Ok, I’m really getting tired of hearing about the elections. That’s all you hear about, aren’t there more important things for the news to be reporting rather than what the candidates are saying and doing? The elections are depressing enough as it is, haven't the candidates said all there is to be said? I mean lately they seem to be playing a bunch of broken records.

What I really want to know is, do the people voting really truly realize the impact that the next president has? I’m not talking about this election in general, but people don’t seem to realize that every single(or almost all) persons who has been elected president has made some sort of impact or change which can more than likely still be seen in today’s society.

What a lot of people really don’t realize is with the next president they elect, those people only have 10-40 years to deal with and live with the policies and problems that the next president is going to implement and make. What is unfortunate is that its my generation, those who are just under age to vote and also the younger generation or voters, have another 60-70 years to deal with and try to fix the problems which our next leader may make. In this country, we are still dealing with the social security system that was first implemented by FDR in 1935 which over the years has totally been screwed up and corrupted that it can barely operate properly or do what is supposed to do. What about welfare? A system started almost 60 years ago that over time has become so corrupted and misused that those who really need welfare can hardly get it.

No matter who is elected, that person will institute policies and laws that will last many years. Shouldn’t we make sure that that person will put forth and implement policies and laws which will have a positive impact on this country for years to come and help to stop and prevent the corruption that ravages our government?

And by the way, I’m not implying above that minors should be allowed to vote, I think that would be the worst thing to do. Most minors have to radical thinking and may be easily charmed by a candidate into thinking that irrational policies are what this country needs.

So when you go to vote November remember that depending upon you age, you won’t have to deal with what this president is going to do as long as your children or grandchildren will.

Ok, stepping off the soap box now.

PS, for those wondering, McCain Palin '08 all the way!!!
