It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

Well it’s that special time, one that only happens every few years. You have everyone excited, there’s magic in the air… as well as the sound of old man and women screaming insults at each other over the T.V. twenty four seven. That’s right, it’s an election year. People like always are in a buzz about hoes candidate they are going to vote four, which party they are a part of, and concourse the issues.

            Now some people believe that there is something special about this election that sets it apart from all the others. I however do not believe that this one is any more viral than the previous elections. It is true that we are in an economic down turn, and that many people are worried about the future of the nation. I, however, am not concerned about the state of the Union for a few key reasons.

            The first and foremost being that, in this election the candidates are pushing the same issues that their respective parties have supported in what thirty years. Is there truly anything new that already hasn’t pushed, discussed, and tossed back and forth between both parties in their struggle for power. I do not think so, with the democrats pushing heath care and fairness, and the republicans pushing tax breaks and their own conservative agenda.

             You know I believe that the county would do so much better if we cut the partisan bull and started to work together for a common cause. It’s hard to feel patriotic enough as it is when neither candidate seems particularly exciting and both parties act like enraged groups of toddlers and refuse to compromise in any way.
