As the election is approaching, I start noticing the increasing number of campaign commercials shown on TV. However, there is one type of commercial that forces me to switch channel every time I see it: that is the “Vote YES on Prop 8” commercial. To me, it is ridiculously offensive. I am a heterosexual and I also believe that the natural way of procreation is done between a man and woman, but I do believe that homosexual people deserve the same right as everyone else. It is discrimination to deny the fundamental rights of specific group of people, and public promoting discrimination against a specific group of people on TV? I cannot believe that the society today, especially in California, can still allow this to happen.

It is just wrong. It is just like I am witnessing the civil rights movement taught in the history class. People today found it hard to believe that blacks were denied the fundamental rights to live equally; yet, some people, almost half of this society, believe that it is right to discriminate homosexual people. It is just like people believed it is right to denounce interracial marriage, especially between white and non-white, back in 60 years ago. What would people think if someone proposes that we shall call interracial marriage “domestic partnership”? Can he argue that is it not discriminating because they do have the same civil rights and everything? I feel sad that many people still teach their children it is OK to discriminate people in the name in religion and so-called traditional value; I hope them die and burn in hell, though I do not believe in all those things.

I will not even say: please vote No on prop 8, because I believe the proposition itself is a joke.

To choose between Obama's war policy or McCain's, I would choose Obama's. I think the war is hurting America, and we should stop spending that much money in Iraq. That issue is too important that I think I will give Obama my vote. Despite the fact that I do not like McCain's stance on wars and choice of Sarah Palin, I like McCain's personality a lot, not to mention his experience on foreign policy.

I do not think the media is treating John McCain fairly, and it has a lot to do with the current President Bush and Sarah Palin. I do not agree with John McCain on many subjects, but I definitely admire and respect him as a great model. John McCain really grows on me recently, especially when he knows his campaign is losing. I think you can read a lot from a person when he is losing. John McCain continues to fight, with class, which I think is the hardest part. Sarah Palin, on the other hand, loses her coolness sometimes (if she ever had it) when in desperate mode. Yes, they are stumping toward the finish line, but John McCain shows the courage that a true warrior has.

I have not saying that Obama does not have the same quality. If I praise McCain, it doesn't mean I deny Obama; the world is not a true/false question. I do not know because Obama is not losing at this point, so I do not know if he could keep his cool or not. All I want to say is: it doesn't matter what the outcome of this election will be, John McCain, will always be a true respectful political figure in my mind.

You can disagree with his policy, but you cannot deny that he is, indeed, a very genuine and likable man.
