I really don't see why everyone is so up in arms about this election. With Hilary, if you didn't support her it was because you were betraying women everywhere. With Obama, it's because he's too young and doesn't have enough experience. And with McCain, it's because everyone sees him as another Bush.
I've made several posts about America and her political stances before and quite frankly, I stand by the belief that America doesn't KNOW what she wants. Our country was in trouble LONG before this election came about.
I mean all of the tell-tale signs were there: problems with food, oil, democracy, freedom of speech, foreign policies, etc, etc.
America isn't in bad shape because of this election. America is in bad shape because of the PEOPLE. Besides, the people we elect to office never do anything good anyway. Nine times out of ten, they're always in trouble because of some scandal (whether it revolves around money, sex, etc, etc).
The point I'm trying to make is that while I can definitely understand why no one's really pumped about this election, I think we shouldn't be so quick to blame the candidates for America's problems.
Like I said, America was in trouble long before this election ever came about. Everything that's going on right now is happening because of the choices WE made.
