I hate it when politicians trash each other to get votes.
Why did Sarah Palin have to trash Barack Obama's experience as a community organizer?
Trying to help black people in inner city Chicago is a perfectly honest and decent thing to do.
I wouldn't trash her experience as mayor of a small town.
I might make fun of it.
She had some big decisions to make, I'll bet:
What days to pick up the trash.
How to get rid of families of raccoons.
You know, world-shaking decisions.

If elected, Palin will have to make much bigger decisions:
1. How to keep women from exercising their freedom to choose what they can do with their bodies,
2. How to make sure gay people do not get married, and
3. How to make sure the "no contraceptives will be given out in schools that receive funding under No Child Left Behind" clause is enforced.
Biggies.
YAY BLOG!!

Good comment. Thanks.

Yes to what Joy said about Palin! Palin seems like a savvy woman who has allot to learn. Her speech was delivered with style. She seems to have a talent for sensing the essential elements of an issue or topic without being particularly well versed in all the details. In smaller government, this might work. However, it could be a dangerous talent as president, as she could get way over her head very fast.
On the Media....
I wish we could stop with all the polarizing political comments in the news media that are adolescent, half clever or short sighted!
I love watching Jon Stewart on comedy central make fun of dumb things news people say. I love watching news on PBS.
I am disturbed that people like Bill O'Reilly and many others make money furthering the "perceived" political divide.
Yes, we are polarized in certain areas, no doubt. But it is how we work together on the issues that matter such as education, health care and the economy that will determine the course of our future.
How embarassing for Rudy Giuliani when, showing his rather unsightly true colors, he scoffed at "community organizing" at the RNC! What keeps me sane these days is The Colbert Report -- humor that tends to put it all in perspective. . .
Yes Laurel, I enjoy both Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert, they make me laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.
And I agree.... Giuliani seemed rather awful when giving his spin on being a "community organizer" at the RNC.
