That being said, I wasn't exactly able to find the greatest job in the world. I'm working in a customer care center for a security system company. There are a lot of interesting people working there, and despite the occasional call that I wish I didn't get, I think that I will enjoy my time working at the company.
Except for one thing. Some of my coworkers love to talk politics. I hate politics. It is the number one reason that I stopped studying it. Also, I'm just not wild about any of the candidates. I see equally compelling reasons for NOT voting for any of them. Here is my quick rundown.
1. McCain
Reason to vote - Years of experience in politics.
Reason to not vote - Years of experience in dirty politics. I just don't like him.
VP Palin
Reason to vote - ?
Reason to not vote - I think it is silly for republicans to say that Obama has no real political experience, and then pick Palin. She has only been mayor of a small town in Alaska (even the "big" cities there are small), and then governor of Alaska for less than two years.
2. Obama
Reason to vote - Very convincing speaker, and charismatic.
Reason to not vote - Feel-goodery doesn't mean you can run a country
VP Biden
Reason to vote - ???
Reason to not vote -I think is is silly for democrats to say that McCain is an old white guy who is out of touch with America, and then to pick an old white guy that nobody has ever heard of.
So there you go. Who do you guys think will make a better President? better VP? I don't even know if I will be voting this election because I don't think that an election should come down to who I dislike the least.

Ok, so I admit I was disenchanted with McCain and not very excited about voting this November. But then I watched Sarah Palin speak. I loved that she seemed to be speaking from her heart - not just for the political expediency of it all. I love that she's a strong but not shrill witchy woman. AND she's had executive experience! More than all the others combined. In a study of the 5 best and 5 worst presidents, 4 out of 5 of the best had executive experience before becoming President and 4 out of 5 of the worst had NO executive experience at all (ie- were US Senators..sound familiar?)
Obama - have you heard him when he's not scripted? He's like... um.. .. ah... well..... umm..... and eventually bumbles his way to an answer that the media cleans up and saves his rear from making a complete idiot of himself (the recent "my muslim faith" gaffe). He has NO principles and changes what he says all the time. Plus, what has he really done? He has no record of Getting Things Done - except give nice speeches and get elected.
I dunno...I hate discussing politics. Like you, I don't feel that any of the candidates merits my support. What's the right choice when all of them seem wrong? Not voting? Bring that up, and everyone attacks you for not caring about your country. Sigh. Politics are just too sensitive to talk about in detail.
