I'll vote in my first US presidential election tomorrow and I want to post my comments regarding my choice in this election. Before I make my case, I want to make following points regarding my general thinking about politicians:
1. They are all CROOKS. All of them belong in a prison for some duration for lying and quid pro qo which is illegal. They lie and make up facts in their favor regarding their opponents and you have to be a terrible person to do that.
2. Either they are very patriotic or a total moron. Why would you take a job which doesn't pay much, is 24/7 and whatever you do 50% of your people won't like your decisions/actions?
Having said that here are my choices:
1. For President, I'll vote for Barack Obama. I don't like his tax policies, Iraq policy or Big government policy but I'll vote for him as he seems to be smart. He can understand the grief of his citizens as he was poor, grew up with single mother and grand parents and knows how to succeed in life. I liked John McCain in 2000 primary but he is a different man today than in 2000. I question his judgement in picking Sarah Palin as his running mate and people he surrounds himself with. I was undecided till the first debate when he mentioned, "Senator Obama doesn't know/understand" gazillion time. That was a turning point for me after saying in a "Bible FAKE debate" that middle class is people making 3-4 million per year.
Having said that I won't regret if Sen McCain wins as he is a patriot and very deserving to be a president.
2. Besides that I am voting against all incumbents in my precinct/district except Cong. Gerlach and PA Attorney General Tom Corbett. Compared to other Americans, I am a political junkie so if I don't remember one thing you did in last 2 years, you are not getting my vote. So, Goodbye Mike O'Pake and David Kessler....
So, lets go and vote so that we can regret it together for next 2/4 years!!!!
