Politics 2008

I was not going to get into politics here but after last night's debacle from the RNC, I feel I need to at least express my feelings before they explode!

Last week, the nation saw a 'peoples convention' It was all up and positive from start to finish. No one was arrested on cam ... No one was slandered. The final night was open to anyone that wanted to get in. We saw a very large cross section of Americans celebrating being true Americans

Last night we saw the opposite. The most negative and down bunch of rich people of one color I have ever seen. Minority's were paraded in to praise their man and escorted out as fast. Last night alone 4 people were arrested on camera for expressing opinions. Apparently that is not legal in a republican controlled world.

I think it was interesting that the " leader" of the party was not mentioned and not in the hall the entire time. He was allowed a taped performance from a prepared speech. His parents and wife were there .. but he never showed his head.

The speeches, last night and the night before, were basically Democrat bashing, the only substance of either speech came from the text of Sen Obama's speech the week before.. only delivered with hatred instead of hope. Their comments tried to blame the Democrats for the economy failing and the money being spent on non essential BS. No blame was put on the current administration for ruining the country and any connections with the rest of the world. If History is correct... the current occupant of 1600 was given a balanced budget and actually a surplus, rather good relations with most countries and declining unemployment... exactly the opposite of conditions today. At times speeches turned into right wing christian prayer meetings, even tho many are not of that faith. The videos, shown during breaks comparing their team with Roosevelt, Lincoln and Reagan, reminded me of 1930's style propaganda from a country in Europe that was about to try to take over the world.

The thought of as many as 8 more years of the last 8 is very scary to me ......
I am not sure this pic is in any way real .. but the concept is.
