The facts don’t lie. Barack Obama is not that different then his predecessor when it comes to some policies. He wants you to think that Bush is the "bad guy" while at the same time he's doing the same things Bush did behind your back. The truth is, politicians are all the same in that they often make empty promises to you in order to get elected. Politicians from both sides of the isle will tell you whatever it takes to get your vote and this is why it's important that we vote for candidates based on their past policies, not on their political parties. We must send a clear message to every corrupt, dishonest politician in Washington that they need to change their behavior and become more honest otherwise they will lose our vote and thus their power. If you are one of those people who have participated in partisan politics before in the past make a pledge to yourself that you will no longer vote for people based on party lines. The future of our constitution and our country lies in your hands.
