Voting

Today I sent in my absentee ballot information so that I can vote in the up coming elections. I still don't know who I'm going to vote for. A lot of people here are very angry at President Bush. I didn't vote for him because of his foreign policy. I voted for him, because I thought he would be good for American business, but other than giving the SEC more power he really hasn't done anything good. Apparently his new tax cuts are just going to increase the deficit and not actually help a lot of people. Although I don't want to vote for Kerry either, because he can't seem to take a stand on anything. Bush is dumb and everyone knows that. I still don't know what Kerry is. It should be interesting to see who else is going to be on the Pennsylvania ballot. Maybe I will vote for a third party. I think the U.S. needs a strong third party, because many times the Democrats and the Republicans say the same thing and then do exactly what the other party would do. Bush is talking about the benefits of big government while Kerry talks about controlling spending. Even though I don't know for who I'm going to vote I am going to vote, because I think not voting is bad. I don't like people that criticize the government and never vote. Voting is every Americans right to change what the don't like in government.
