It's that time again UGH, Part 2

Hello ladies and gentlemen, as promised here is Part 2. So let's get started. Today I want to talk to you about something pretty simple. Can you define your political party anymore?




I don’t think a Conservative or a Liberal can be defined by a set of laws anymore. Right now we see a party who wants to keep tax's low. OH wait! Wrong one. We got the Democrats who support the Bush Tax cuts. Which has split the party somewhat, some support some don’t. Conservatives stand by religion? A lot do but to say there aren't Democrats who support religion? That’s nuts.



Gay rights? Most Democrats don’t want to repeal DADT same with Conservatives. What do they have in common though? They both fund these dumb programs that don’t benefit anyone or are helpful. They spend billions of unneeded tax dollars.



How about we leave the present? Abraham Lincoln, the record books show, was a Republican. Hold up though, historically, if you compare Lincoln then to the liberal view today, Lincoln has a hell of a lot in common with them don’t you think?



Conservative outlook and liberal outlook are constantly changing.



Remember John McCain? Fox News and the lot wouldn't vote for him because he wasn't conservative enough.



My question is, can you even tell us how far right you want?



Now back in the time machine we see the Liberals of then look a lot like the conservatives of today! Our two head parties are always changing therefore we can’t truly define what a REAL LIBERAL or a REAL CONSERVATIVE is. I don’t see how that works either. Is there some kind of measuring stick to decide if you are liberal enough for me or conservative enough? People constantly try to compare real conserves or real liberals to the liberals and conservatives of today. Don’t waste your time. There is no solid liberal and solid conservative. I don’t care what anyone says, you cannot FULLY support EVERY SINGLE idea in a party unconditionally.



I agree with some points by a conservative and some points by liberals. I don’t understand anyone who FULLY supports 100% Liberal or conservative. If they do they are pretty blinded.



Ideas and opinions change by person everyone has them.



Now I want to get down to the point, these parties and outlooks are what is truly hurting America. These people aren't willing to part ways with their party. They really do put PARTY before public. And that frightens me. George Bush had a bailout of his own in his administration and the Republicans supported it.



President Obama had his bailout and not one republican voted for it.



That’s politics at its absolute worse right there, ladies and gentlemen, putting your party first.



I live in Kansas and we are in election fever. Constant ads are being played on our television sets, mainly between Jerry Moran and Todd Tiehart. Jerry Moran has an ad that really bothered me. He said he opposes the Obama Agenda. Why is that in your campaign? What does that matter? Does that mean you can’t think for yourself?



America, I want someone who can capture all of us and appeal to all of us not just trying to capture their own party’s vote. Try to pull us together from this wedge of (D) and (R) instead of saying "I don’t support Obama therefore I prove I'm conservative vote for me!" Each (Tiehart and Moran) try to use Obama as a way to sway the republican vote by saying, “OH HE VOTED WITH OBAMA” more; therefore he’s a bad person.



All that it's saying, if you agree with Obama on some extents, you should not be in office and I find that sickening. Provide your ideas and not just how many times you were beside Obama on a law.

Representatives vote for what you believe in and not what’s popular with your party. These men and women are what we look too if we’re in trouble, but there too busy trying to keep their job instead of voting for what they believe in and what possibly could help the American people. And that is why I have no faith in Washington.

It's that time again. UGH!

Hello blog, with elections in just a few months I want to talk to you all about something that disturbs me a lot in today's world. How we decide who were going to vote for. Now, I know there are many who logically decide who they are going to vote for reflecting on their viewpoints or lifestyle, but I want to talk about what the majority seem to base their decisions on.




I myself have seen this in my school. (We cannot vote yet however they will be at the ballot box in just a year or two.) Now, back in the Obama and McCain election, which seems like so long ago, I heard plenty of people say they weren't going to vote for McCain because he was old and would die in office. Now, he is old but I really doubt he was going to die in office. However, this actually proved to be an OK viewpoint because when he picked Palin I didn't want to vote for McCain just because of that type of situation. Were McCain to step down, die in office, etc -- I don’t want Palin to run this country basically.



However I heard that WELL before Palin was officially chosen as McCain’s running mate. I find that ridiculous I wouldn't have voted for McCain because and I quote "If we have to we will stay in Iraq for a century." Oh, and also because he voted alongside with Bush 90% of the time.



Now, on the other side of the table, we saw Obama, and the given one was let's not vote for him because he’s black. However, I saw plenty who said I'm voting for Obama because HE IS black. Once again, race should not decide the election whether it is in relation to racism or voting for the same race. I also heard many who said they wanted McCain/Palin just because Palin didn't use big words...FACEPALM.



Let's look beyond those things now to something I dislike even more – T\the parties themselves. ALMOST EVERYONE in this country sees the (D) or the (R) next to the caption of the person to decide whether or not they agree with that person.



This type of decision making frightens me the most. I believe we should be deciding who we support or vote for based on personal agendas and not the majority agenda on a political party. I like some Conservatives, I like some Liberals, I like some independents. I decided on that based on PERSONAL AGENDA not there parties they support. Now obviously the party they are a part of can usually decide whether or not you like them or not. Plenty completely oppose the agenda of the opposite political party.

However, I don’t think there is a blue print democrat or a blue print conservative. I don’t think those terms can honestly be concretely defined and listing the same exact principles. We are all people and we will support different things. Some support this some dislike this. I believe just like snowflakes no two people are going to agree on the EXACT SAME THING on EVERY SINGLE issue. Not from what I've met or seen anyway.



I remember on the news a couple years ago they were celebrating a woman who has voted conservative in every single election since the 50's I thought this was absolute non-sense. Now maybe I am wrong and that she just happened to like what every single Republican said from the 50's to now. But honestly that seems unlikely she was in her 90's the last election .Now I don’t know too many 90 year olds who are politically involved anymore. It's a cause of voting Republican blindly.



I will cut this into two parts ladies and gentlemen. Tomorrow I will talk about how political parties aren't concrete.
