Amy said what I was going to say.
I have to vote on what my needs and my family needs are. I know who my people are and how I was raised. And so I need to vote and stand with the candidates that have my values and my goals.
Gen. Colin Powell s a person I have always admired. When Pres Bush was pushing for his war and Gen. Powell disagreed, I knew, the war was not something we should start. Gen Powell knows about the military and could care less about the politics.
I knew that Pres. Bush was a frat boy, who had a wealthy dad that bailed him out of a lot of trouble..I have no concept f this type of life. I was taught we take responsibilities for our own behaviors.he had shirked his military duties, he was known for not being a very good student, actually did not do very well, even though he had opportunities that were purchased for him.
He was not a person I could vote for.
Mitt Romney also comes from a family I have no concept of...like Donald Trump, these are not self made business men. Their fathers gave them substantial money and these men made more money. Sure nothing wrong with this, but again, these are not my people. Mitt Romney has some frat boy behaviors in his past. Bullying, using his fathers money and position to get him out of scrapes and poor behaviors.. I just have never associated myself with these type of people anymore, because I realize, they have values that are more self serving..
And so I do not care if a celebrity votes for a candidate, because they are not my people either. I do find it interesting..as to the reasons they vote the way they do, but it is in no way a reason I make my choices...
