So as some of you know, I’ve been very interested lately in “current events”. I’ve been watching politics a lot more. I’m very interested in what both sides say. At first, I was intrigued by the idea/possibility of a black or woman president. It’d be an interesting thing to see to break those barriers. Now that it is down to one on the left side, I’ve been listening a lot more. I am not so sure I like what I hear. I’ve never been a Liberal or Democrat, but I do like some of the things they do. On my voters card, I am listed as non-partisan. I am neither Democrat or Republican. But I do lean to one side more than the other. I hear the things that the Democrats are promising, and don’t really like what I am hearing. On the other side, which I am listening to the convention right now, I hear different things. It sounds better to me. When I first heard about McCain, I was intrigued by how he wasn’t all on one side, but a little of both. I am also surprised (but in a good way) that he has chosen a woman to be VP. (Personally, I feel like he went up to Obama and, off-guard, “bitch-slapped” him.) I like the idea of a “marriage” of two people. I’m excited to see what will happen the rest of the year.
Also, since Sheena’s email bounced back on me, she can download here.
I really thought we were going to have our first black pres. But listening to the convention last night I do think Sen. Mac.Cain will be. Can’t wait for November to see.
Yawn.
If only I knew anything about politics
In a nutshell: one side wants to take your money and give it to people who don’t work as hard as you do. They talk of taking money from the “rich”, but don’t mention that if you make more than $22,000.00 a year, they consider you to be rich.
Another way to look at it: one side believes that individuals are stupid, and must be told what to do. The other side believes that individuals are capable of making their own minds.
That all being said, I tend to want my politicians fiscally conservative (don’t spent my money on stupid crap), and more socially liberal (as long as you’re not doing it in front of me, it doesn’t take money from my pocket, and doesn’t hurt me, or other non-consenting parties, go to town).
Maybe Palin will start auctioning those $20,000 toilet seats on eBay.
