Ok, I am not a fan of Palin's politics. I am not always in support of any one's platform. I have always found it interesting that the party of less government wants to intrude in the most private personal issues in our lives... who we marry, whether we give birth or practice contraception, whether we pray in school ect. The difference between the parties and government in our lives comes down to money. Both parties think government needs to tell us what to do and how to spend. It is a matter of who each party is willing to spend the money on.
I am registered independent because I don't have a party ideology. Most people don't. We fluctuate between candidates and issues based on our personal experiences. Does anyone really want to go to war? And frankly, has any modern war been about ideology? No. All wars are about power, money and influence... mostly economic influence. The civil war was not about slaves. That was a side issue that rallied people. The World War II was not about Hitler and genocide. most people didn't know what was going on until he was loosing. And Iraq is not about terrorism. It has and will always be about power in an area which dominates oil. At this point, I think the American people know, we can pull our of Iraq.... and wait until we go to war with Iran... or Korea.... or Russia or God forbid, China.
But will oil, the environment, weak dollar, a sagging economy and job market, what do the news papers and news shows investigate? Sarah Palin's religion...Her daughter's pregnancy.. Her ex brother in law's boss. Good Lord.
At the beginning of this season, everyone thought immigration and the war would be the topics. What is clear is that neither of them will execute an agenda. What they will face has yet to be determined in large part. What we need to know is what guides them? Where do they look for answers? How quickly do they make decisions? Can they stand by a decision? Can they make a hard choice regardless of political consequences. Right now, the tide is turning. What we are seeing is Obama is a political machine. He has shown less heart and less soul monthly. McCain has shown he will make the unpopular decision if it feels right. And he will defend it. Obama is showing his lack of experience. McCain is actually talking about what people are talking about. Obama is still playing defense about his resume.
