I try to take my political pleasure wherever I can find it!
Being rendered pretty much mute in recent days because of the over zealousness of our present day media “geniuses”, I am thrilled to see for once that many were themselves rendered pretty much speechless after the speech last evening at the RNC.
I have always been a Democrat and in recent years tried desperately to set an example by following as much discourse as I could from both sides of the aisle. I try to read as much as I can so that I feel truly informed. I also try to watch as many round table type discussions on the various networks and cable stations so I can see the entire political picture from all directions.
I have panicked in recent months as I felt the entire system was spiraling out of control. Too many members of the media were starting to spew out personal interpretations and were lining up and taking sides. No matter when I would pop on the news programs, there they would sit, out shouting each other with their opinions and looking like children on a
playground arguing over a dodgeball game. These are not journalists….these are self serving pundits looking for their own show. I have been devastated in recent months by this continual 24/7 assault on our intelligence.
Last night, I listened to a new candidate. This was no common, everyday member of the elite Washington establishment. She also wasn’t actually someone I would vote for come November. BUT….she was new…she was fresh and she put it all out there. It was simply….Here’s Me….Here’s My Family….Here are my Challenges.
I was fascinated by her candor….her honesty…..her rather simple appearance…..and I thought to myself…. Welcome Sarah. Let’s see you change it up a bit in the next two months. Let’s see you meet the issues head on. Let’s see you add some new and unpredictable energy into what has been possibly one of the worst election seasons that I can remember. I still probably won’t agree with much that you say but I sure am happy to see a new face. I was even happier to see the usual pundits rendered pretty much speechless last night as they sat back and looked like they had been smacked upside the head.
Nice job girlfriend.
