I have seen so many blogs for and against the various presidential candidates but it seem to me that we are losing out on what matters. It seems like we with the media leading this cause, is focusing on superfluous things vice the issues. For example:
Obama: Vote for him because he represents change. My question is what does that change mean? If you are going to recite one of his speeches, that doesn't float and please spare yourself. I think for this great position as President, we need something that's tangible. Besides, there have been many dictators, good and awful government leaders that were able to move the crowd with boisterous and smooth words only to fell or take their country in a direction that's worse (this country can always get worse).
McCain: He's too old and he's like Bush. What makes him like Bush, his color of his skin? McCain seems to be more of an independent and doesn't seem to stand behind his Republican or Democratic Party. It’s a toss to truly understand where he stands if we were to look at his voting record.
To me, we should be looking at the issues (e.g., economic/tax reform, healthcare, family and social, religious rights etc) of this country as a whole and seeing what each candidate will bring to the table. I’m not saying not to acknowledge the history making moment but let’s not lose site of the issues and how each candidate can address those issues.
The media needs to get back on track and to start focusing on both candidates vice one. I don’t know about you but focusing so much attention on one candidate or announcing what celebrity is supporting who doesn’t faze me one way or the other. I believe the media needs to focus on the issues of this country, what the candidates can do and most importantly their voting record.
Your thoughts!
