A Hop, Skip and Jump Away From The Elections!

Four people are in everyone's minds and on everyone's lips as the last days of election are rounding up, two of which stand under the name Republican and two Democrat.
For those of you who know me you know I was raised by a mom who wasn't afraid to voice her opinions however she was informed and when it came to politics she always looked at both sides. This was something that she taught me to do, she taught me that everybody has different beliefs and everybody has their own strengths and there is no doubt that we each have our own weakness'. This philosophy lays true for everyone, even politicians... I've noticed many people will look just for the bad in the candidates not of their party, and that assumptions will be made that just because a certain candidate runs under a certain ticket means they will make all the issues you disagree in, legal.(for example many people believe that because a candidate is a democrat they automatically are going to make a federal law that makes abortions are legal.) This kind of ignorance is so frustrating no matter the issue or the side, each candidate is different with each issue. Another problem I've found as I've listened to and discussed issues and the election with others is, the many people who are voting for a candidate because they are LDS, and members of the church are "suppose" to vote republican, THIS IS NOT TRUE. The church has never declared its support towards one party or the other, all that has been said is to prayerfully choose your candidates, consider their views and standards and choose the one that you feel will best serve this country. If you feel like this year it is the republican candidate then choose them, if you feel it is the democrat then that should be equally respected. Finally there is no need to yell at and belittle people with opposing views, share, discuss, explain, many times your opinion may be more correct or sensible then someone else's and all they need is an explanation of why you feel the way you do.
I encourage everybody to look at issues look at the candidates and have fun learning about the potential leaders of this country. We are so lucky to live in a country that we have a vote in who will lead this great nation.
