Is politics a pure waste of time to follow? - PamelaKEscarcega - 01-27-2011
I have not seen much come out of any political candidate. You can vote for your favorite candidate, but your life probably still remains same or worsens. Same holds if the opponent is elected. Then why follow politics as if its most important thing in the world?

Fact is long as there are conservatives, life in America will not be great.

To be honest, the sun will come out no matter which candidate wins.

I don't agree with that at all...
You can't say anything about Politics if you are only watching the mainstream media and not taking the time to dig a little deeper.
John McCain and Barack Obama represent two polar opposite forces in this world...
These two ideologies are like Yin and Yang... part of all of us, yet very different when isolated and given power.
Which one of them is our "leader" makes a difference...
But even if you're not into the Presidential thing - you should vote locally.

Usually. Thomas Jefferson himself once said that "pure minds are not attracted to power". However, if we all completely ignore who is running our country, chances are we will lose the civil rights that Jefferson fought for.
But I looove watching "The West Wing", so go figure.
