Presidential Debates

Well I will want to share with you a mini project that we have completed in my Humanities class. It was focused on the presidential debates. What we had to do is, we were assigned a runner up from the republican side and we were given a topic to research your runner ups view points on the topics. I was Mike Huckabee and my topic was Border Security. I have learned alot from this mini project just because I have never paid attention to any political issues or any presidential debates. This was an issue for me because I felt like I had to learn all these new terms and what they mean but once I got the teachers help to understand it became a breeze. We also had to research the opposing stand points of view on the topic as well to get some sort of leverage on them. What i think I learned the most out of this whole project is that us as kids need to pay more attention to whats going on in these debates because sooner or later we will be able to vote and when the time comes we wont know who is the best candidate to nominate as our president. If you don't know what the president your voting for wants to do to change the nation well you will regret it. My views on this topic as supposed to the candidate I have research go long ways. I want to let some illegal immigrants to have the chance to become legal but they have to do what everybody else is doing they have to get in line and wait. Unlike Mike Huckabee he wants to toughen up the border and finish the fencing. He basically wants illegals to leave this country. Overall I had a great experience with this mock debate and look forward to my later postings.
