Stud


I am sold on McCain. Loved the part of his speech where he encouraged activism on the part of individuals who are dissatisfied with the direction politicians are taking us. 

"If you find faults with our country, make it a better one. If you're disappointed with the mistakes of government, join its ranks and work to correct them. Enlist in our Armed Forces. Become a teacher. Enter the ministry. Run for public office. Feed a hungry child. Teach an illiterate adult to read. Comfort the afflicted. Defend the rights of the oppressed. Our country will be the better, and you will be the happier. Because nothing brings greater happiness in life than to serve a cause greater than yourself."

I think our greatest problem in the country is apathy. When people pursue their own financial interests it may work well for the economy, but in doing so we must not forget to incorporate service and giving. Plus, I agree with the argument that Obama just doesn't have the experience necessary for the job. McCain is tried and tested and a better choice. I still would rather have Giuliani or Romney, but oh well. So far I'm liking the arguments for McCain. Still open for suggestions.
