I was going to blog about how absolutely ignorant my younger sibling is with regards to choosing a president (well, many MANY other things as well, but that'll be for later), and using her blog to disseminate information taken out of context to the few pathetic people who actually tune in to her blog daily ... but I decided to do my OWN campaigning.
I fully and aggressively support the presidential campaign of Senator Barack Obama. I've done THOROUGH research on both candidates (although I researched many others, McCain and Obama are our only real choices), and I know from my head to my toes that Obama is the only one willing to try ANYTHING different and turn his head from the status quo.
I understand, and also support, our Constitutional right to our own opinions and free speech. I get it ... I want it to be this way. My blood pressure, however, rises 100 notches when others speak about issues in which they have NO basis of fact. I would be angry if someone posted or wrote about something taken out of context for McCain even though I do not, and never will, support his candidacy. This is why I do not use my blog to post misinformation about John McCain ... I'm responsible not to. Because I have a very diverse group of friends, many of us differ when it comes to choosing a candidate. My "job" as a US citizen and as an educator is to promote the need to vote and to encourage others to research to discover which candidate they believe is best to lead our country.
So ... get out and vote when November comes around ... and most importantly, BE INFORMED.

help me.
Thanks. Im Inspired again.
it's a shame you continue to call names.
I could call you ignorant or an embarrassment because you are choosing to vote for Obama...but everyone is entitled to vote for whomever they want, regardless of what "facts" are presented. One can do all the research they want, but in the end, it comes down to what you want to believe. You want to believe that Obama will make change? You'll gloss over whatever you don't care to hear. It applies with all candidates in all elections. People wanted change when they elected Bush eons ago. They chose to ignore things that didn't make him an "ideal" candidate.
The people chose Obama over Hillary for the same reasons...they choose to ignore things about one candidate, and believe things about another. Political candidates flip-flop in order to garner the most votes. Believe in one now, and tomorrow, you'll be ashamed of what he did.
Me? I'm writing in my vote. God. Because He's pretty much the only Guy who is right for the job. He'll never flip-flop. I'll never be ashamed of Him.
Obama, it's not a black thing, it's just that he's crazy.
