I hope you're paying attention

I just can't stand it any longer. I certainly hope that you're paying attention to what is going on in the media regarding the presidential candidates. I've already made up my mind and I'm not going to try to convince you one way or the other, but I'm going with McCain/Palin. He wasn't my first choice during the primaries but,f or me, it's a no-brainer at this point.

Now that I've said that I want to add this for you: If you haven't made up your mind but you do intend to vote then I urge you to make sure that you get informed about the candidates. That said, I also want to urge you to seek your knowledge through more than one outlet. Don't just watch or listen to mainstream media (CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, National Public Radio) you need to seek out the opposing point of view (Fox News, conservative talk radio). If you only listen to one side then eventually everything they say will sound like the truth when in actuality, it's far from the truth. In my opinion, the mainstream media seems to live in some alternate universe with a very distorted sense of reality. I promise, if you pay attention, you'll begin to feel the same way.

Well, I just had to get that one off of my chest. This election is a very important one for our country. They all are. Please take it seriously. If you're not informed, DON'T VOTE. Voting is a privilege not a right.
