Okay, I think everyone knows a little bit of something about the 2008 candidates. What bothers me is that most people are not even paying attention to their arguments and what they stand for, everyone is practically basing their whole decision on gender, race etc. This is really bothering me because race and gender should have nothing to do with the outcome of this presidential race! Why is it that America is so biased on things that have nothing to do with how this country will be run, and if people really think these things, they are seriously senile! This just shows how racist, sexist, and who knows what else the people in our country are.
This really angers me especially since I have no say in the outcome of this election, and believe me I don't. Adults always go around saying "Even though you are young, you can still change someones vote" well they are wrong. Everyone my age who even slightly cares about politics knows that no one is going to listen them. I personally do not even care about politics, and mostly because I have no affect on who other people in America will elect. I don't like being forced to care about politics. I will care when I can vote, when I can have a say in what is going to happen.
Having no say does bug me at times, but I've pretty much gotten over it. Though I don't understand why "free speech" and "all people are equal" doesn't refer to children. Why is that? I mean we are people. Yes, even though adults may not think so, we are. At one time they were children too, and I always wonder. Did they ever wonder why they weren't able to vote?

I agree. As much as it is a great thing that we have minorities running for president, people are paying way to much attention to it. Their views on politics is what really matters
I know what you mean. If we were really over racism and sexism, it wouldn't be a big deal that a black man and a white woman are running for president. People need to look more at the issues and less at the candidates themselves.
