matter who is elected. It all just depends on how much and what kind of change you want. Lets not forget the most important thing - VOTE ON THE ISSUES. Do some research. Do not vote for McCain because he is an old white man with the most experience, or because he has a woman VP now, or because he is a Republican. Don't vote for Obama because he is young, black, a good speaker, or a Democrat. Vote for what truely matters. Things like the Economy, the Global Warming crisis, the Healthcare crisis, the NATIONAL DEBT crisis, the WAR in Iraq, and the list goes on and on. To forget these things is to forget what truely matters, because the truth is that anyone can be the president. What is important is that these problems are dealt with in the best way possible, and in a way that the majority of America can agree with.

I suggest that you imagine you just became president. Make a list of what you would do, then compare it to what McCain and Obama claim they will do. It seems simple, but it might surprise you. Stop underestimating yourself. Stop believing that you don't know enough about the issues. Stop voting for someone just because you think they know better than you do. Your convictions should be just as strong as theirs. McCain and Obama are normal human beings like you and me. McCain and Obama differ on very simple things, and you do not need to be an Economist, or an Engineer, or a General to know about these issues, and McCain and Obama aren't those things either. If you care about this country, then make sure a part of you is being elected this year, make sure your view on the issues is being heard. Don't vote for "the guy I would like to have a beer with." Instead vote for the one that will do what YOU would do.

McCain and Obama each only get 1 vote, just like everyone else in America. They are no different than you and I. Don't throw your vote away, because your vote is just as powerful as anyone else's.
