I want to know why, not because I’m an Obama supporter, but because many of the people who have been saying this have been demicrats for years. Why give up your values just because it’s not a women up there. Now if you have switched because you actually agree with McCain more then okay that I understand, but I have talked to people who agree with everything that Obama says, but won’t vote for him because he’s not a women and didn’t choose a women for vp.

I just don’t think that some of these people realize that if the vote McCain in they will have to deal with what he belives in and what he want’s to do. The war will continue, US taxpayer money will continue to go to Iraq and nothing will change, if thats what they want, fine, but if they want an end to the war they need to grow up and do what is right, not act like a highschool kid and try to get back at Obama for winning the nomination.

This is the reasion that many young voters don’t vote, they figure voteing is a big scam because people just vote the party and don’t listen to the issues, they vote for the cute one or the person who looks better then the other. In this race I am sure that many will not vote for Obama because of race. It’s sad this is still going on, but it’s a truth that even he knows. I just think that if you are old enough to vote you need to vote because you agree with what the canidate has to say, not because your pissed off that they were nominated instead of someone else.

I’m one of those people who don’t choose a candidate based on anything but what that person themselves stands for. In January I believed that Hillary was a good choice for the job as president. Now I am a supporter of Obama. Why, well because I don’t agree with how Hillary has handled herself and some of the things she stands for. While I don’t agree with everything Obama has said either, I think he is a better person for the job.

The main reason being his background and what he has been though in life. He was poor he knows what it’s like to be on assistance and need help. He also speaks well which for me right now is a huge deal. I can not stand listening to Bush talk. I think we need a president who can command the attention of the citizens of the united states and people all over the world. This man could possibly do just that. My mom compares him to Kennedy. She has liked Obama since before he decided to run for president. Even then he knew how to grab your attention.

I think the problem with this election is that everyone wants and needs change, both of the democratic candidates are pushing for change and both could do it. On the Republican side I also think McCain could make some changes, but at the same time he supports things I don’t support. This election is monumental not just because of who is running but what this election will mean for the future of the united states and the world. I believe this is a huge turning point in our history and when they look back on it, I hope they will see a great and wonderful outcome, not just more war and violence.

I was reading on yahoo today about a proposal by McCain that congress needs to get rid of the gas tax for summer and make sure that students can get loans next year. This effects me a lot as I’m a student who has to drive 2 hours to school when I have class. The worst part is most of my classes are at night and on different days. I also take online classes to keep from having to drive.

I think this would be a great idea even if they were to cut the taxes in half it would help many people who have to drive a long distance. I also think making sure that student can get loans is a big deal as many who have them need them to continue in school. I am one of those, if I can’t get a loan I don’t go and then I have to start paying back the loans I have, with no job because I haven’t finished my degree. I know many students are in the same place I am, hopefully something will be done to help us all.

This is one reason I’m an independent voter, sometime candidates come up with some great ideas, but they are from a party you don’t normally vote for, being an independent I don’t’ feel ties with any one party. It’s nice, but I’m still not changing over just yet. I still disagree with the war, but I have gone from liking Hillary more, to liking Obama a lot more. I think he could be a president that can fix the image of the US and bring the country back together. I also like how he speaks, he does it well. Hillary does too, but I noticed the other day I had to turn off the TV when they interviewed Bush because I can’t stand to listen to him. He does not sound like he knows what he’s talking about, even if he does. I have the same problem with teachers sometimes. If they don’t sound right I don’t want to listen.

Anyway back to gas prices. What do you think about getting rid of the gas tax from memorial day to labor day?
