I have tried my best to stray away from having political arguments with members of my family, as I enjoy building unity rather than trying to project my rightness over anyone.
And really, the things I believe in (the causes) are not purely political. And I'm sick of parties having claims over them. And while I want to vote in someone who projects these values, they still could be Democrat or Republican. Sadly, many republicans regard these values as leftist.
fighting poverty
environmental care
human rights
ending world hunger
providing educational opportunities for everyone
providing vocational training
yes, the evils of liberalism.
truth is, neither party fights for truth as much as they try to lead on.
so who will i vote for in 2008?
preferably someone who stands by these issues, and ALSO is against abortion. and against the war in Iraq. and won't give the government more legitimacy to red tape everything.
who fits into this ideal candidate?
no one.
i'm sick of politics and sick of pointless family debates.

you should run for president. you got my vote.
but seriously, it is really frustrating how the political system works. and the way we're are supposed to be polarized against each other. i was watching some news channel the other day and the program host was saying what a horrible person some candidate was because he had sponsored bills with people from the other party.
because apparently it's a terrible thing to work together instead of going nowhere because all our political parties do is fight each other.
it's so hard not to become apathetic to the whole thing
