I hate to even mention politics on this blog. This country is polarized enough.
For disclosure reasons, I normally vote Republican… but I don’t consider myself one. Spending like drunken sailors, expanding government, and protectionism doesn’t sit well with me. They do piss me off sometimes.
However, I have noticed some remarks made on both sides of the aisle that are borderline ridiculous, especially since Governor Palin became McCain’s Vice Presidential nominee.
First, I think it was ridiculous for the McCain camp to try to openly appeal to Hilary voters. It just made the campaign look stupid. Then, later, the left wing bloggers went into a tizzy after Andrew Sullivan proclaimed Palin had not brought Trig into the world, but it was in fact Bristol’s baby. Within 24 hours there were cries demanding DNA tests done to see the true mother. Obviously, this has proven to be very false and another case of wanting something to be true so badly, it magically is (in their head).
Then today, Gov. Paterson of New York stated the RNC, in the constant use of the words “Community Organizer” at their convention was another way of making saying “Black.” I am sorry, but this is getting ridiculous. The whole campaign sickens me. Injecting racism and sexism is awful no matter what color your skin is or what chromosome you were allotted.
As if it weren’t enough that we had 27 primary debates and are slated for several presidential debates and vice presidential debates. It seems like we are locked into this endless campaign. When one election ends, the next one begins. When do we worry about governing?
