Most of you know that I both hate politics and find it interesting. (I’m complicated) I hate political parties, blind devotion to political parties, and politicians as a group. But there are certain issues that I do care about, and I choose to believe that motivated politicians have the power to address some of the problems we face as a nation. Since the war in Iraq makes my blood boil, I look forward eagerly to January 2009, when a new president will take office and (I hope) start ending the war and making wiser use of our troops, equipment, and tax dollars. Since he was one of the only people in Congress to actually vote AGAINST starting the war in the first place, I currently support Illinois Senator Barack Obama. I like many of his ideas on issues that matter to me such as health care, poverty, energy, the environment, foreign relations, and immigration. Despite rumors to the contrary, he is also a devoted Christian and has been since years before he entered politics. Check out his website to learn more.
