Even More Confused Than Before
I am registered with a certain party. We are going on three weeks in this class. I am beginning to see that my party might have some "pie in the sky" views. When I look at the only other real competition, I see that their views are opposing. There seems to be a line drawn down the middle.I think that this is a high stakes popularity contest and that many issues will remain unchanged after the election. I am concerned about the amount of blind-folded people throwing darts at ballots. My hands are in the air right now. I really hope that this will all make sense in time.

I think that most Americans are on the same page as you are. That is why a lot of campaigning helps candidates win, because I think people tend to vote who they see the most on television or hear the most on the radio. I do not think that many people follow and/or understand politics and just vote blindly.
The further along the campaign goes, the true differences in each candidate will show. You're not the only one confussed right now, I see where you're coming from. At the moment, those that I am researching all seem the same. Hopefully their true colors will show in time.
Party or no party I think we should do a debate with all canidates, while they are strapped to a lie-detector test then we can vote for the most honest one.
That would be a good idea. I think in some ways polititans stand behind some things in order to win the approval of the public, rather then voicing what they really think. A good business plan isn't it? lol
I understand where you are coming from. Voting isnt my favorite thing to do, because most of it doesnt even make no sense to me. By me taking Gov. I will have a better chance at understanding Political issues.
I like the way you think lturner. If you really don't know who to vote for do what most other Americans do, vote for the best looking.
Martin, I don't think I would go that far but many people have so littlte information when they vote thats about what it comes down to. Or they just blindly vote the way others do.
