Listen Between the Silence
Today is the first of three presidential debates between the two main political candidates. Where candidates can become internet sensations for hilarious rebuttals, or turned into cartoons for accidental slip-ups. The stakes are high, as is commonly said, but these stakes are higher than ever for these two in my eyes. I am still an undecided voter, with no political affiliation in the state of Florida which has been notably influential in presidential elections. So, as I watch the debate I am making sure that I can see between the key terms that the candidates use like: jobs, taxes, and businesses. Honestly, I have no interest in jobs, taxes or businesses because I am not directly affected by any of these. I do not have a job, I do not pay taxes, and I am not opening or running a business. What I will listen for is either candidate admitting they are human, or showing their true beliefs on a topic and risking some voters or some contribution money. In short, I want either president to "show their b***s" as my grandpa said. I want to vote for someone who in addition to wanting the best for the general population (which includes gays, lesbians, transvestites, democrats, liberals, republicans, immigrants, etc.) and will fight against anything to pass something that will show that generations will look back and give us the thumbs up.
