politics
I can barely get on FB right now because I don’t want to argue politics. I feel that most people follow in the footsteps of their family’s politics. Some challenge it, but just like changing religion, I think it takes a lot to step outside of how you were raised. I realized I was raised left wing fundamentalist. I am a bleeding heart liberal.
So I know that with my bias, I vote my party, Democrat. So that makes me automatically against Romney. But there have been Democratic president’s I’ve liked more than others. And there have been Republicans I guess I disliked less. The thing I don’t understand is Romney has the most evil affect, the most dishonest, arrogant presentation. How did he even get the nomination?
The problem is, like many things lately, this whole thing makes me feel ill.

It makes me ill sometimes, too. I’ve just come to the conclusion lately that people are pretty much decided by now… which is why I’ve been quiet about it on FB latey. Plus, I feel like if they can’t do their homework and see what’s best for themselves (especially some demographics), I have less respect for them. I can’t help it. That may be jaded, but I just feel that people should be smarter than they often are, though it’s hard to really know just why. I guess it’s the family beliefs. My parents kept their political beliefs to themselves while I was growing up. I’m liberal because I’m just that way, in my heart. But that doesn’t mean that if the facts pointed to my party being the worst option that I wouldn’t vote against them; I would. Anyway, off my soapbox now.
