Well, I finally voted. As sad as this may sound, this is actually my first time voting. For years I had very little interest in politics, but my political side began to itch just before I started hanging out in JU, right before Bush's second term. By then I still did not have the drive to get myself registered to vote so I missed out on voting in 2004 and when 2006 came, I was still not mentally ready.

Well, that all changed this year. Seeing how things were going, I felt it was my duty as a proud citizen of this great country called the United States of American to go out and make my voice heard thru my right to vote.

Unlike many around the country, I went to vote at about 5:30 PM and there were no lines what so every, I was actually in and out in about 5 minutes. The voting system used was not all that complicated although the way the ballot was set up could have been made much more clearly, I can see how some might get confused and some ballots may become invalid.

I will be honest and say not only did I vote for McCain/Palin but I voted Republican across the board. I have issues with the Democratic position and I just couldn't see myself voting for them.

Here's my proof:



I hope McCain wins, but if Obama does I will simply accept it and hope for the best. As of today I will not only work to educate myself in manners of Gov't inner workings, but I will also treat every day as if the end is near. That is simply my feelings about Obama as President. If I were Black and running for President, I would not want to go down in history as the First Black President who got voted in, not because I was the best choice, but because I was Black, minority and anything but Bush.
