Vote

With the year's big presidential election looming around the corner, I am in a quandry on who to vote for. I am not in love with either candidate.

My husband and I went and saw the movie,"Swing Vote." I liked it. It was funny ,it did poke fun at the political process and there was a lot of truth to it. Of course the ending was the best part of the film.

I hate all the spin that is associated with the political process and I have gotten to the point that I just don't believe what the candidates say anymore. They want the votes and that's the bottom line. I also hate the exorbitant amounts of money that is going into negative campaigning. I would think that money could be better spent elsewhere, like educating our kids or feeding the less fortunate.

Each person that makes it into office says they will change things up, then they are elected and it's the same old stuff. Everything gets bogged down and nothing is accomplished.

Still I feel it's very important to vote even if it's for a candidate that I am not very excited about. Maybe they will prove me wrong. I hope so.

I know exactly how you feel - deciding this time around is going to be a chore, but we have to make a choice anyway. Let's hope it
is the right one for your country.
