The life and the times.

I have been reading Mrs. B Roths blog, and there has been much talk about many touchy subjects that everyone in the word regards differently.
Religion, Sex, and Politics!
So I thought I would put my views out there as well, since this is my blog!
Lets start with politics, since that seems to be the topic of the day.
Sarah Palin...What to do with her. Do we like her? Do we judge her? Or do we accept her?
Well, I can tell you there is one part of the campaign this year that I really do like. The fact that the notion is going around that it does not matter if you are a registered Republican, or a registered Democrat, or anything in between.
What really matters is that you agree with their plans, and TRUST them.
Now while I completely agree with this, and could never myself register as any party due to the fact that I have voted all different ways depending on who was running, for what office, and what they stood for.
I do have a problem with the TRUST part.
Do we really Trust any of the people running for office? Do we know them? Do we know what they will do in a tough situation. Are they secretly greedy, and can be bought. Do they have a past experience like McCain that could make him racist, or at least less apt to listen to a particular type of person. We would be putting him right smack in a war. Where he did not have such good experiences from his tour. But perhaps that made him more capable?
So what do we really know about any politician?
There are people out there who say they would not vote for Hillary because she stayed married to a man who cheated on her (I would be assuming more than once) but until we live in her shoes, do we know why? I would be more likely not to vote for her because of her persona of superiority, than that she stayed with a cheater.
What about Obama? He does not have the experience, and I do think that is important. But is it the most important?
So when it all comes down to it. Do we fall back on..."well, I have no idea who to choose, because I do not really agree with all points from any candidate" and vote for who we feel our "party" is regardless of ideals?
That is the reason that we vote! We have the chance to put ourselves out there and say...while I do not agree with everything that you say, I am going to trust you to keep my family safe, and to provide good schools, and to make this country one that I am proud to live in.
What a heavy burden for anyone.
I will vote, but I have not decided for whom, due to the fact that I have not taken the time to properly research each of the candidates. And I do not trust everything I see on TV, or read on the Internet. :) However, I do have to use those sources for everything, so lets hope that 80% of the facts that I get are in fact true!
Since this blog has gotten a little long winded, I am going to have to leave the Sex and Religion topics for another time!
