Growing Up & the 2012 Election

Growing up I never really paid attention to politics because my parents did read into it as much as the others around us. Now that I am older and cartoons are not the only thing I watch on television anymore , politics is something that I simply cannot avoid. From the day I turned 18 the first thing that came to mind is " I can now vote." As the election day came closer and closer, I thought " who am I really going to vote for, I need to find out more information on these guys." Most of the ads I saw on television was one person bashing another person, rarely getting any information on what exactly these people wanted to change. But what I did see was the main points of who wanted what for this country. Romney wanted more jobs and Obama wanted to raise the taxes for the rich and create a good health care system.

So what can I say? Campaigns are sometimes childish.
