Presidential Candidates
In a world of uncertainty (which is every day) we now face the dilemma of whether a woman or a man of a minority race should be elected to the White House. The Republican candidates are in turmoil because none speak to the conservative base in this country. There really is no one running for President that can effectively lead this country on sound spiritual and moral principles.Hillary Clinton will tell any group she is in front of exactly what they want to hear or find some connection to that particular populace that she thinks will endear her to them. Whether its her membership in the Southern Baptist Church or discussing her "trials and struggles" growing up and even producing a "drawl" in her voice to sound like southern constituents. But ask her this, "What have you done in office as a Senator that has contributed to the improvement of American life?"'; "What bill have you sponsored to encourage economical growth and provide financial relief to the lower and middle class?"; "What are your plans for the burgeoning health crisis, insurance crisis, the war in the Middle East, nuclear armament of hostile nations or illegal immigrants that will protect true citizens of this country?" I hear rhetoric but now viable solutions.
Obama, what are your plans for the same? Or will it be politics as usual? Why should an Independent, such as myself, vote for you. As a conservative who left the Republican party because it wasn't, what are you willing to concede, compromise and promise to sway my vote and listen to you? Because you're black, of Christian/ Muslim background or the promise to leave Iraq? Where's the meat of your being? I listen to the news and read the papers and I am not gaining anything from you that promotes any reason to consider you.
And the Republicans? Who this religion, who's that religion? Who cares? Its about the security and growth of a population. Its about defining the culture of world wide melting pot, its about pursuing the American Dream of healthy, safe life void of corruption and betrayal.
Voting is a right of the American citizen. The citizen needs to better educate themselves on the political positions or each candidate and decide which candidate will best serve the Nation as a whole and not just personal bias.
My father is 95 years old, failing in mental status and health. Yet, on more than one occasion I have stated, "I would vote for my father than any one on the ballot today." Why? He is a person of sound judgement, morals and justice. Every person is judged on merit and not perceptions.
Maybe we should examine the elements that make up our spiritual nature, define our moral fiber and seek candidates that stand for American quality, sovereignty and honor.
Don't vote your race, culture, religion or creed. Use your mind. Voice your Vote
