My sister said that maybe I should refrain from talking about politics. It gets me too heated. Well I think there's too much on the line to remain passive about it. So I won't be silent. I want to talk about it and I want to tell people who are open-minded what the choices are. Maybe there is no right decision. But it is important to know what a vote for McCain/Palin or a vote for Obama/Biden entails. Look past the media blur or the ad attacks or the hype (which I don't fully understand by the way) about an ex-beauty contest winner being nominated as the VP for the Republican ticket. Rick Davis said this election is going to be about personalities and not the issues. Because apparently the next thing we need is a president who is likable but without substance, right? That's bullshit; excuse my language. But honestly, he said that because he WANTS this election to NOT be about the issues. Because if you look more closely, McCain/Palin's stand on things are outdated. They won't bring change because they can't recognize a problem that needs change even if it bites them in the buttocks. More and more, this duo has become more about Palin than McCain. Ok... let's see what has been said of Palin.
--has initially said that she does not think global warming is due to man and his activities; has of course changed course since being nominated
--is against embryonic cell-stem research
--wants to take polar bear off the endangered species list
--wants to drill, drill, drill
--thinks Russia was "unprovoked" before its incursion into Georgia (even though most US officials think otherwise)
--favors Georgia being accepted into NATO; has said that "perhaps" the US may find herself at war with Russia over Georgia (there is a lobbyist for Georgia in the McCain campaign by the way)
--called for "hands-off approach to Israel if it decided to strike Iranian nuclear facilities."
ok, I'm done... for now.
I'll be writing about Obama on the next post. If you don't want to read it, tough. It's my blog. :)

*thumbs up* I think it's great that you express your thoughts/views and facts on your blog. I like reading them and learn from you as well. I don't like the polls or the media because they somehow twist things around. Keep me informed. Although I consider myself a Republican and I think it's O.K to share our thoughts among each other. You write so well and I applaud you for voicing your political views. I still think that the Sexy Librarian (I mean Palin) is Hott :)
