REPUBLICAN-DEMOCRATIC, THE TRAP OF POLITICS

Someone told me today "If you were not a liberal as a teen, you had no heart", "If you were not a conservative by the age 30, you had no brain." I see truth in this statement. Throughout the years I have witnessed a slow but tangible change in my own political views. Although I continue to holster many liberal stances, and still view myself as a Democrat, my needs in life have changed, so too has my political beliefs. For instance, at 20 I could not understand why we as a nation do not simply give the homeless money, food, shelter, etc. Even though this humanitarian belief is commendable, it is equally naive.
Gun control. At 20, I saw no reason for me or anyone else in the United States to carry a firearm. I had no use for one, and growing up in the San Francisco Bay area, hunting was not something we did. Firearms were only found in ghettos and meant violence. Now, I see the right to carry a firearm is not simply about just carrying a firearm, but a fight to preserve the rights of the constitution.
Does my current or past belief system make me a Republican, Conservative, Liberal, Demoratic, Libertarian? Ultimately these distinctions or classifications are irrelevant. For it is these classifications that restrict new thoughts and beliefs. I like most Americans do not fit perfectly into any of these categories. We have our own belief systems brought about by our own experiences.
I suspect that no matter what an individuals political philosophies may be, Americans political desires are not as far apart as politicians may lead us to believe. I hope it is this change and open mindedness that will serve as the catalyst towards America's growth.

WHERE ARE OUR LEADERS ???

As I continue to watch the ongoing Presidential election one thing strikes me as amazingly clear. America is lacking true leadership. Although most of our current presidential candidates have varying beneficial traits I continue to ask myself the same question. Are these the best leaders America has to offer?

First let's look at the Republican side of things:

http://projects.washingtonpost.com/2008-presidential-candidates/john-mccain/multimedia/

John Mccain: Let's get real. Here we have an extremely honorable man (as far as his military service goes), Vietnam vet, Prisoner of war, etc. But President? I do not know the man personally, and in all fairness have never really researched any of his views or beliefs. But President of the United States? No Way!

http://projects.washingtonpost.com/2008-presidential-candidates/rudy-giuliani/

Rudy Giuliani: O.K.! We all know he is "America's Mayor" and I truthfully was impressed with his potrayed leadership shown during America's most tragic moment. He strikes me as an intelligent man, who unfortunately has recently made a number of horribly questionable decisions. He is all but out of the race.

Mike Huckabee: Who is he? I know he won in Iowa, but who he is? This guy is so rehearsed I don't think he actually knows who he is. He has the personality of a carbuckle. He is definately not the next president.

Now the Democratic's:

Hillary Clinton: President of the United States? O.K., she has been in the game awhile, play's politic's out of the book, and seems extremely competent.But she is a robot. She has been playing politics for so long, I truly believe that she doesn't even remember what her own opinions are. She is a power hungry robot. Contradictory to some male opinions, I would love to see a woman president. But please people, not this woman.

Barack Obama: Intelligent, well spoken, seems to really want positive change, etc. The problem is he is not a very effective politician. This could be a benefit. Maybe he is not yet tanted giving him the ability to create real change. This might be the case if the government was made up of one individual. But the government is swarming with thousands of hardened politician whom Barack Obama may not be prepared to deal with. Hopefully, we will see.

The Others: This group includes everyone except the aforementioned. To this group, I say good luck next time.

The point is, Americans are left with choosing the best of the worst. As a nation we are forced to choose the best of the group, as apposed to choosing the best candidate for the job. Where are our leaders?
