I never got to see this video when it was first aired on television, but I’m seeing it now on the Internet! This is the video that has been on the Television news lately. I think it’s a riot, but it does not do anything to lower my opinion of his ability to be in politics! I’ve always liked Al Franken, I think he is a very smart, and very funny man. But it is obvious to me that he is very concerned about the state of world and I think he will do a good job in the Senate. I hope that they certify him soon so he can get in there and start working!
Well I had to vote on my way into work today, stood in line for over an hour to get into vote. Even so, the lines were not as long as I expected so I guess I timed it just about perfectly for having to vote before going into work. I remember having to stand in line this long for the primaries! I’m very interested in the outcome of the race – what a major historical election this is! I sure will be glad when it is all over and we can start to move forward in the right direction!
I was quite disturbed to hear that the Republican National Committee decided to spend $150,000 on new clothes for Sarah Palin! Isn’t she the one who has been campaigning as being the “average hockey mom” type of person? I don’t know any hockey moms that have a $150,000 clothing budget! Doesn’t this elitist purchase undermine the message that she is “one of us?” I don’t know about you, but I spend less than $500 a year on clothes for myself. I got the impression that she was trying to appeal to the people who make an average of $30,000 annual salary (or less.) How is she going to appeal to them if she has spent five times their annual salary on CLOTHES? The RNC is “justifying” it by saying that the clothes will be donated to charity after the election. I’m not quite sure how that is supposed to make the purchase any more palatable to the average hockey mom voter.
We’ve been getting a lot of telephone calls everyday from political pollsters, wanting to know who we are voting for. Although I guess some aren’t really pollsters, they are working for one side or the other and are soliciting donations and asking people to volunteer time to work on the campaign. I do find it amusing that we are getting so many calls! I will be very glad when this election is over and we can have a sense of where the country will be going when all is said and done.
I watched the big debate on television last night, as I’m sure millions of other people did. I was really disappointed in how many times McCain was using untrue statements. I used to think that he would make a good president, but now I think that this country would be in really big trouble if he got into office. We don’t need someone running the country that would be resorting to spreading lies about his competitor during the campaign. We need someone we can trust to be honest with us, and he has proven that he won’t be honest with us. That’s really too bad.
