Political Opinion

Since there's no one really I can talk about my political opinions to since it is such a touchy subject, as always I'm expressing them here.

Last night I watched the presidential debate between Romney and Obama and I just say, I didn't think I would have such a huge opinion on what I watched.
I have this habit of reading comments on youtube as well to read commenter opinions as often they catch things that I don't and I think I agreed with the comments.

One of them mentioned how Americans are so biased about their views based on Democratic and Republican beliefs, which I very much agree. I do not consider myself as either seeing that I just turned eighteen and only recently started to look into politics to become an informed citizen. I try to be as open minded as I can about the candidates  policies and try to see which one I prefer.

Policy wise I would say that Romney won the debate. He brought up a lot of good plans but it was weird how he continuously changed his opinion. It was weird and didn't make too much sense to me. If I was really unbiased then I probably would go for Romney.

As a person though, Romney bothered me by being rude the whole debate. He continued to talk and ignored the commissioner's attempts to manage the event. I didn't like that and although he was very determined to get his point across, it made me think less of him as a person.

Looking through the comments I also saw a candidate named Gary Johnson and he seems to have some rather popular support behind him as well and I would like to look into him to see if he could come up with something that mesh both ideas together and gain popular vote.
Now honestly I want to vote this November, but I don't think my vote will really make a difference living in a democratic state. Why not give it a try still.
