2008 Elections

We are getting ready to enter a new year where we must choose who will be the next leader of our nation. This is an important election. The media emphasizes every bad thing that President Bush does instead of emphasizing on the good things he has done while in office. In doing this, the viewers and readers fall susceptible to every word and every view that is expressed to them by the media. They, in a sense, jump on the media's band wagon. I believe that society has reached a point that they vote based on external things rather than internal personal things, such as, someones character. Society bases their favor towards a candidate on things like their appearance, their rhetoric, their popularity, things that look and sound good. A voter should base their vote on a candidate's character, integrity, honesty, and morals.
For example, what has Hillary Clinton actually accomplished while she has been the Senator of New York? Nothing! She is running for president based on the fact that she was married to Bill Clinton. This astonishes me, that she is actually thinks that she could be a good president. I don't believe this a bit. She has no platform on anything. Mrs. Clinton has only one thing, a health plan. Or had a health plan! She proposed a a health plan called Hillary Care that would provide even more medical help, insurance for everyone, medicaid for everyone, and whatever else she had in mind at the time. Does any of this sound familiar: universal health care, universal insurance, etc. I don't know about you but it sounds pretty socialistic to me. Just think, if Mrs. Clinton was our next president do you see the things we have to look forward to: higher taxes, higher minimum wage, higher everything! This spectacular Hillary Care plan would cost millions even billions of taxpayers dollars. How happy would that make you?
So, I urge you to look into all of the candidates and to vote based on your moral convictions rather than on the things of this world.
