Politics are changing drastically. In earlier times, it was about the candidate's platform and how they proposed to change America. Now politics are all about the private life of the candidate, and the platform is almost an obscure part of the election process. Obama is black and Muslim and Christian. McCain is a war veteran who survived as a ...

As the election draws ever nearer, the amount of advertising for and against all the candidates increases ever more. Looking at these advertisments, most of which I notice in the infrequent television watching that I attempt, one thing becomes clearer and clearer. We live in an age of dishonesty. It is impossible to watch one of the Obama ...

Almost two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to vote early. That was a great experience in itself (and quite quicker than it seemed to be going this past week!) but the best part was seeing the other people who were out to vote.There were, of course, the college students with dread locks and hemp bags supervising the election proceedings and a ...

            Let's be honest, shall we. Am I the only one getting really sick of everything being about politics? It's all you here at school. Two of my classes have me writing about it. My statistics teacher tries to influence our vote by constantly dropping Obama into the lectures. Yes, I ...

I am getting really tired of politics.  Talking about politics, hearing about politics, watching politics on T.V., getting political leaflets in the mail, writing about politics for class.

In the past few weeks it seems as though everyone is talking politics more and more, and with the up coming election I can see why. For one, the economy is not doing so well, and it needs change, but how fast can this change really come? If people want to think that the next president is going to be able to bring them out of the ''recession'' ...

I'm not sure if I'm the only one who has noticed just how diverse this year has become considering elections. To the best of my knowledge, it is only this year that I have seen not only an African-American but a woman as well in the field of elections. I am extremely pleased with the diversity and strengths brought forth to this election with new ...

There are certain standards for a television news program, and one of those is to provide an unbiased outlet for information pertaining to the world and your local community. I believe that Fox News has crossed that line several times during their coverage of political events. The entire news station is overly Republican and often skews their ...
