Reflective Essay On Preparing My Vote For Hilary Clinton

Great Essays
The life of a human being is a very complex topic to think about. Someone living across the country could have the same exact views as me, and someone living right next to me could have completely opposite views. This all depends on the person and their life experiences. The cross-section where different views contact one another is in the world of politics. When thinking about how a person came to their decision regarding politics, it can be seen as a giant puzzle, where each puzzle piece is a different part of their life that has gone into questioning and revaluating ones views. Since I am young and ignorant I cannot say that my puzzle has completely been generated. Although I have been in cases where my views were being questioned.

    I am not a political person. I don't enjoy talking politics in the least, and in a normal world, I don't care if one votes Democrat or Republican. I hope that the people I know, are intelligent enough to actually do some research and not one of the mindless drones that vote via party. In a normal world, I would never encourage anyone to vote one way or another. However, if you are a mindless sheep that votes simply because someone tells you that your candidate is of a certain party, and you are discouraged by your party, I would like to encourage you to vote third party instead voting for an asshat such as Donald Trump.…

    The Truth About The Truth About Hillary The book The Truth About Hillary by Edward Klein, seems like a book that would be a great source for political research. At first, it seems to be an exclusive look into the scandalous life of Mrs. Hillary Clinton; however, much controversy has risen over the credentials and solid evidence this book contains. Since the book’s publishing by The Penguin Group Company in 2005, a lot of evidence has surfaced making Klien’s “facts”, questionable. I believe this book is not a reliable source to use when researching Hillary Clinton.…
