Voter Apathy
As a conservative, I’ve usually just voted that way in elections (as expected, I suppose.) The upcoming election has not sparked exceptional interest but for the firm belief I hold that McCain will not win. I can’t put the TV on without seeing something about either Obama or Hillary, and sometimes the report is about both of them. I decided early on that a Democrat would win this next election, and when McCain was chosen as the Republican candidate, it sealed my suspicions. I don’t think McCain can win because he is wishy-washy and has shown himself to be a flip flopper and a panderer to the highest bidder. I really don’t like it that he is the Republican candidate, especially with some of the options we had going into the primaries.
I used to be much more into the whole political “thing,” and now an apathy has set in. I don’t feel much for any candidate (though my mother swears Obama is “diabolical” for some reason) and I hate to say it but I’d almost rather Hillary win over McCain. I just don’t like that man. I looked into Obama and Hillary’s health insurance plans and ideas, and I think I prefer Hillary’s, though I am curious to see if it can actually be implemented. The Republicans have not stepped up and addressed the need for health care for the middle class and lower classes/lower income people. Even if you make $30K a year, you can still be decimated with health care and insurance costs. One setback can wipe out your savings. This just can’t go on.
I don’t think I’m even going to vote (*gasp*). I feel that my vote won’t say much, anyway, and Texas will probably go to the Republican as always. I just sit back and watch and hope that whoever gets into office will start looking at the things the average family needs the most and I hope that person will be able to make lives a little easier.
