politics.

anyone with half a brain that lives in California knows that we're in deep,
this hole that we've dug ourselves in isn't going to magically disappear.
we're in trouble for lack of better words.

i don't claim to know a lot about politics,
but i do believe i know a fair amount.
the 2010 election for a new governor is coming to a near,
and somehow this reminds me of the 2004 presidential election
bush vs. kerry.
those two candidates in my opinion were horrible,
and just like the 2010 election for California,
the big dogs
Meg Whitman, Steve Poizner, and Jerry Brown are horrible candidates (still in my opinion).
I've seen the campaigns that Meg Whitman and Steve Poizner's been spewing out,
slamming each other and making there promises.
my question is WHY?
not why they're slamming each other,
but WHY are they throwing millions of dollars down the drain when our state is in such a wreck?
if you have so much money to waste why don't you just hand the money over to the state?
i'm sure they can use a few million dollars.

what really fires me up is the whole immigration deal,
to me, it's like they're blaming the illegal immigration for all the problems that started with greedy politicians and other bad choices made.
it's like a witch hunt.
does this sound a little familiar?
well it does to me,
and if it doesn't think about the end of 1930-40's.

shouldn't we find a happy medium for this situation?
i'm not saying it's not contributing to the problems (illegal immigration),
but should we really cast EVERY illegal immigrant out,
even the ones working there bones off to make our lives better,
the ones who were brought to America when they were babies and all they know is there home in the U.S.
do we just ship them off back to there own country, defenseless?
Is that really fair?

i challenge you to look into this election for our future if nothing else,
don't vote for a side, vote for a cause.
it's sad how our society focuses on parties,
and we've put ourselves against each other.
don't think democrats or republicans,
think what's right from wrong for you.
and lastly,
it's not all black and white,
there's grey areas you have to take into consideration,
remember that.
