No More

This is why I will not be voting for McCain and Palin.

I have been thinking for a while on writing something that summarized my feelings on the republicans’ move, but choice words seemed to always fail me. Politics is a touchy subject and when it comes to American politics, I get the urge to move to Canada.

I have been plagued with the question of why I wouldn’t vote for them. People seem to think that since I’m from Alaska, I should vote for Palin because she’s from Alaska. The truth is, I’ve never liked Palin. I never even liked Stevens when he was governor. It’s probably why I’m not a republican.

I think the thing that bugs me the most is that when we vote for our leader, people seem to choose the worst of two evils. When I go to vote, I choose someone I think is respectable enough to represent not only my self, but be an example of what I feel it is to be an American. When I grew up as a kid overseas, that was something they always drilled into us. When you’re not on base, you are not only representing you. You are representing a larger audience, you represent all Americans.

Pretty big burden to place on a ten year old.

The funny thing is, when you think about it, our current leadership probably represents the majority of our population perfectly.

Now that just makes me feel sad…
