Our Next President
I'm really having a hard time deciding on who to vote for president. Since the beginning I have not liked Obama, but now I'm having second thoughts about McCain. I thought I wanted to vote for McCain and now I'm not so sure. The problem is with his vice president. I'm glad it's a woman, but it seems like a ploy to me. I think he chose her because he wants to try and get Hilary's votes. Another reason I believe he chose her is to get the oil from Alaska, I mean she is the governer of Alaska. I don't believe he chose her for her abilities, but instead to get more votes. One thing I don't like about her is her view on abortion. I know Republicans are usually against abortion, but I don't like what she said in her speech. She said she wants to make abortions illegal in every state and even illegal for women who have been raped or incest. I believe that is wrong. If someone has been raped then I don't think they should be punished even more and have to bear a child if they don't want to. She is trying to enforce her religious views on others. I think everyone should have their own opinion, but that doesn't mean she should take away a woman's right to choose. I really can't say what's right and wrong, and neither can she. I have relgious beliefs too, but you can not force them on others like she is trying to do. That is what America's about... Free religion. If this does become illegal then lots of women are going to get hurt because they are going to do it regardless. It should not be used as a method of birth control, but it should be there as a choice. I know she is just the vice president, but she can have an influence on the president. I know that really doesn't seem like a big deal, but it is to me for some reason. I'm still going to vote for McCain, but she makes me have second thoughts.
