Be afraid. Be very afraid

Listening to Guiliani talk right now. What I’m taking away from it is that I should be afraid.

Afraid of being taxed. Afraid of Islamic terrorist and another 9/11.

Interesting form of persuasion.

Who are they nominating anyway?

I’ve been trying to stay on top of what’s happening at the Republican Convention this week.  I did not watch much the Dem’s convention and don’t plan on watching much of the Rep’s either.  I do try to read up on what was said though.

I’ll probably watch a little of Palin’s speech tonight, just to see what all they hype is about.  I can’t remember when a Vice Presidential candidate has gotten so much publicity in my life.  Ever since Palin has been announced as McCain’s running mate that’s all you hear about.

It makes we wonder…  Who are they nominating for President?  Who are they asking people to vote for?  Is McCain so uninspiring that it takes a vice presidential candidate like Palin to make the republican ticket appealing – appealing to Republicans even?  Palin sure has rallied the base…as they say.  To me it sounds as if people don’t really care for McCain, but they are just tolerating him because he’s the best the Republicans have to offer.

Way too much hype for me, but I’m curious to see what she has to say tonight.  If you go down the Republican Candidate Checklist she’s got everything…Pro-life, Pro-guns, Evangelical, etc…  I have no personal opinion of her yet, so I find her interesting for now…will she be able to live up to the hype? 

Oh and by the way….   If I hear one more person say about McCain and/or Palin  ”They are a rebel…”  or “They are a Maverick…”  I’m going to kill myself.  Can we not find another word, adjective or metaphor to use.  It’s the same thing over and over.

Wait…  We are talking about the Republican party here.  Excuse me…  I forgot.
