Beginnings

During my short life (so far), I have discovered one thing, and one thing only, that is always true about politics. Nothing is ever what it seems. The political race this year is the only one that I am truly old enough to remember, or understand. And this is the first year that I have felt truly motivated to get involved in politics. That's one of the reasons I started this blog. I want to investigate, to the depth that time and resources will allow, what EXACTLY each candidate (both mainstream and third party) stands for, what attacks they are levying against the other side, and ultimately, the truth. Although, actually, all truth is relative, but that's a philosophy discussion I hope to get into later, not something for this late-night blog. I intend to, over the course of the next few weeks, get into the nitty gritty details of politics, with as objective a point of view as possible. I want to truly understand what I am voting for, and what exactly is going on in this strange world I inhabit. I will try to separate my political and moral views from what I research and write, but I will not always be able to do that perfectly. If anyone else is out there and listening to me rant, I would love ideas about issues, candidates, and anything I may have missed. : ) So, no time tonight to get into much of anything. I'll sign off, and get back to this later, but be looking for some new and exciting posts soon about the way I see it.
