Tidbits for a lazy Sunday morning
I'm now reading about five major newspapers on line each day to get the best all around view of the news that I can. That doesn't mean that I am any less biased in my views, just better informed, I hope. As you know the GOP will be kicking off their convention tomorrow in New York. That should be interesting. I think I will have the TV on most of the day and I will be scanning the internet for live webcasts etc.
Don't get me wrong, I am not a supporter of our President by any means. I have never been caught up in the mob mentality which has prevailed in this nation since 9/11 and beyond. If anything I cringed at the rhetoric being espoused by those in the whitehouse and the military. They want to keep their jobs, people, that's why they are doing it. Personally I think that there are many who don't necessarily agree with the Prez but are afraid to speak up for fear of retribution. Sorry to say Bush hits me as the kind of person you don't want to rub the wrong way. He is not the kind of person you want to cross and that is NOT the kind of person I want in office. Vindictive and mean spirited.
Many people say Kerry is indecisive and flip flops on the issues. I have a different view. I believe Kerry is a thinking person who carefully analyzes each situation and then decides where he will stand on the issue. Sometimes he realizes that he is caught up in the moment and makes choices that are not in the best interest of the people he represents. It seems to me that he is saying that on further examination that wasn't such a good idea after all. I have a right to change my mind and vote against it now. I respect a person like that. A person who will admit he make a mistake. Now I ask you, can you say the same of Bush? I haven't seen him admit to making a mistake yet and if he has he has only done it grudgingly if at all.
q that's my little rant for the morning. Now I'm off to church and then work keeping the bad guys at bay. You have a nice day yuh hear?
