This Time, It's Democrats

We all have opinions. They make the world go round. No one person is perfect; not even with a very smart staff are perfect decisions made all of the time (remember when George Bush got on that Naval Carrier and declared we'd "won the war" so early on; bad move--look at us now). This is certainly not the basis for my decision, simply a very small example of how no one is perfect; most particularly "Dubya". I voted for the man. Twice. Sure did. Was proud to give him my vote. If only I knew then what I know now.
I'm not a staunch Republican or Democrat; neither. I vote for who I think will do the best at the helm of our country. Neither person, no matter who, no matter which election, no matter what year, niether candidate is EVER perfect. Neither one will always 100% of the time provide perfect guidance to the citizens of our country. All will make mistakes. Every President has, can't name one who has not. Out of some notables and top rated (by some including me) are:

1. Ronald Reagan
2. Theodore Roosevelt
3. Abraham Lincoln

But even out of those, mistakes were made. Rest assured it will happen no matter who this country votes in. In my opinion, if we vote for McCain, who is literally straddled, tied to, and weighed down in cement in Bush policies, we get what we have now. A big mess. A very big continuation of more of the same. If Obama gets in, we aren't really entirely sure what we're getting, we have an idea, and lots of people are making him sound worse than he may be, but he wants change from the way it is now and as far as I'm concerned, I'm purely voting for that. I don't really care if he changes his position on when the troops are coming home. Yes, I want them home, think they should have been home years ago actually, but if Barack Obama has to add time to his original thought of when he's pulling them home, who cares? I know for a fact, he wants them home sooner than John McCain and I'm quite sure Obama will go about making it happen; 16 months, 24 months, or even 36 months is a hell of a lot shorter time frame than 40-50 years. No? We shouldn't have gone there in the first place. Oh wait, yes, GWB is an oil man on the side, I guess someone is going to tell me that it's nothing but a coincidence where our troops ended up. In the middle of Oil Country, George Bush's OTHER occupation and little side business has everything to do with that. What are the clear results of us going into this war? Someone please tell me.

What is my point? Barack Obama will not be perfect. But he is young, he speaks from his heart, he listens, and he wants a better America. Getting to that point will probably not be fun for anyone, inlcluding us, the citizens of this country. John McCain is too old and wants things to remain as they are, he's old school and his health and age (for such a stressful job) definitely concern me. John McCain if voted in will not be perfect, neither of them will be. Go with who you want, who you think will take America out of the tank it's in, bring it to a better level, help our International Allies (and even enemies) view us in a better light. That's why this country is so beautiful, you may vote for who you think is the best person. It's your RIGHT.

Last time it was Republicans. This time, it's Democrats. Will I be right or wrong? I guess we won't know till later.
