Youth of the Nation

A common misconception in today’s society is that students and the youth of America should care about the politicians, but the truth is in the definition; Politics- the art or science concerned with winning and holding control over a government (Webster.com). It appears that today’s politicians will lie, cheat, steal, and deceive the American people in order to get elected or hold control in the government; the most accurate example being John McCain.
Mainstream Republican radio hosts, newspapers, and online media sources all bring John McCain’s history into question and why wouldn’t they? The overwhelming evidence suggests that John McCain is not a conservative and is in fact a liberal. He voted against a Bush tax cut, which did stimulate the economy. He voted for an amnesty bill that would give all the illegal immigrants in this county citizenship in 24 hours! But of all things he wants to stay in Iraq and possibly attack Iran. I’m not suggesting an immediate removal of troops from Iraq, but we are increasing military spending which will weaken the dollar and ultimately keep the United States in the direction of a recession all while we help build a nation that is constantly influenced by Iran and Al Qaeda. Right now we are just the wet sand holding up the sand castle, which is bound to break away once we leave. We know John McCain was a P.O.W. and should be honored as such, but does that service justify the position of Commander and Chief?
Since his time in Vietnam he has been a politician and knows nothing of working in the private sector. Once you are in political office for so long some one is bound to bribe you to vote in a certain way and the longer you are a politician the less a person can relate to the people they govern. I am not suggesting that I am a better candidate for president, but I know and understand the mindset of a twenty-one year old college student. McCain is a politician and has been so for many years therefore he understands the needs and mindset of politicians.
As student and youth of the nation how can we be expected to sort through the fallacious banter, i.e. the debates, and decipher the truth? John McCain is a true politician and trained in the deception of the American people, why are Republicans willing to nominate him? We need a president to bring us out of the dark ages of George Bush as Ronald Regan did for Jimmy Carter and that candidate is not John McCain.

Is McCain Electable?
