here she goes....

I know the answer to this question but I have to ask:

Has anyone been watching the Democratic convention?????

Anyhoo, of course, we have.
First of all, I am not getting on my soapbox to make a political speech or anything, I simply want to say that this next election is critical to the US in that the world is watching and waiting for the outcome and they are poised to react.
Please, please, please understand and embrace the right that we have and do not take it lightly, for other countries, you could die just to try and cast your vote.
It is a priveledge and we should be thankful for those that fought and suffered to give us this very right
Enough about that.
As I was watching the DNC yesterday and listening to various speeches and watching the crowd as they waved their banners and spoke of their loyalty to certain candidates I was struck by the great crevasse which separated the two entities; the delegates vs. their candidate(s).
If you're listening, you'll hear what each side wants and "ne'er the two shall meet".
This election(forget what I said about no speeches) is more about making history than it is about making a change for the better.
Let's face it, the people that want Hilary elected want her because she'll be the first WOMAN president. I mean, they can't want her for her politics because her politics are crazy-along-the-lines-of-communism, PLEASE!!!!!
The people who want Obama elected want him becasue he'll be the first African-American president. Surely they can't want him for HIS politics because...he doesn't have any!!!! He's a first term senator that only shows up to vote half the time and when he does he has shown himself to be the MOST liberal senator on the hill. When he is asked about the hard issues that people care about he starts his dodge and dance routine that leads to him not answering at all!!!!
What do the pundits say about him?
They talk about how pretty he is.
Do you see what I mean???
The candidates are making these not-so-lovely speeches to those who only care about their own agenda and frankly, it doesn't matter to the delegates what comes out of the candidates mouth because their minds are made up, have been made up for a long time.
Seriously, this country has become a country full of stupid sheep who will follow anyone who will "tickle their ears" and who will throw them some "breadcrumbs" that are easy to swallow, in fact, that are too good to be true because they are far too expensive, and who puts those leaders there?????
WE DO!!!!!!!!
What does Dr. Phil say?
"We teach people how to treat us."
And we have taught our leaders to have their own agendas that have nothing to do with helping people or bettering our country and we have taught them that there is no accountablity for their actions, we'll just blame the one before us, and them, after awile we'll just forget and start the process all over again.
That's insanity people!
I would have loved to have been part of the grass roots movement that started with our first government 230 years ago just to see what difference one voice could make.
Now, it seems the crevasse cannot be bridged, that it is too large a task.
What difference can I make??
I'm sure I would've received a sound lashing from one of our founding fathers, perhaps Thomas Jefferson himself, if he'd heard someone say that in his time.
Who would've imagined that 200 or so years later that some poitical junkie would be spouting this stuff from her forum called a blog that hopefully will inform and inspire those who drop by, for that is my intention, simply to inform and shed light on this important issue.
Thanks for listening, my friends,. I know that I am passionate about politics and probably quite alone in that, and that's OK.
I love you anyway.
