So . . . I do wonder. Those of you who have such strong convictions for one of these guys over the other. Can you tell me that you honestly believe with 100% certainty that they are telling it to you straight? Does it not bother you all at when a point is argued on both sides, points are made, then refuted, but we have no supporting facts to back any of it up? It drives me mad.
The hard part is that even if we review voting records for each candidate, we still cannot know the reality. What regular citizen can read through every piece of legislation and truly know what is buried deep in the documents? What working America has that kind of free time, much less stamina?
Maybe I worry too much about this. What i worry about the most is that most people get so caught up in the rhetoric, excitement and learned (hammy down) behaviors that independent thought apparently ceases to exist.
Some of my most brill ant friends are reduced to football game type communication( not bashing football, love it), BUT, it scares me a little when the same mentality is applied to politics. I want to know more people who can see two sides of an argument. Now I guess we wait see what Biden and Palin have to say.

I couldn't agree MORE with every single statement you made, Ash. It's pretty ridiculous. But it's people I love and respect - on either side of the fence - coming down HARD about how THEIR guy was a savior but the OTHER guy...satan. It's pretty silly when you think about it.
I've enjoyed your blog, btw. Keep it up. You're a good writer. xoxo,
