"What's Love Got to Do With It?"

The past two months have been filled with political campaigns for the upcoming Presidential election in 2012. The debates have been heated and filled with new ideas from all opponents, but are we as voters listening to them carefully on what they plan to do? In this article from Big Jolly Politics written by Ed Hubbard titled "What's Love Got to Do With It?", Hubbard discusses how compassion has vanished from our society today. He states that in public policy today many conservative politicians will not bring up the subject because they believe that is something we should live through our private life. But as citizens we know that our private lives do not always uphold the standard it should.

In this article the author, Ed Hubbard, does an excellent job getting readers attention. He has examples of what compassion looks like through and even references a biblical story, "The Good Samaritan". He does this to give an example of how compassion should be shown through others and through politics. I believe that the author is trying to attract the attention of people who are planning on voting in the upcoming election, and even elections to come. Hubbard also embedded another article that gives facts and statistics to support his argument. I believe that Hubbard has a strong opinion and supports and backs his argument in a powerful way. As a reader I was attracted and persuaded to the authors opinion and I believe that is how an article should be.
