The Last Political Rant
Hmmm... well OK, that's probably not true. There'll be more I'm sure. But this one is of a different nature.
After being consistently unimpressed with the Democratic Party's lack of backbone and quickness to cave in to conservative demands for the sake of popularity, I discovered the Libertarian Party. Until now I'd been torn whether or not I should vote for Kerry in order to keep Bush from getting into office or voting my heart, which doesn't echo the ideals of the Democratic Party. To me, that party is nothing more than a slightly less conservative Republican Party. And they both pander to the same special interests.
I'm not going to write a long rant plugging another party. If you are interested in politics at all, or plan on voting in the next election (which I hope you do), then may I suggest taking a look at the following websites: http://www.lp.org, http://www.gp.org. Feel free not to change your political views or your vote, but please just take a look at these very interesting and refreshingly different parties that are rapidly growing in popularity and drawing votes equally from both Republicans and Democrafts. (In fact, there are a lot of high-up Republican senators who have said they plan on voting for Badnarik instead of Bush this year.)
Just FYI, there are 38 people running for president this year! Do your duty as an American to learn what each of them stands for. Don't limit yourself to the two big parties. I'm still researching other parties, but I can tell you this: I will vote for the one I truly believe in.
