When It's Over...

As we find ourselves coming to the end of this 2008 presidential election we find that everyone has some mixed feelings about who should get the final vote. When choosing, people tend to not fully weigh all of the "pros and cons" of both of the candidates. The problem is; that when one has already their own set opinion about who is right and who is wrong, then he/she instantly negates the evils of one candidate and focuses only on the flaws of the other.

Sadly race is playing a huge part in this election. The fact that people are so bent on hating someone for something they can't change is appalling. Poking fun at some one for being darker than yourself is like making fun of a small boy with a mental handicap, or an elderly lady with cancer. These are all things that one can not change (well some not easily.) So why is it that people still insist on being racist? Barack Obama may not be the same old Caucasian that has been in office since the Rev. War but that does not mean that he does not have any leadership skills. (However, he does lack experience.)

Now, McCain may be that stereo typical "white politician," yet he does have experience; the problem with him is his Vice President. What saddens me is half of his adds are attacking Barack for being unprepared and not ready for office, when Sarah Palin has the least amount of experience out of all of them...

All I am trying to say is that one should weigh the facts and make a decision based upon the candidates personal views and abilities, not their age or skin color.
