Rant invoked post VP debate

Oct 03, 2008 21:53

Most of the VP debate rhetoric last night was predictable: Palin regurgitated memorized lines in between the beginning and end of the debate, and Biden tried hard to not talk down to Palin and show his human side. Just an interesting tidbit of the words that irked me ( Read more... )

I am not better than anyone. I believe nobody is better than anyone, and that it all depends on the decisions we make in life. Simply, I am ranting overall how some can see through the rhetoric and others cannot, as previously stated.

And yes, the 'grow-up' thing is childish, but it was a heat of the moment rant, you were warned. I don't consider you a child and myself an adult (ha--me, an adult?).

Yeah I understand its a rant, which is why I didn't say that it was necessarily you persay ( ... )

I may just be bitter, but I hate people that htink that just because they believe a certain way means they can tell people that vote the other way to "grow up" or something like that.

I am more conservative than liberal, and all I ever hear is how stupid I am for not voting for Obama, or believing certain things.

Not a knock on you persay, I'm just getting tired of the attitude is all.

I agree with what he said. It's more far childish to think you're better than someone and tell them to "grow up" just because you disagree with them on an issue. You're better than that, Keri. Don't let your emotions cloud your judgment.

Also, when someone has strong religious (or anti-religious) convictions, it affects all aspect of one's life, including political positions and decisions. It would be unnatural not to. I distrust anyone who claims that they can leave their religious or athiestic leadings at the door, because they're not being honest. Our believes, religious or otherwise, define who we are and what we do.

Political rhetoric from all sides assumes that the public are stupid sheep. As intelligent people, we need to look beyond that. They're aiming at the lowest common denominator, not us. We can see through it (hopefully).

I agree with this. Does anyone really also think that Obama is going to have any balls to stand up to anyone? He seems like he is too nice of a guy, and doesn't want to get on anyones bad side. I really doubt he is going to be able to do a decent job with anything having to do with foreign policy because he isn't going to be able to take a stand and put his foot down.

He will turn more left once hes elected, and thats one of the things I am afraid of.

And thank you for someone that actually mentioned the Afghanistan thing. As soon as I heard him say "we will pull the troops out of Iraq and put them in Afghanistan where they belong" or something on that line, I was like...seriously? All of this talk about "bringing our boys back" and you want to just deploy them somewhere else?

Give me a break.
