politics...
I haven't posted in over a month. I'm not gone quite yet, just caught up in things. That said, I want to rant for a moment on politics.
I just finished watching the presidential debate and am finally starting to develop opinions of the candidates. I like John McCain's ideas - especially when it comes to foreign policy. I also like that he tries to play by the rules of the debate when it comes to time limits and answering the questions that are asked. However... McCain is old. He's really stinking old. Watching him hobble [more or less] across the floor was a little sad to me. I fear he won't get to see his plans come to fruition either due to voters choosing the younger ["more flexible" I'll say], more likeable candidate, Barack Obama. Obama has some good ideas, too, such as cheaper healthcare [though I disagree with his believe that healthcare is an American right]. I just think that McCain's are better overall. Still, there's one more debate to go, and I'll be watching it closely.
Oh, I promised a rant, didn't I? Well here it is - Words / phrases I'm absolutely sick of hearing:
- Fundamental Difference
- Green
- Voting Record
- Change
- Nine-eleven
- Fannie-Mae
- HD [not political, but I'm sick of hearing it none-the-less]
- Wall Street
- Main Street
- Maverick
- Earmark [what does that even mean? I may have covered it in Econ class, but I surely don't remember]
- Economic Crisis
