Politics, Yuck
Oct. 3rd, 2008 12:29 pmOkay, I am not the most political person in the world. I research issues and I vote. Mostly because I believe that if you don't, you shouldn't bitch. I watched the last hour or so of the debate last night and if there was any doubt about how I will vote in the presidential election Palin put those doubts to rest. She's a hick! She said the same things over and over again and I never did figure out what she was talking about. And she said nucular. I cannot take another four or eight years of nucular. (The word is nuclear, Republicans!!)
She spoke about No Child Left Behind and my partner and I cringed. Yeah, no child left behind, all teachers left behind. I work with children who have been placed or are going to be placed in special needs classes. Why? Because their teachers can't handle their behavior. None of these children need to be in special ed. No Child Left Behind didn't work folks and throwing more money at it won't help. As a country we need to place the same importance on education that we do on our military. Hmmm, there's a concept.
I was very impressed with Biden. He's well spoken and seemed to have a good handle on how Obama and he will work together as president and vice president. I really liked that. He didn't keep repeating the same things over and over. I was also impressed with how he put Palin in her place about the single parent thing.
Well, we'll see what happens in November. I swear if McCain wins, I'm going to look for another country to live in. Sorry folks, I thought the man was an idiot in Arizona and I still think he's an idiot.
Peace
