So, it's 10:05 PM and I am sitting here curious what to blog about when suddenly I hit this. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/wire-man-gop-race-michigan-15791661
This talks about the campaigning strategies that Santorum and Romney are using. These men just bash eachother continuesly going back and forth. The reason I picked this topic is because I'm curious as to why politics has to be this way. Why do men; people in general, feel the need to have to make someone else look bad just to earn a few more votes.
Someone shouldnt be judged based on a personal belief or made out to be some monster just because they don't have the same thinking. I believe that Romney was wrong to call Santorum out on his pro choice beliefs. It's his belief. Likewise, Santorum shouldn't even be thinking about Romney or scandals that he may have hidden if any exist. A man runs for president for the people, he is the figurehead for America. He is supposed to be the voice of the people and I just am disappointed that they have to tear eachother down just so they have a shot at winning. Also, on this particular link I was mainly aiming at Romney because he seems to be the one with the biggest mouth in my opinion thus far. Yet, he is also still winning so obviously something is going right for him.

Understanding Me.
Hello, my name is Anthony and I am a current student at Austin Community College. I am currently enrolled in an online government class and have been assigned to create and manage a political blog to post thoughts and gain a better understanding of how the political process of the government operates.
As of now I would consider myself an Independent. The reason is that I do not have a full understanding of politics, but I know my philosophy is in discrepancy with both Republicans and Democrats.
For instance, a discrepancy I have with the Republican party is they fact that they want to cut back Medicare benefits for the elderly. I believe this is a moral obligation that the government has to the people since they have already paid into the system.
On the other hand, I have a discrepancy with Democrats spending so much money on Medicaid. Many recipients of Medicaid are not trying to better themselves but are just living off the government indefinately. Medicaid should be an aide to get people out of poverty instead of encouraging people to stay in poverty. People live like this knowing that they will always have a safety net from government.
I feel there could be better solutions and I hope to aquire this knowledge from my government class.
