Republican National Convention Day One - Sponsored by the AARP?

So I've been watching the R.N.C for the last few hours, and let me tell you.
I now know how it feels when I forced my X girlfriend to watch the Lord Of The Rings trilogy.
Pretty boring stuff right? (Do not be mistaken, I love the L.O.T.R trilogy)
What is the average age of this convention anyways? 65?
As of now, I haven't been impressed by the PLATFORM of this convention. I'm not denouncing John McCain as a candidate because of this, but it has not stirred any sense of excitement or interest in my eyes.

Now Joe Lieberman is up, and he looks like a sheep within a room full of wolves.
Doesn't it boggle your mind when you see present and past Senators like Lieberman and Thompson promising change, when they themselves were elected for that same reason?
Is the President really a king who serves as supreme ruler of the land?
Not in my eyes.

Elected politicians, whether in small or large offices, need to stop addressing their dreams and aspirations through their chosen party candidates and start making change NOW.
Everybody can get excited when the future sounds so optimistic, but in every future promised to us, that optimism vanishes leaving us vulnerable and once again looking for a new hope.
That cycles gotta stop now.

  1. Nice! I like the personal touch. Check out that book I sent you - it's going to be a while before the social networking challenge is ready to go, but when it does, I'm going to open some pretty big streams up - and when that comes around, you're going to need a bigger blog.
