One Of The Dumbest Thing I’ve Ever Heard

Tweet

I heard a man say, in a news interview, that he was voting for Hillary Clinton because his son was due to be born within a few weeks. The man wants to be able to say within his son’s first year the first black man and the first woman served as President of the United States. I have nothing against the first black man or the first woman serving as President. I just think to vote for someone for that reason is dumb. Yes, we will have a woman for President whether it is the upcoming term or some other term, but let’s not vote someone into office just because the person is a woman. Or just because the person is a certain race or has certain religious beliefs. The person elected to run our country should be the person we feel will do the best job. Let’s not be so eager to put someone into office just because of their gender, race or religious beliefs. That should hold true in any election–not just the upcoming one. We should vote the smartest we can and not vote for silly reasons. Do you feel the person you are voting for will do the best job in the office? That is what you need to ask yourself. Not say to yourself, I want that person in office because we have never had a person of that gender, race or religious beliefs in office before. Read the voting pamphlet and study all you can about the candidates and make an informed decision on who will be the best to serve our country. I also believe anyone who is qualified to vote should get out and vote. If you are legally able to register to vote I urge you to register. Over a person’s lifetime there will be more than just the President to vote for or against. Also being a registered voter gives you the right to legally sign petitions to get laws on the ballet to be voted on.
