VOTE VOTE VOTE

It's a great day today to know that your choice is considered important. I took the time to go and vote early, to avoid the madness today, but I still uphold great value to this day. Many years ago I could not vote because of the color of my skin, and the gender of my sex. To know that I am able to now do something that people who never knew me fought that I could, is gratifying.

A coworker told me that my vote didn't matter because I live in a republican state where only the electoral votes count; therefore I shouldn't waste my time going to vote. I took that so personal, and yet so disrespectful. I responded offensively. I just didn't understand how can a friend or associate tell you something like that... I realize that when a person chooses a religion or a political party to support that its thier own personal choice, but when its drove by hate for the opposite of what they chose is not honest. For example, I have heard people say they hate my pastor; Joel Osteen. How can you hate someone you  don't really know. Your reason are because of how he teaches, or what you feel like is the wrong way of teaching. Is that a real reason to hate someone. Or someone my hate Barack Obama because he didn't fulfull all his promises in four years. Does it really result into hate? or is it something deeper?.

I may be wrong but when an individual find it reasonable to hate someone because they are of a different choice than their own, is fake. I like Barack Obama, I feel that he is a genuine good person. He cares about what he says, and he's honest. I also like Mitt Romney. I think hes a good family man, and strongly believes in what he says he can do. My reasons to vote for Obama is because he has not been able to fulfil his entire plan in four years. But within those years he has done things that has been big to me. Ending one of Americas largest threat of terrorist. He promise to bring our troops home and he did. He made moves to improve our unemployment rate and it helped. His opportunity is not over, he deserves more time. I really wish that Mitt Romney would of waited, for I also feel like he could of done a good job as our president. Butt he couldn't be completely honest in all his attacks or finger pointing. And to feel as though he also thing that I didn't matter as being apart of the other 47%, I found it offensive. But at the same time I don't know why he said that, or why he felt the need to say that. He may have a genuine reason behind it. I don't hate him for it, I just didn't like the comment. Happy Voting Everyone, May in God we Trust to put our finances and future decision maker in God's hands.
