Who do I vote for! Or do I Vote at all?

I can’t believe it’s election day and I have yet to make up my mind on who to vote for!  I mean I went to the poll this morning at 7:00 A.M. and due to problems at a project I’m building I had to leave right before I voted!  So the issue is who do I vote for?  I mean everyone has made up there mind based on what ever factors they deem important to them and also on what the candidates are saying.  But at the end of the day it has to be about more than just the words and lies told during the campaign and about the reality of what will be done!  Who is the right man for the job?  Who can really make something happen to change the status of our country?

That is my major issue, I don’t have a clear idea!  But I do know I don’t think either candidate can do a great job, in fact none of them are totally capable of being president!  On one hand we have a man who can talk up a storm and charm anyone out of their panties!  The other is a man who many don’t like only because of who he has backed!  Yes BUSH sucked and was the worst president of our time and possible history, but a lot has to be said.  He doesn’t care what people think of him and he does what he feels is the best job as president.  Yes he spend billions of dollars on a war that even I dont believe in, but at the end of the day he also made a statement that we will not be bullied around and that you cant come into our country and cause havoc at  your own leisure!

We need someone with the mentality for the people and someone who has the balls to stand up and fight when necessary!  I dont believe in war and I dont like sitting back and being abused either so when push comes to shove I feel Bush made a choice to protect us as best as he thought possible.  Maybe not the best choice, but we havent been attacked since, so something must be right!

Barack as much as I would love to feel 100% about him, I cant!  I honestly can not back this man up 100% there are so many loops holes in what he says and what he is trying to implement that when trully analyzed we cant figure out who he is for!  We dont know if hes trying to make the poor man richer or the richer man poorer!  A lot of what he says makes no real sense and I dont know what to think right now!  I want to vote because it is something we all should take advantage of, but if you are unsure you cant make the wrong choice only because you have a choice!  Thats like letting a man go back to the streets after supposedly killing someone only because you dont know if he did it or not!  if you have 100% assurance he didnt do it you have to set him free, but if you have some doubt that he may be the one who committed the crime you need to hold him until proven otherwise.  Right now I feel that Barack has not completely convinced me he is the right man for the job and if he does win, and by the looks of it he will i just hope he can prove me wrong and make me feel that he deserves my vote.  Because having a presense and speaking very elequently doesnt make you the president, it is the change that you make while in office that does that!  All were doing is voting you in, now you need to earn that title and do what  you said you can!

So all in all, I may not vote this year, not because I cant or because i wont have time but only because I dont know who to vote for.  I am very split and unless something miraculously happens within the next few hours I wont vote at all.  Its sad when after such a long period of time in watching this whole campaign you are still stuck on who to vote for.  Im not the only one because I have met many who are in the same boat!  I dont want McCain because I dont want the same crap for another 8 years and I dont want Barack because in all honesty I dont trust his choices and what he seems to stand for.  I want change, but I want real change for all of us, not just the some.  Its not fair to favor one over the other and that is the problem with this country!  We have groups and in having so many different people workig against each other only causes huge problems so we cant fix it unless we come together to do so.  So until 2012 well see what happens with who ever wins, and hopefully by then I’ll know who to vote for. Sad I have to wait 4 years to decide.
