politik

I don't usually like to talk politics unless it's with my very close friends because it's so personal to people. At times I'm really inspired at how emotional and passionate people get about it, sometimes it bugs the shit out of me. Everyone has their own opinion and tries to keep talking the wax out of your ear until you agree with them. This seems to me what politics is all about and that is totally why I majored in applied sciences. Pretty much there is a cause/effect, black/white, multiple choice K-format answer. I don't like grey.

But I'll go against what I just said and speak my mind for a moment. I think that no matter what we're better off without GWB, but if Hillary gets the nomination I'll be so disappointed with politics in general. I think she's a good lady, I'm sure she'd make a great candidate. Something about her gives me the impression she feels entitled for this role, much like the way GW felt when he first ran for prez. I feel like she thinks this is the role for her and its the right thing to do. Hmm. The fact that a woman is potentially running for president should be so inspiring to me, but I don't feel that way at all with her. I wouldn't find it monumental or revolutionary if she became president. So many people who have had absolutely no interest in voting or politics have come out of the woodworks to vote for Obama. And it's so neck and neck that it's going to be disheartening if he loses.

Oh well. This is why I can't get so into this shit. I personally was hoping for Edwards.
