(no subject)
well, well, well..
this evening my mother and i were watching the news together and all they kept talking about was the war and Condaliza Rice. Finally it snapped in me at how I truly feel about it all. before tonight i always just saw both sides and agreed with what both sides said. not possible, i know, but for some reason i did. my family's liberal, very liberal and therefore they drilled in me that republicans and what they stood for were wrong. During the election, I realized that I do feel strongly for the democratic beliefs, but i can also see where the republicans are coming from. I love Bush, he's so goodlooking, yet i do not think that he should be running our country. i really do not know who should just yet. however, i also dont think putting someone else in power at this time will do anything. we are stuck in a war. a war that just makes me so upset. all these poor people. it makes sense that we really shouldnt be in one. i first wanted the war because, like many, i wanted revenge until i realized that this wasnt revenge, this is totally different. I also dont stand for the conservative beliefs that republicans stand for, such as gay marriage, abortion, etc...
Financially, coming from a family where money always was an issue, I'm totally for democrats. ahhh! taxes! i really do not understand them, but i sure do know that they arent helping out my family. Since it's exam week, and i'm going over history, ive been wondering why Bush just doesn't do what washington did, sort of, with the neutrality proclamation. yes, it was totally different. however, the main reason washington issued this proclamation was because the country wasn't financially or militarily ready to enter the war. well, the united states keeps spending and spending and spending all this money that we don't have. Our debt is so large. Where are our taxes going? oh thats right, the war we shouldnt be in, Bush's inaugural ball... ;) oh bush.
besides all this political mumbo jumbo, it's also made me think about the war. I talked to my dad about it last weekend and how there really might be drafts and how i would stay in college and most definitely not go. He told me that I really can't determine that until i am in the position to. Now thinking about it and watching the soldiers on the news, I think I would be able to handle it. I most likely wont enlist, unless there is a draft then I will. GO UNITED STATES!! holler.
well i guess i should go study. . . . .
yes! i finally took a stand on politics (thats one new years resolution down!)
