Personal Narrative: Obama Vs. Romney
I remember in fourth grade when it was the presidential race of Obama versus Romney. I was rooting for Obama, but I wasn’t that involved as I should have been. My family and I have always been dyed in the wool democrats. I stand with almost every political democratic position. I stayed in this position even in the later election.
2016 was a weird year. The weirdest part about it was the election. No one expected what the outcome would be. This year me and my family followed the election very closely. We watched all the debates and considered every political stance. I supported Bernie Sanders, whilst my parent wanted Clinton, but in the end we all supported Hillary Clinton.
I spent election day in a car driving to get my mom out of a meeting.

    George Romney's collapsed presidential campaign of 1968 was doomed for various reasons, not just his odd "brainwashed" statement. Chris Bachelder, in "Crashing the Party," argues that Romney's campaign had already begun to falter by the time of his gaffe. Bachelder argues that his campaign was "hampered" because Romney failed to endorse Goldwater in the 1964 campaign, he was unwilling to completely align with the Party organization, and his independent style prevented him from being completely accepted (Bachelder 131). Romney refused to endorse Goldwater based on principle, he did not feel comfortable endorsing someone who was heavily influenced by a certain group (in this case Southern whites). While he accepted the RNC's actions at the 1964…

    It occurs every four years, the United States is in an election cycle. During this campaign season, however, has been unlike any election ever taken place in modern history. Beginning with a large pool of candidates, the primary elections, primarily among the Republican party took an extremely negative unexpected turn. Many voters feel that the remaining candidates for both Democratic and Republican party are very disappointing. The two parts appear to be strongly divided and in deep turmoil. Who has inspired me as a voter, and who has put up the best, and most honest fight to be in office is Bernie Sanders…

    In 1944 President Franklin Delano Roosevelt stated, “People who are hungry, people who are out of a job are the stuff dictatorships are made of.” With this being said people have spoken during the 2012 presidential elections, and they have re-elected Barack Obama as President of the United States of America. During President Obama’s first term there were a number of accomplishments that one should make note. Both locally and nationwide, the argument can be made that no president has accomplished more in their first term since Franklin Roosevelt. On the eve of Obama’s inauguration the economy was in shambles. Osama bin-Laden was still a wanted man. The American car industry was about to go bankrupt. The tax code favored the richest Americans. Healthcare costs were rising at astronomical rates. Illegal Immigration had become a central issue. Foreign Oil costs were killing the wallets of Americans at the gas pumps.…

    Mitt Romney is running for President again. Though technically unannounced, the news effectively became public last on the 16th of this month, when Romney just happened to let it slip that he was “seriously considering” another campaign, having said previously that he would make a decision within “weeks, not months.” When a US politician purports to be “considering” a run, it usually means they’ve already started buying up White House-width curtain rails.…

    I do not specifically identify with democrat or republican. I think that both parties have some good things on their agenda and there are also things that I don’t agree with personally, that are on both the democratic and republican agenda. With that being said I would like to consider myself an Independent. I think it’s common for people of my age (19) to not fully commit to one party.…

    I am a New England liberal, born and bred. I have lived most of my life in the Northeast — Boston, New York and Philadelphia — and my politics are devoutly Democratic. In three decades, I have voted for a Republican exactly once, holding my nose, in a mayoral election in which the Democratic candidate seemed mentally unbalanced.…

    The 2016 Presidential Election was easily the most negative Election in recent history. Apart from my policy disagreements with President Elect Trump, I am morally repulsed by his conduct. My Hispanic friends were offended by the insinuation a that Mexican immigrants were criminals and a unwanted burden on the United States. My female friends were terrified by his misogyny and open, joking (at best) attitude towards sexual assault. I was disgusted by his disdain for the environment and the truth.…

    When I was a little older, I became more observant to the issues and concerns of my peers around me. I started to see the equality issues that surrounded my friends everyday. People would make fun of me for the color of my skin, my homosexual friends would get bullied for loving who they did, and my female friends would always be expected to do less and be less than my their male counterparts.…

    As a native of Northwest Ohio, it is not hard to believe that I am a Conservative. I have been instilled the beliefs that our government should be small, and our border security, strong.

    In America there are two major political parties, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party. Democrat Barack Obama defeated Republican John McCain with 365 electoral votes to McCain’s 173. The 2008 elections were the first time an African American was elected president and the voter turnout for the election was the highest in over 40 years. Another reason for this election being seen as an historical event is because it is the first time the Democratic Party has won in three decades ending the Republicans domination of American politics. The elections were also held at a crucial time when the world started to feel the global recession.…

    While I feel strongly about my beliefs, I do try to see the other side of things. Everyone gets so riled up about politics, and in reality that is a good thing. We are fortunate enough to be able to use our voices. I’m all for discussions. I have my own belief, because I grew up a certain way. I love hearing about why others, from different demographics, have…
