Poltics

It seems that everywhere I turn, I keep seeing a political comment or a political cartoon.  Yes!! It's election season, I understand that.  I would have to be a hermit living under a shell before the invention of television not see that this seems to pre-occupy a lot of people's time (and the wealthy's money.)

First, I'm not saying that politics is bad.  After all, we need someone to govern and make laws so that we don't live in total anarchy.  Although, given the political climate we live in right now, that may not necessarily be a bad option.  In the United States, it seems to boil down to two major parties, Republican or Democrat.  Ahh, you may wonder which I am.  If you are still wondering, then you don't know me very well.

So, given the political nature of the world.  It can't help to explain that money makes the world go round.  (Which some people believe is just a saying, but those of us with enough common sense know it's the truth!)  Money makes politics run.  I personally don't give money to any politician or political party directly.  I would have to first find a candidate that I totally agreed with and could support.  (At this point, I primarily vote for the candidate I think would do a better job than the other one--meaning not exactly always who I want in office.)  I also don't think that anyone necessarily has to provide financial support to a candidate.  But the caveat is, historically the person who raises the most funds, is the one who actually wins the election.  (Back to my point- money makes the world go round!)

So instead of putting your money where your mouth is (political pun most definitely intended), why not put your time into figuring out what the candidates and their political alliances are all about.  DO your homework!  What laws could be changed that you can't live without!  What laws do you think need changing.  Who will keep your interest in the White House, the Senate, any branch of government?  That's who you vote for!  Do or don't vote in this election solely based on what political affiliation you associate yourself with!  But I do stress, IF YOU CAN---VOTE!!
