Sorry it's been a while. Been busy. Jon's family was up for a week, then I almost worked a lot, but got out of it. rested on my day off. . . my mom, bro and sibs came to town. . . rested on my day off and been working ever since. last night we went to a game night and one of the guys came a few hours late because he had to work, but the minute he walks in the door he starts raving about how wonderful Bush's speech was and how it was all layed out with a plan and Kerry just said. . . these are my goals but made no effort to explain how he would attain them . . . and then a number of the guests (mind you - they are all white males in the military) started saying how much better Bush compared to Kerry. I sat there and cringed. I did not hear either speech, but I can guarentee you neither wrote their own. Nor are they actually going to attain even half of their goals in the next term . . no matter who gets elected. They NEVER do. Every candidate tells the public what they want to hear with regard to their own personal beliefs. And it's all written up nice and neat by someone whose expertise is giving the public what they want to hear. Wait - I'm getting sidetracked in my rant. So, Jon starts in (pro-Kerry) and EVERYONE jumps on him about it. So I told everyone, "This is NOT how I want to spend my evening." I got asked, "Isn't this important to talk about. . .?" To which I said, "nope." Everyone here has obviously made up their minds who they are voting for. And none of us have the research or education into either candidate to convince the other side that they are ignorant fools. Therefore, all were going to do is get everyone riled up. I would rather have fun." And everyone shut up about it and it was cool because I was right. I don't have the resources to convince anyone who is planning to vote for Bush to vote for Kerry. And no one can convince me that Bush is anything but a spoiled little brat who is playing the fool in a wonderful show of puppetry. Every truth about him is shaded and I do not TRUST the man. I don't think he would give a damn about me. Everything wrong with the modern Republican Party, I see in Bush. Kerry, on the other hand, I relate too. And no one can change that. I can't wait for the debates because that is the only chance you have to see the truth come out. Emotion and tongue tideness, nervousness, on the spot answers (although many are pre screened and written for them, they can't just read off a monitor). Let's see Bush dodge the questions, give hazy answers that no one is quite sure what his response was and lie to me again. Ok - this rant went on much longer than I had planned. But man does it bother me when these service guys vote for Bush because they give them raises and don't see him chopping away at family benefits and long term support for each member. Now I must take my nap. Sorry I didn't get around to catching up on journals. Read a couple but not as many as I should. Started falling asleep reading - not that your posts are boring - but the sole movement of my eyes across the screen is not enough to keep me conscious. until later Post a comment in response: |
