I moved into a new apartment this weekend and my mother came out to help with the move and buying new furniture and getting everything set. She is a registered Democrat, never voted for a Republican for President, and feels Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton were the best presidents while she was alive. This year will be different, this year, she is voting for McCain in the presidental election.

While I voted for Obama and a majority of my family members will more than likely vote for Obama, I respect her right to vote for whoever she wants to. Her decide to vote for McCain wasn’t an easy one, she was a Clinton supporter in the primaries, but she feels she doesn’t know enough about Obama and at times doesn’t trust Obama. She feels that with Obama we may not know what we are getting, but with McCain we know, four more years of Bush. She doesn’t like Bush, doesn’t like 99% of his decisions, but feels that Bush didn’t destroy the country entirely, so McCain can’t do much worse.

In the end you may not agree with the decisions of your family members we need to realize that everyone has a right to vote for who they want to and we need to continue to support them.
