The Road to the White House

The road to the White House is not a simple task. Most American’s have no idea what it takes to become President of the United States of America. But what wins an American Presidency? Let’s get to the heart of that.

Barack Obama becoming the first black President of the United States is a milestone for America but did American’s make the decision based on the facts? Did American’s get swindled into believing he was the “best” man for the job? Are we all so hypnotized by television that we trust and believe whatever it told to us each and everyday by the newscasters? The answer is yes, you bet cha!

Have Americans become so lazy that they don’t care about the facts or finding out what or whom they are voting for? Can we honestly say Americans are in a since ignorant when voting because all they do is feed into the rhetoric? Lastly, can we believe that some Americans vote with their emotions rather than their head? The answer to all of these questions are yes.

How do you really know who is the best person for the job? How do you find the information in a non-biased manner? Should you as an American do your homework when voting or should you leave it up to the newspapers, news anchors and short commercials? What is your role in the election?

Do you know what it really means to be a Democrat? How about being a Republican? What does it mean to be an Independent? Do you really know where it all started and how these parties divided? Do you really understand why it is important to know the difference? It might surprise you what the fundamentals of each parties objectives are. What you might not realize most Americans vote based on one or two issues instead of looking at the overall picture. Most Americans also believe that one party is for an issue and the other might not be just based on their political association. This is not true, you must check the facts.

My object is for you to understand what your part is in the American election and how outside forces persuade you to vote. Most Americans don’t make up their own minds they let others do it for them. Right now you are thinking that is not true but keep reading my blog posts with an open mind and you will understand this is a true statement.

Zombie Driven American's, you tell me!

I always enjoy reading the blogs that have the cut and copy from newscasters/newspaper articles. I think I am more along the line of real hardcore feelings in the political world. I of course have my TV tuned to every major news station in order to keep up with who is saying what and crying where.

Of course I think Hillary pulled those tears out of a hat in order to get a sympathy vote but of course there is only a varied few of us that can feel sympathy for a robotic political figure as she has made herself out to be. I am sure she was told to humanize herself in order to pull more of the vote her way, well dog gone it, it worked! I’m sure Obama never thought that he would lose the race in NH over a few tears in a bakery shop. I guess Obama will have to call in the big guns and ask Oprah to come bail him out of trouble as he is lagging in the polls - I bet - after the showing in NH.

Oh but then again, let’s not trust those polls and for gosh sake there must be some sort of scandal there. I’m sure the Democrats know all about scandal in the voting world after they have accused the Republicans of it the last 2 elections. Will they now be accusing each other? Where will it end? I guess it’s democracy at it’s finest, after all the definition of democracy is - a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections, wasn’t this a “free” election? That is the question on many people’s minds as the polls come in showing numbers much differently than expected.

Now the next question on my mind is, are they all LIBERALS, who is for keeping illegal’s out and abortion in? Has anyone asked the questions you need to know before heading out to the polls? Don’t hang your hat on his hair style or what the newscaster said or how much experience they say they have. Don’t get coerced by haircuts, candy, hot coffee or someone shoveling your driveways. This makes you think doesn’t it? Do we vote based on what’s in it for us right now, what kind of sad American’s are we? Or what’s in it for the LONG HAUL?

You, YES YOU, need to make the decision on your own, not Mom or Dad, not your best friend Mary or Paul, your kitten Muffin or your dog Jack or the dream you had last night where the candidate came to you in a dream and said pick me, this is your life and no one elses and if you don’t stand up for what you believe in, NO MATTER what anyone else thinks about it, then you have given up on what matters most, your future and your family’s future. Think about it.
