Politics; everyone has an opinion on them. Everyone feels a certain way about a certain candidate, and the debate can get heated fast. Whether it’s Obama’s missing birth certificate, or Romney’s missing tax returns. Everyone can find a reason to hate the candidate.

But the one thing that gets this Journalist the most heated, is the fact no one will shut up about it. I understand we just want our opinion to be the right one, but to shove it down each others throats is a bit uncalled for.

Countless times I have logged into my Facebook and my news feed has been covered in all political posts. Obama’s a liar, Romney hates women.

All things that are both ignorant and just a waste of time. We can sit around and complain about small things, or we can look at the platform the candidate is running on and hope that they will actually follow through.

The petty issues that the American society is worried about, such as birth certificates, gay marriage, and what kind of dog the president has, need to be put in the past. Americans keep complaining about wanting to see change but the country flips out because of how cool the First Lady’s finger nail polish color is.

As long as we as a nation spend more time worrying about clothing rather than the debt crisis, taxes, public education, or the fact we spend more time arguing on Facebook rather than reading about the candidates platforms, we won’t be able to solve the problems the people complain about having.

So from now on, let’s focus on reading about what the candidates say instead of shoving our own personal ideas onto everyone else.

Gay marriage might be really important to a group of people but until we can figure out what’s going on with the money crisis, I think gay marriage takes backseat.

The president cannot read your problems on Facebook.

And honestly no one cares what you believe.
