The DNC

Democratic National Convention.......if you didn't know what it stood for...........you should. Especially if you're a Republican.

So I didn't want to watch it.........but my husband made me...........and the kids.

And I'm glad I did. I realized how easy it is to get hooked into "how" someone is talking and you forget all about "what" they are saying. Eloquent speech gets you places. Obama should know that. In fact I think he's getting close to perfecting it. He speaks extremely well. I even noticed myself nodding my head now and then.

And then I would say STOP!!!! what did he say?? What am I thinking?

Sure getting rid of America's dependence on foreign oil is important...........education is important.........getting the economy back to health is important. But how exactly are you planning to do that Obama???

Social programs, punishing corporations for making too much money and making sure we start indoctrinating children in the crib with Head Start programs.

Not for me! Thank you very much.

I loved seeing my kids start to get it too. "Well he sounds good, like he has good ideas but how does he plan to do........." Good thinking there kid.

When I watch the RNC (come on, you know what that means now don't ya?) next week I'll be listening with equally attentive ears. Just because someone slaps a political party sign on their badge doesn't mean they stand for what I believe in.

So, are you following the election...........the pick for Republican VP.........Obama's speech??? I want to see what you think.........some lively discussion is desperately needed in my neck of the woods so SPEAK UP!
