The Role of Politics...

Hello All...

I really suck at keeping up with a blog, mostly because it requires me to sit down and concentrate on something! You will probably notice that most of my posts occur when I am not coaching a sport, mostly because thats when I have the most free time. Anyway, I would like to give my opinion on politics...yep, its a controversial topic, but I think my spin on it will not be!

I have heard it said that you cannot trust in a person or political party to fix America. That when we put our hopes in things other than God, we will always get disappointed. This statement is most definitely true...without a doubt. So, with that said...here I go!

Have you ever had an old car...like a piece of junk car that barely runs, it costs you money in oil, because it leaks...the transmission keeps needing work, its just a terrible, terrible car. What if I told you that you could trade in that car for something more reliable and something that more suits your needs? And...what if I told you that it is completely and totally free?!?! I know, sounds great, right? Here is the problem...unlike cars, people look at politicians differently (like the old phrase one mans junk is another mans treasure) and people view the role of government differently as well! So...if you think we have a 'piece of junk' car that keeps costing you money, then vote to remove him. But, if you think he is like an Aston Martin against a field of Ford Pintos, then don't!

My major concern with Americans that do not vote, is that they truly think that both political parties are the same, that they really do not have many differences...you could say, they are the same car...so why should I care?!?

They are most definitely NOT the same...there are fundamental differences between the two on almost every single major issue. So...research, find out where you stand on issues, always ignore TV ads and then vote for the person that meets your needs, it may not be a luxury car, but voting is a luxury you can't afford not to take!

This blog post does not endorse any candidate, however the blogger does (I am just not saying).
