Why I'll Always Be Unaffiliated.

I could never be a republican. I can't tell someone that they can't marry, based on the principle of their sexuality. I work at a care center for the elderly. One of the nurses that works there cared for his partner fighting MS for 15 years. I don't know many straight couples that would go through that hell. So what difference does it make? Truly? At the end of the day, those who are getting married, aren't promiscuous, and even if they are? Why the hell does anyone care? Why is it anyone's business? Love is love. Whether it's a girl loving a boy. A boy loving a boy. A girl loving a girl. Love in it's purest form, is love. And don't tell me that homosexuality goes against what God wants for us. I'm pretty sure I've learned all my life that God's love is unconditional. The purest and sweetest love that anyone can experience. So does that all change with your sexual orientation? It's said that God loves the sinner. The liar. The prostitute. The killer. And yet...and yet...and yet what? If I ever had a child that asked me why those 2 guys were holding hands, I'd just gently explain that they were in love, just like mommy and daddy, and drop it. Because it's not my place to plant lies, and sadness into any child. Ever. The end.

I could never be a democrat. Life, in it's simplest form, is still life. If a fetus has a heartbeat at 4 weeks gestation, then clearly, life doesn't start after birth. Think about it like this. If any given person is in full cardiac arrest, you begin CPR, (unless they have DNR orders....but that's so beside the point), to get their heart starting again. Clinical death is being without breathing or a heartbeat. If a fetus can have a heartbeat, then how are they any less of a person? They're just a tiny person. Also, I hate the example of using abortions in the case of rape and incest. Rape and incest represent less than 2% of all abortions performed. Granted, a pregnancy can happen anytime, and any place, including if a woman gets attacked, it's such a weak argument, that I have to wonder what would happen if abortions were only available to victims....

I could never be a republican because I believe in the general good of humanity. Everyone should be able to obtain medical help, at any time, without falling onto mountains of debt.

I could never be a democrat, because I honor my rights as an american too much. I am neither a socialist, or a capitalist, however, I do want to keep all of the freedoms that essentially have made me american.


Therefore, I am independent. I think for myself. And I'll vote for whoever I think, will help this beautiful country that I live in.
