Politcs

Now that I am older, I have been paying more and more attention to our nations politics. One thing I saw with the last election was that some, not all, but some African Americans voted for Obama just because he was "black". I think this is down right ignorant. If you were a African American and you voted for him because you had the same beliefs, then that is fine, but to vote for him just because he was black is ignorant. Another thing I have seen within the past few years is that people voting either Democratic or Republican no matter who the candidate is. Most people will deny this, but I know some people that who do this. I believe that you should vote on the person, not the party. Of course if you are Republican, then chances are you will normally vote for Republican, but do not let that stop you from giving the other party a chance. I will vote who I believe is best for this country, no matter what party he or she is from. People need to look past their pride and ignorance and look at what is best for their country.
