You know  i'm beginning to think we give too much power to the government, the president, and the congress. I mean we get nervous when a person has flaws or is not perfect or believes in something we all around dont. Actually when it comes down to it.. we the people are the power. We make the decisions who leads us, and if we learn how to use that power... i do believe we can bring America back to prospering place to live. Right now we are struggling, but we are still the land of the free we must get back into that frame of mind.

I must admit I whole heartedly knew who I would vote for from the beginning. I mean to be honest, back in 2004 when everybody was speculating that Clinton might run for the first woman president I was like yes.. I'm voting for her. Well after blogging and hearing everyone's comments I am now at the point that I'm just confused. No not about who I am voting for but how in the hell anyone knows who they are going to vote for. As far as I see it.. America is divided. McCain is like another Bush in office and we know we dont want to go down that road again. Obama, who I dont know anything about is suppose to be tied to Islam.. oh geez! And Clinton is suppose to be a communist.

So here is all the scandel surrounding our presidential nominees. I think it is just ridiculous because none of them can do anything without us the people. We do the voting, we make the final call... Dont yall see it doesnt matter who gets into office because without our vote Mccain cant keep us in Iraq for 100 years, Obama cant stand with the Muslim and take over the world, and Clinton cant do whatever it is people are saying she is trying to do that could ruin us.

This entire charades of events surrounding the decision 08 is getting old. I am just ready for November to get the republicans out. I'm ready for jobs aplenty and minimum wage to come up. We are putting so much energy into deciding on a final democrat nominee that I just dont see the same amount of energy being put into the final decision. We need not stress what the nominees are speculated on being tied to. Our only concern is our safety and the return of our mighty patriotic heros across seas, the economy and healthcare... anything else is irrelevant.

Remember we are only in danger of who we vote for to be our nations spokesperson and leader. So in the end whose really running our country... we are yall. The president and everybody else speak for us and lead us but we, in a way. authorize them to do so. So if we dont like something or we dont agree on a idea, our vote is what makes it happen. We need to start remembering that. And then maybe we will be alot more prosperous.

I had to rush back and write this blog after reading some of the other blogs on the Hillary and Obama race. Some people believe that they will vote for Mcclain before they allow Hillary as their president.

 Guys some of you are voting for Clinton, while others seem to go for Barrack. We all know the intense fight that these two democratic nominees are in. They’re fighting each other like they belong to a the opposing party and that’s not very good seeing that we’re in a critical position and in need of the best person to save us from damnation.

However, we all know that we darn sure don’t need someone, a republican, going back into the white house trying to keep us in a war that is draining the hell out of America’s pockets. If we have to stay at war another 100 years… we won’t have an army, a marine, a air force, or a national guard. Because if we are constantly losing money, jobs, and homes who is going to be able to survive to reproduce potential army drafts. And if the current Army is over there they sure as hell won’t survive 100 years. Come on now America there is people overseas fighting for America who haven’t even ever seen their kids for God’s sake.

Hillary speaks about experience and experience counts when you look back and see that in the Clinton days… we had 8 years of peace and prosperity so don’t count her out yet when our economy was damn good while the Clinton administration was in office. Barrack says change, well that could be good too, but with that comes trial and error and I dont think we need much more error. So how do we solve this deliemma. Experience AND Change... Unity guys

I want someone who is going to get us OUT of Iraq. Whoever that is has my vote. I’m getting tired of the arguments and the fighting like Obama and Hilary are married or something. You guys are suppose to be family, two people believing in the same cause. So why are you slandering one another. A big disappointment is what you guys are beginning to be and will be if you cause America to vote you out for a republican who thinks that the war should go on.

Lets get together DEMOCRATs

I must admit I am slightly disappointed in the outcome of the democratic race. I mean I am an African American Woman, of the younger generation, I guess you could say,… I am 23. I would love change just like anyone else… hell come on now everyone bashing Hilary Clinton, but guess what if Obama never ran for president, who would every non-republican voter be going for? Exactly, President Clinton would have been nominated way before the republicans decided McClain would be their party’s front runner

What really disappoints me is the majority vote is based on race. Who cares about making someone president because they are black? This is where we going to get really messed up. We voting based on a skin color or, in George W. Bushes case, because his Daddy was president and he was Governor of Texas.

Now look at the dire situation our economy is in. Gas is costing half of minimum wage, we living in what seems like depression number 2… and that sucks because I wasn’t born in the first one and didn’t quite expect to be witness to the 2nd one.

But before I go on let me say right now that I am not against Obama… he wants change. Hell Hilary does too. Why can’t two strong, American devoted, people run together… I mean what we need more than ever is Unity. We need to get our troops home, ASAP. We over there fighting a war that is irrelevant, we not on track we just stuck. Al-Qaida came over here and bombed our towers; they killed a lot of people, and changed America forever. Yet, we retaliate but not against the bombers, we over in Iraq trying to make them Americans. Who doesn’t see a problem here?

I’m really beginning to think, as horrible as it may seem, that this bombing was an accuse to go over seas and catch Sad am Hussein who I don’t believe had jack split to do with this 911 BLEEP. Something is fishy in our government and the White House and anybody who continues to say that we need to stay at war needs to not even have the balls, sorry about the frankness, but they shouldn’t even dare to run for president. We over there sacrificing our brave, bold, and courageous troops for no cause, a war of no meaning and no benefit to America.

Most people say non-war supporters are anti-American… that those who think our troops are wasting there time doesn’t love our country. Well you know what, here’s what I think about that. We lost thousands when these terrorist bomb our fellow Americans in that tower 7 years ago. Yet, we’ve lost double that in this war where a man sits and taunts us with merciless video clips of him torturing our troops. And what do we do… nothing. And if our president would put the amount of dedication he did to catch Hussein into finding Bin Laden we might just have a chance America.

So as a democrat watching two great potential president candidates fight against each other for the lead spot instead of joining together to make us whole again… I just can’t see a bright future for America. We need change, but in that change Obama… we need unity as well. Choose Clinton as your running mate… that’s the winning ticket against McClain and the resuscitation of America.
