A political minute

OK, so I have no idea who I am voting for in November. I have watched both conventions and still have no idea. I like some of what Obama says and some of what Palin said last night. I really am not too enthused about McCain and Biden. I am tired of business as usual. I am tired of the two party system, with no one trying to make any headway into the real issues of today. I know first hand we are not moving in the right direction on the domestic front. I know that even though unemployment is low, there are not a lot of "good" jobs out there. The middle class base is shrinking. People are hurting. Schools should be teaching not preparing for tests. They should not be using the kids as fund raisers. Spending money on swimming pools, football fields and the like and not having enough money to hire new teachers when class rooms get too big. Houses are being foreclosed, people are filing for bankruptcy, bills are not getting paid. The big ticket items such as abortion and marriage are important but they are not the only issues. Actually, Like Joe Lieberman said, those issues can be put on the backburner when it comes to the real issues of today. Maybe (but unlikely) this year with people like Lieberman and Palin we can get people talking about the real things. The things that heal a nation not divide it.

I guess I wish it was Obama vs Palin. The issues would then rise to the top.
