Since I watch the DNC all last week, I thought it was only fair to watch the RNC this week. Few random comments about what I saw:
- OK, he was a POW years ago, I get it. I respect that, but think it is overkill now. His POW story may show part of his character, but I felt like that was the main theme. That and how we won't be protected if Obama gets into office. POW does not mean you will make a good president.
- If I hear "Maverick" one more time, I'm going to puke. From what I know he voted with Republicans a large percent of the time and his maverick days have far gone. Now, he's claiming he can be the solution and a critic of politics in Washington, when he has played the game forever.
- Did you see how negative every one's speech was, directly at Obama and his ideals. I was amazed how condescending and hateful they were. You can attack political views without being hateful. Also, these ideals are millions of peoples ideals and they laughed at them. Not a way to win people over.
- McCain did OK on his speech. I found it interesting how "nice" he was compared to all the other speeches. Some interesting themes:
- I will fight for you, I will fight corruption, We will fight, fight with me
- Change - Guess this was working to good for Obama
- He did things because it was right, Obama because he wants a career as president
- Vote for Obama and taxes will increase. Hey, McCain how are you gonna pay for everything, including the wars we are in? Let's borrow money from China and make our grandkids worry about it.
- What I did not hear this week
- Real solutions and how to pay for them, Obama made some attempt, but not much either
- Sounds like they do not know who the middle class are
- Social justice
- How we deal with world situations and our current reputation
- Hey where was George and Dick. Funny how they acted like they did not know them
