The Empress Wears No Clothes

Is it just me that understands the importance of voting and knows what should matter when determining who should be elected? Since the Republican Party announced Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as the Vice Presidential pick I've heard many people saying "I'm voting for Palin, she's hot". Sarah Palin is a nice looking woman but looks should not be the deciding factor when it comes to who should run a country. It is embarrassing to see that we, the citizens of The Unites States of America, are so simple-minded and ignorant. I am saddened by those that are only interested in the material things in life and are viewing this election as a race for prom king or queen. The appropriate things to do would be view the facts, seek answers and ask questions. Who is going to get our soldiers out of this long-lasting war? Who is going to give the people from my community tax cuts? Which candidate will give poor communities the support and resources they need to provide disadvantaged students with an opportunity to reach their full potential? Who will try to get our gas prices down? Rather than vote for someone based on gender, color or looks research what each individual stands for. Do not be blinded by the looks of someone and ignore what this country needs, CHANGE!

Question of the Day:
What changes would you like to see the next President make?
