politics

I have found it fascinating to watch this political season unfold.  Realizing again that the old ways continue and the new ways fall to the way side when power is involved.  There are NO changes that I can see that either party offer ~ it certainly seems that way from the campaign adds, digging up dirt, and unkind words at play.  Instead of seeing this election as a powerful change the media and both campaigns have brought it down to the same old same old......so here we are....
 
We are seeing history play out.  The first African American man to run for president and the first Woman on the Republican ticket to run for VP.  Yet we GO AFTER them too. We aren't divided by race and gender as much as we are divided by politics and the way WE each think it should be.  Instead of embracing each campaign and learning about each platform ~ we quickly divide into two categories. (DEMS and REPUBS).....
 
That fact that we've broken almost 250 years of one demographic running for the presidency and in turn running our country. Both campaigns are playing the same game of politics.....? 
 
As we continue to watch this unfold and history being made with no regard on either ticket for real CHANGE we can only hope that the "best team" wins.  In other words, whatever team wins will either of them really be looking at the country's best interest over there own.  Georgia Dudley, Founder & CEO Empowering Women Network, Inc.
