Perhaps the biggest mistake of my life was 4 years ago when I voted for Bush. Before I get hated for this, I went to the poll election thinking that it would benefit me as a college student to have a president who didn't support paying high taxes. This, along with a few things that I support(ed).
My dad has also had a strong influence on me. Typical as he's an older white male who is a hardcore Republican. Growing up, I had no choice but to accept the television in my house stationed to political programs for Republicans and stupid radio shows like Rush Limbaugh 24/7.
As a college student, I've learned to have my own opinion on certain issues. I REGRET VOTING FOR BUSH, for I hate that man.
They say your vote counts. But in CA, it's guaranteed that the majority of the state is going to vote for the Democrat nominee anyway. Except when everyone was idiot enough to vote for Arnold as the Governor for CA.
But YOU SHOULD still vote, because the majority of the people who do ACTUALLY get out and vote are the elderly white republicans. THAT'S the reason why they encourage to get the youth, along with minorities to vote!!
