I hate to say it folks, but we are talking about politicians here. People whose sole purpose in life is to say one thing and either do another or not do anything at all. This 2008 election, like the previous one, is basically summed up by the old tag line, 'I'm going with the lesser of three (eventually two) evils.' What does that mean you ask? Well it basically tells me that in the billions of people who live in this country we can't find a single decent human being to whom is essentially good at heart and has minimal skeletons in their closet. But that is like finding a needle in a haystack. Living in the information age only allows people to discover every single thing about a particular candidate and expose it to literally everyone in the world. Some may say this is a good thing. Why shouldn't we know everything about the people who will become the president of the United States of America. Well then let me ask you this, would John F. Kennedy have been elected if every single thing about his personal life was exposed. As much as we hate to admit it, JFK wasn't the best morally defined person either. But he was an iconic president because he was actually able to argue issues rather than his playboy activities. Barrack Obama would already be the Democratic nominee except people dug into his personal life and found out that the deadbolt on his skeleton closet was about to burst because it was so full. Why do I believe this election won't bring any real change, because politicians can't even define what 'real' change would be. Real change is World War 3 or a world wide utopia, because those are 'real' changes. Whoever wins this election may bring about some small changes, but gas will still be high, and people will still pay for it. Houses will still be bought or sold, babies will be born and people will die. Nothing really changes, especially if one man or woman is elected president for 4 to 8 years. Everyone thought that George W. Bush was going to bring about the apocalypse, but he didn't. He was just another president, just another man, and in 180 some odd days someone else will get the job and we will all criticize them too for the errors they make and hardly recognize their accomplishments till ten years after they are out of office. So folks, go out and vote for who you think is the lesser of three (two) evils, bet big, roll the dice and we'll all take our chances, because in the end, it's still going to be the same old @#&$, just on a different day.
