None of the Above

In light of all the recent headlines in the political realm, I'm reminded of the campaign put on by Montgomery Brewster in Brewster's Millions where he tried to get people to vote for "None of the Above."  Of course in the movie it backfired and people voted for him, but in today's times it seems a pretty tempting choice.  Do we choose the Socialist Democrat, the Lying Democrat, or the Brash Billionaire?  Okay, maybe he's not worth billions, but it's the catchiest thing I could think of at the moment.  I just saw a news story where a couple is about to make a lot of money by printing signs and bumper stickers that predict the end of the world with this election cycle.  I don't think that's the case though.  I, on the other hand, think that America is desperate for change, and all of the candidates at least have a little bit of love for this country and would like to do what they think is best, at least on some level.  And while "None of the Above" sounds catchy and funny, or even writing in Montgomery Brewster, in the end it wouldn't solve anything.  The best thing we can do for our country is to weigh all the pros and cons of each of the candidates, pray for guidance from above, and then vote what our hearts tell us is right.
