A top article on a news website this morning was what the wives of the Presidential candidates wore to the debate. The first paragraph states the Michelle Obama "re-wore" her dress. Seriously, people? As long as they have on clothes, WHO CARES?? And if I spent as much money on a dress as I'm sure she must have, why would I not wear it again?! This is really a news-worthy tidbit of information?!
The fundamental problem with our political system is not the candidates, or the economy, or the issues. The problem is us. We vote, and then we complain...on Facebook. Sure, out political system is broken, but it was designed to have our input on issues. Don't complain on Facebook-- email or call your reps. Pay attention to the laws and such passing through the lawmaking bodies.
Honestly, this election for me is a matter of choosing the least worst candidate. I don't like either of them. But if I list out my issues and add and subtract points for how each candidate's position lines up with Biblical principles (however stable that position might be...), Romney gets a few more points. So that's who I'll vote for.
Here's another thought: maybe it doesn't matter who gets elected. The root issue is the general population's heart status. Unless God changes people's hearts, no real change is going to occur. If more people are told of Christ and his message, worldviews will be changed and it will affect politics in the long run.
But seriously. Go vote.
ADDENDUM: And people, take the high road. Sure, all those anti-Obama/anti-Romney jokes and cartoons may be funny, but they don't help your case. One man didn't make the whole mess, and one man can't fix the whole mess. Ok, I'm done now.
