How do you label yourself? The United States split between Republicans and Democrats




The time has arrived, and a new man will soon be living in the White House. As our country becomes completely engrossed in the presidential elections, a split is quickly formed between parties. With this division comes the question; are you a Democrat or Republican? It seems as if you have to choose a side, and decide how you are going to define yourself as a voter. Sometimes this label may cast a bias over who would make a good president.
John Mccain and Barack Obama may become great leaders or unsuccessful front men, but it may not be based on the party they identify with. I think a good president needs strength, leadership, and determination. I have faith that people will choose a president who they see fit, and who's ideas they agree with. People should not to let the label of party determine their vote. I hope that people become less fixed, and our able to step out of their own prejudice. This way they can vote who they truly believe is a better candidate, and not just pick the man who represents the party they are registered under.
As our country is desperately searching for peace, I hope we are able to find it and have it remain after these elections are over.
