In any political candidate debate, they look professional, they don't directly answer any of the questions and turn each questions around to attack their opponents. This is a typical way they deal with anything. A lot of voters today feel like the politicians running for office have a lot of empty promises and are only saying what they think voters want to hear.
People seem to have lost faith in their government and don’t believe a word of what they have to say, especially when it comes to voting time. Are they saying it only to get votes or are they saying it to actually change the economy and help America?
Many people, especially voters between the ages of 20 and 40, have the same opinion as Brian Lytle. That all they want is your vote and your money.
“Honestly all they are telling us are all lies just to get reelected,” said Lytle. “They don't care as long as they get their money.”

What are today’s politicians promising voters and America?
There is just one Democrat candidate running for president that is always in the news, President Barack Obama. Obama is promising to create more jobs and that he is going to help the economy turn around.
The Republican candidates running for president are Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum. Romney has promised that if elected, he will get the government out of business, proposes lowering personal, investment and corporate taxes, to offset the revenue loss. He also wants to reduce non-defense government spending by cutting regulations and government departments, and is in favor of returning some of the federal power to the state level. Santorum is promising to cut the budget deficit, balance the federal budget in five years, and to not cut the defense budget. He also plans to help the economy, global warming, energy independence, the steel industry, and other manufacturing.
Out of everything that they have said, do you actually believe what is coming out of their mouths? I know I don't. I am tired of being lied to, but it is not like it will change anytime soon, so when it comes to election time I will choose the lesser of evils. It is either that or write in Roseanne Barr, as she is also running, but in the Green Party.
Let’s start with Obama. His approval rating is currently at a 65%. 25% of voters think he is doing a great job as president and 40% disapprove. The other 35% had no opinion. Many people believe that Obama is spending too much money on his campaign and not spending enough time as being America’s president. I agree.

I think it is better to fix the problems that we have now, rather than make speech after speech of what you’re supposedly going to do once in office.
Obama has stated that he will create more jobs and to help the economy turn around. Didn’t he promise all of that in the last election?
Mitt Romney is in second place for the presidential polls. He has good speeches and tells voters what they want to hear, just like every politician, only better. Romney has made promises that he will turn the economy around and that students graduating from college will be guaranteed a job. Romney has recently been in the news talking about how he compares Obama’s promises to a Kardashian marriage, that it’s all-false and won’t have a good ending.
“You know, I’ve been looking at some video clips on YouTube, of President Obama, then candidate Obama, going through Iowa making promises,” said Romney. “The gap between his promises and his performance is the largest I’ve seen since, well, the Kardashian wedding and the promise of ‘till death do us part.’ ”
Then there is Santorum. Santorum is in the lead in the polls, taking Romney’s stance, and is just bad-mouthing every candidate, especially Obama. Santorum has made promises such as lowering the price of gas, create more jobs, repeal ObamaCare, ban gay marriage and abortion, and send more troops overseas. Lately Santorum is trying to appeal to the Independent Party, as well as the Republican Party.
Lastly, there is Roseanne Barr with the Green Party.
Barr has made it quite clear that she doesn’t think that any of these two parties are living up to their promises and has taken it upon her, to run for president.
“The Democrats and Republicans have proven that they are servants - bought and paid for by the 1 per cent - who are not doing what's in the best interest of the American people,” Barr said. “Vote for me, I’ll fix this shit!”
If Barr becomes the official candidate for the Green Party, she will campaign to make war illegal, legalize marijuana, change the demographics of government, and outlaw bullshit. The Green Party’s presidential nominee will be selected at a convention in Baltimore in July.
It is still too soon to determine who to vote for, if any of them, really. No one will truly know if what they are saying is true, unless they get elected. So I encourage all of you to think before voting. Don’t vote for someone just because they’re in the lead or because they seem the most popular. Vote for someone who appeals to you and to you can relate more to. If that is no one that is ahead, remember there is always a write-in. Candidates can still win by a write in. Just remember to do your research before voting, you don’t want to make the wrong decision.
