The RNC is back on, and (thank God) GW and Laura Bush will be throwing their weight behind McCain tonight on the big stage. In honor of the non-stop-spin that is about to begin, I toss out my random political rants of the day:
- Stop calling it Pro-Life & Pro-Choice when really it is Pro-Choice and Anti-Choice. Even Sarah Palin keeps talking about her choice to carry her newborn son to term despite him having down syndrome, and her daughters choice to carry her unplanned child to term. God bless America for allowing them to make their choices!
- Along those same lines, how is it that one can be "Pro-life" and an avid hunter?
- I really wish that educated young people would stop thinking that saying they are a Republican, like carrying a fake Louis Vuitton bag, will make them look more rich.
- If I hear the response for being undecided or supporting McCain, "I am fiscally conservative but socially liberal" one more time I am going to puke. Fixing our nation, mending the economy and helping the poor requires responsible spending. If you are so fiscally conservative and socially liberal then why are you tolerating the trillions of dollars that we have spent and the thousands of lives that we have lost in the war?!
- The Republicans are right, I am going to fall in love with Sarah Palin's story. Especially the part where her life story continues to be such a distraction to the issues-at-hand that she causes McCain to lose the race.
- Finally, have a little fun this week while watching the convention and count along with me how many times McCain says "my friends." Slate did a great piece on his Mr. Rogers speech tic that you can check out here.
