Political Venting

[DeWayneTN]

If you are like, more than anything you'd like to wake up and it be post-election. But it's not and we have to live in the political frenzy right now. With that in mind, I wrote a blog called "Whose Report." Here's some of it:

In the midst of all the deep issues of the campaign, ones that reflect both positively and negatively on either candidate, the topic for at least ten minutes this morning on Today was Sarah Palin's wardrobe. Still? Seriously? Sure, we all made jokes about John Edwards' $300 haircuts but if that's what it boiled down to making him unelectable (and it's pretty clear he had other big issues), then it would be a sad state of affairs (ha - I made a pun). More people are tuning out of mainstream media and yet they still can't take the hint.

I was recently talking with a group of students and their teachers at a training camp. We had Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. We had people of several different races there. Everyone was talking about their opinion and all but two were being respectful. Within a few minutes, the calm relaxed fun atmosphere was turning very tense and people taking sides.

I then mentioned to a couple of teachers that I missed when I was a kid.

I was taught by my parents to above all else....be respectful. There were three things not to discuss unless invited to discuss:
1. Money. Never ask how much someone or their family makes. Don't talk about how much our family makes (brag or complain).
2. Religion. You will never win them over by beating them over the head with your beliefs. Love them and live it out in front of them.
3. Politics. Don't bring up who your for or who you are against unless asked your opinion. Then be respectful with it.

Of course, if we lived by those principals today, there wouldn't hardly be a Jude 2.

Good Word for Today.

Okay, more political venting this morning. Maybe I should quit watching the news. Elizabeth Vargas interviewed Sarah Palin on Good Morning America and here are the gist of her questions:

-Does it bother you that 60% of women polled say they have an unfavorable opinion of you?
-Does it bother you that big Republicans have come and said you're not ready to lead?
-Who's with your motherless children when you can't be?
-People are saying you're eyeing a 2012 presidential run (since this campaign is going downhill) - is that right?

Whereas some are saying Barbara West's interview of Biden was journalism at its worst, they are no doubt already drawing up awards for Vargas' "bravery" this morning. Is it brave to go with the flow?

Especially when they have BIDEN a HIDEN!

I do dislike these questions.. but Governor Palin needs to redirect each question into what she wants to say. She knew it was going to be an uphill battle just by doing the interview and she needs to note the questions as overboard just as Biden relates... but do it in her winking "Gotcha" fashion.

Let her loose. Highlight more and more of these to all whom will listen.
I'm praying for them round the clock now!
