Elections Test

Some people ask what you truly need to be elected in today’s society; I think it’s the money, connections and the political parties. The most known parties are democrat and republican. That has the most impact I think because, if you just had a president that was republican some people may want a change so what they would do is vote democrat. That does not always work though. If the candidate’s family is well known like for example will Mr. Smith make it to Washington the Mr. Charnihan had no clue what he was doing and his speeches were pointless. The only reason he made it is because of his family connections. Some other factors are the money. The Political Action Committees (PACs) are people that elect political candidates or they can advance the outcome of legislation or a political issue. They can use hard money or soft money. What that is, is hard money is Government and organizations that give money that is repetitive rather than a one time loan or some kind of government grant. Soft money is given to political candidates and that is not subject to federal regulations. It also on what news channel you watch. Some news channels are media bias. What that means is that any sort of news or information site may have some soft of a bias toward one thing or another and they might make there’s sound better than others when really its not. For example if you put on channel two news and they are more democrat they might be talking about all the good things about democrat and all the bad things about republicans but if you go to channel five news it could be the complete opposite. I think that it is better to have a high voters turn out than low. Voters turn out is when you either have a high amount of people that vote or it could be low vote too. When you have a low voter turn out that could mean disenchantment, indifference or contentment. A high voters turn out would be if we have a great economy and that the citizens are well aware of the candidates and they are talking about them on television and getting people involved. So remember please vote!
