Is it really your decision in the upcoming election? Does your vote count?
Have you ever wondered if your vote counts? Do think that your decision really matters? I have often wondered if it really does matter. Will me going out and voting for these total strangers mean anything or is it all predetermined? I have felt from the beginning that Obama was going to win, not because he is black but because it was already decided by someone else. I believe that the government has already determined a winner and go through the motions to make the public think they had a choice. I always hear "If you don't go out and vote you can't complain about what happens." I feel that whether I vote or not and you are messing with what happens in my life then I can complain if I want, it is not like I am really going to be able to change any thing after the fact either. I was recently told by my grandfather that even if I don't like either candidate to go and vote anyway for the lesser of the two evils or write it in. I do not feel that my vote counts. I do like parts of what the candidates are proposing but I don't really know either one of them, I voted for Bush thinking that I was voting for the lesser of the two evils and we all see how that went. I just don't think that I want a president that is a stuffy person that has been in office their entire adult life. I would like to have a younger fresh face running for president, the requirements for running are
be a natural-born citizen of the United States; be at least thirty-five years old; have been a permanent resident in the United States for at least fourteen years
I would like a president that knows what I am going through. I do not feel like anything these guys are saying is true and furthermore going to happen when they are in office. I do not plan on voting and will not be suprized when Obama wins, I will however be suprized when McCain wins. I expected Hillary to stay in the running but once she was gone I already know who they had decided would be going to the White House. Our government is becoming more and more curupt and being run in a manner that the generations to come are not gong to appreciate because there is no one there to speak for them. So when you are on your way to the poles think about what you want the next 4 years of your life to be like and what the geration after is going to think about it, Did you waste your time, that extra sleep before work, your lunch break for nothing? Or did it matter, did you count?
