Election '08

I'm following the election, but not really...it's too nerve-wracking. I'm a liberal really, a FREE spirit, but I'm voting for OBAMA all the way. Honestly I'm nervous, is it going to happen? Is this the year we really make history? I don't even want to put the negativity out there, but God help me I'm so nervous. I don't even want to speak on it. As the time grows nearer, perhaps I'll reach out to it more. Right now, I just want to sit back, imagine and enjoy the beauty of it all. The Hope that change gon' come.
Peace
OK, I'm just going to say this and that's it - someone said the Republican Convention looked like a KKK rally. I laughed, but when I turned to CBS...hmmm. There were bowling pins everywhere (red necks). OK that was mean - I shall not judge a man/woman for their outward appearance. By the way, I was mad when my husband mentioned how it looked like they were partying at the Democratic convention, and how republicans were going to say, "see what's gonna happen when we let him up in there?", but then my face turned red when I saw a man literally jamming to the music afterwards. Somebody told him to put his hands in the air and wave 'em like he just don't care. Who does the cameraman work for? Get that camera off him!!
However - it must have been the same cameraman who filmed at least 3 people being escorted off the premises at the Republican convention for protesting - HAH!
As a mother and a woman - I find it difficult to understand why any woman, much less Palin would be on that side?
Is it me or is it extremely hypocritical for the conservative party to spout such liberal views on Palin's pending grandmother-hood? Her daughter is 17 and they all seem to think, "well she's a mom and she's going through struggles that all American mothers go through. She's real! God bless America!" Are they serious? And then on the other extreme, there's a candidate who's got so much that he doesn't know how many homes he owns?! Is he keeping it real? Does he believe he understands what the typical American family is going through right now? The newspaper shows him looking at the flat screen in his kitchen while standing in front of a few bottles of water on his kitchen sink that the maid probably sat there for him. I'm disgusted.
OK, now I've too much, for now.
