Finding Your Canidate...

"I can bring jobs back to Flint...", " I am America's candidate", "Its time for change". All comments that have been drilled through media outlets as overpriced attempts to get votes. Or is it? Did Mitt really think he could bring jobs back to a town that hadn't seen industrial growth since the outsourcing of the automotive industry? Does Barack truly see himself as the advocate for change? Can America bear the thought of turning the White House into a Bush/Clinton timeshare property. I do not discredit any of the candidates who have put themselves under the microscope for our scrutiny, however I feel like that its the same song all over again. When it comes down to it will Washington turn these strong willed candidates into Pennsylvania Ave. pen-pushers? Finding a candidate is something that in the past has been simple for me, but I pose that in this election, in a time where the economy is down, racism is on the rise and the War is far beyond what the public expected, there cannot be any simple candidates. There cannot be party-lines, color-lines nor can Americans allow the Media to make their decisions for them. There is the perspective, Find your truth...

Here we go

A 21 W.A.S.P. (white.anglo-saxon.protestant.male.), and hey, while we are at it, lets add S.F. (southern Frat-Boy). Why would I post, and more importantly, why would you care?  That is a question that I will attempt to find the answer to, and you will have to decide whether it is worth the time you spend reading.  I  hope to address the other side of issues that are commonly covered in classes, news publications or other sources that seem to thing that the popular opinion, is the only opinion. 
My goal is to both be informed and inform.  I hope to make issues that seem one sided have another side.  I want to be a voice of the people whose voice has been taking away because of the social constructs they were given without their choosing that are publicized as advantages.
