Dear Mr. People who are running for presidential office.
disclaimer: I don’t like to write about politics. I don’t like to say who I’m voting for. Though, I think it’s pretty obvious. I don’t want to debate politics, I want to spread the love of Jesus. That is what this blog is for. But, I have to write one more thing on the politics issue.
Is the election over? Can it be? I mean, don’t get me wrong, I think this is a very important election. I think everyone does. But MAN. Let me say the negative politics really turn me off. I want to vote. I vote that everyone shuts up. I vote that for once we put aside the differences and look at the failing WORLD economy in front of us.
I don’t care who kicks babies, I don’t care who wears white shoes after labor day. I really just don’t care. Trust me. People do some jacked up things in their past. Read this blog. It’s proof. But what does someone’s ties with someone in the past have to do with the price of tea in China? Oh. Nothing. That’s right, we’re ignoring the price of tea in china, or the APR of a home mortgage in Germany. We’re focusing on old s***. (this is a reference to both the Obama and McCain Camp.)
When we do turn to the economy, it’s the repubs fault, or the dems. You want my opinion, WHO CARES. Blame doesn’t pay the bills. Blame doesn’t stop the unemployment rate from rising. I don’t think “Joe Sixpack” is really going to care when he’s sitting on a corner begging for a quarter to feed his family. I don’t think it’s going to matter who did or did not support a bill, or who did or did not hang out with someone who is a convicted felon (or an acquitted terrorist). What is going to matter is the fact that people are hurting, the world is hurting, and all we can care about is winning.
Mr. Obama, Mr. McCain,
Stop the negative campaigning. Please. I am getting sick. I want to hear your plans. I want to hear your goals. I want to hear your passions. I want to see this World, (not just America) thrive. You guys shake hands at a debate and then throw razors at each other from all angles during the week. BLAH! I believe this is the most negative campaign in the history of the “Land of the Free.”
Why don’t you use your freedom of speech for something positive. Use your Bill of Rights to be a positive influence and to be someone the people of this nation can look up to. Right now, regardless of who I am voting for, I’m not impressed. I’m saddened to see two (grown) men, trying to win so desperately, they are forgetting their values and morale. Heck. Forgetting the values and morale of this entire country. You’re our leaders. Prove it.
