Let me start off by saying that I do not consider myself to be a Republican or a Democrat. I've never really paid that much attention to politics before so I am definitely a newbie in the political world. I honestly do not know who I am going to vote for. So I watched the Vice Presidential debate last night hoping that this speech would give me some clarity as to where to cast my vote.
Overall, my thoughts are that neither vice presidential candidate seemed to answer directly. They both seemed to beat around the bush. (Maybe it's my inexperience on the issues and I just simply don't understand what they are saying?) I was impressed with Governor Palin. I did not expect her to hold her own like she did, and I feel as though she is a smart, tough lady. However, I felt more of a connection with Senator Biden. I felt more comfort in what he was saying. I know that it is all marketing at this point and you have to weed out the false promises and lies. I am still undecided on my vote, and I am looking forward to learning more.
I can tell you that as I get older, my priorities have shifted. I've always been concerned with things that affected me directly such as taxes and whatnot. And I'm still concerned with taxes, but I also have my business to think about now. I'm interested in breaks for small businesses so that I can offer my employees affordable healthcare coverage. (I am interested in affordable healthcare coverage for myself, too.) I'm interested in tax breaks for small businesses, bringing our troops back from the war safely (and swiftly), environmental policies, stimulating our economy, aiding other countries that are in desperate need (Darfur), etc. I don't give a damn if our next President is a Republican or a Democrat. I want a President who will stand up, take responsibility, and correct things. I want a President that will help me to keep my business (that I work so hard for) alive and help me to make it thrive--I want to give my employees the healthcare and benefits that every working American deserves. I want--no, I DESERVE a President who will help America thrive again.

I am so proud of you my little blogger. I think your view is shared by many on the politics issue. All they do is blame the other about what someone in there party said within the last 100 years or so. I love the blogs keep them coming. I would blog but my seplling is not that great.
You should check out Ron Paul. He's a Republican congressman from Texas and was in the running for the Republican Presidential nomination. I whole-heartedly support his thoughts. Just Youtube his name and listen to how honest he is. I like that he doesn't feel the need to paint a rosy picture. He just tells it as it is.
