Convention Politics and Some – Barack Obama, Joe Biden, John McCain, and Sarah Palin

P.O.W, P.O.W, P.O.W, I respect that, but I’ve heard enough stories about being a P.O.W, give me a powwow about the issues – gas prices, jobs, and the economy in general.

I think this whole Republican National Convention was all about Barack Obama. He must be doing something good, if a whole Republican National Convention was dedicated to talking about this man’s personality, and very little about the issues on the American dinner table. Making numerous false claims that cannot be sufficiently substantiated. It was just a butt load of negative politics; the share lack of inspiration for the people from the Republican National Convention. It was a pretty depressing convention with a bunch of uhhhs, and ahhhs - people cheering. I guess that explains the “slow but steady” economic decrescendo with the last 8 years of Republican rule had to offer. Also, the ever present willingness to pass the bulk on the leadership errors to the majorly Democratic House/Senate gets me. I am appalled.

Republicans, please be original. McCain says, “Change is coming.” Stealing the message of “change” is in no way original. Now, the twist is, is it good change or bad change?

McCain’s speech was filled with what he will do, nothing about how he will do it, or where he will get the funding from. And I hear people cheering? What is this; brainwashing?

Obama didn’t give specifics on everything, but he said he will mop up monies from unnecessary spending, and redirect it to more useful causes like revamping the Health care system.

Recently, McCain and Sarah claim Alaska’s proximity to Russia, gives Sarah a great deal of national security/foreign policy experience. Pause. Think about that statement. Experience by proximity? Be serious, please. I always believed experience comes by actually engaging in the activity.

If the Republicans claim that Obama and Biden, hasn’t lead anything, like a state, etc, then neither has McCain. So, should Sarah be the top of the ticket?
And by the way, who is Sarah Palin? I just recently learnt how to pronounce her name. Well, McCain is used to having pretty faces; maybe that explains the Sarah Palin pick. As one of the interviewers on CNN said and I paraphrase, if McCain dies, God forbid, hope the beauty queen can handle Georgia.

Also, her recent streak of cluelessness has been appalling. Democrats, Independents, and Republicans alike, will agree with me. I know Alaskans are smart, and so is their leader, Sarah. But, the publics’ view is tainted. I hope the VP debates change that view of Sarah.

On a frivolous note, even the chant of “Yes we Can” of the Democratic National Convention is replaced with “USA” in the Republican National Convention…the definition of counterfeit. Are the Republicans indirectly hinting that the Democrats of are once again “unpatriotic”? Also, at the conventions, I saw someone texting during Giuliani’s speech while folks were crying after Obama’s.

These might be false claims. I might just be a democratic fanatic, which I strongly doubt it. You may share your comment(s).
