To be honest, I have never been one to follow politics all that closely. Yes, I vote each time an election comes around but all the minute details, I just never bothered with. However, I am going to make an exception to my "never discuss politics" rule.
America, if you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you have always got. Its an old saying for certain but so very true. We are quickly approaching the upcoming election and yet here we are listening to the democratics and republicans haggling over the best way to run the country. The only thing that I am seeing is politician's providing answers based upon party lines. This is the "way things have always been done" so "this is the way it shall always be." But let me ask you something, America. Is it working?
There are so many different issues that are of a concern. The worth of a dollar is going down. Our economy is struggling and we are heading for another depression worse than the great depression. Middle class families are normally the ones who can "live the American Dream" yet these same people are struggling to feed their families and pay the bills. What does that mean for those in the lower class? How many will be homeless? How many are suffering without health care or health insurance? How many are unemployed? These are just a few of the many issues. Others include marriage rights, education, foreign policy - the wars in Iraq and Afganstan, and now the potential for another war over Georgia. Is this the beginning of World War 3? What legacy are we leaving for our children?
As the election season gears up to full speed and voters head off to vote... what will the outcome be? Will we continue on the same path of destruction or will we embrace massive change and a new thought process in order to resolve so many issues that are lying in the path to greatness?
