Thanks for the invite. I am in a mood to fight

I have been offline for two weeks due to a computer malfunction. What a great welcome back, to find an invitation to a new group.
I listened to much of the Republican convention and have a very sour taste left from the manipulative speeches where they exploited the families of dead veterans by playing dramatic music while detailing their lives. Then all this week I have been treated to 30 second adds claiming that Barack Obama will raise taxes (no mention that this is only on the well to do who have benifited from tax cuts during the last 8 years while the rest of us struggle) approved by John McCain.
Change!! I remember those same adds when Reagon was pushing trickle down theory. Thats where we cut taxes on the rich and watched the money trickle out of the US.
As for Sarah Palin, I believe she is just a figure head. I am offended that the Republican Party thinks women are so stupid they will fall for this . but I am also afraid some women are.
I listened closely to the main speeches and did not hear anything but unsupported rhetoric.

This has probably already been sais but I needed to vent. OOOPS, I have to rush off to work.
Bye

That's true for both tickets. I think we have a tendency to forget that speeches made at conventions are just 'preaching to the choir' and just watching them makes both candidates look like they are wildly popular, and in their respective parties, they are. Eventually all the hoopla will die down and the real issues will be in the forefront.

I agree with your vent kamsgram. I still haven't been able to spit out that sour taste.

As for your post, I couldn't agree more Kams.

Computer malfunctions are really bad. They serve as a constant reminder not to count all of your chickens in one basket.

Now THERE'S a quality mixed metaphor. Can I have the booby prize, Veggie?

Welcome, kams. Yeah, fake drama and manipulation are good descriptions for the dog and pony show. My ears are still ringing from the shrillness of the GOP's new gidget.

Haven't you found those boobies yet, jd?
