Just letting off steam
I just came to my site after visiting Dans and commenting on the fact that Oprah will not let Sarah Palin come on her show because she doesn't want her show to be used as a political platform. Having never watched more than about 5-10 minutes of her show does not inhibit me from sharing my thoughts on this. As I pointed out on theologians cafe,it is Oprahs show and she can do as she damn well pleases. Someone said that she is being racist,I do not believe that for a second,She pays the help and the utility companies and everything asociated with her show and if she chooses to say that she will not have this candidate or that candidate on until after the election then so be it,it is her right to do so. If a person doesn't like it then there is a nifty device that they can use...A remote control for the television,either change the channel or turn the television off.
God help us if we get another republican in office for the next 4 years,McCain has already stated that he intends to spend $10,000,000,000.00 (ten Billion) a month on an ongoing war which we have no business fighting in the first place. There has NEVER been peace in that part of the world in recorded history and there never will be. If McCain gets in it will be just like Bush never left office save for the fact that the Vice President would look better than our present one. I noticed that although McCain criticized Obama for not having the experience to lead our country he has chosen someone with even LESS experience for his vice presidental running mate. Don't get me wrong,she does talk very well and knows how to work a crowd,but McCain IS 72 with a history of health problems to consider. If he won and a few months or even a year or two after he got in,he has a stroke which incapacitates him,then the country is being run by someone who has NO foreign policy experience. At least with Obama he has picked a seasoned senator for his running mate and if anything happened to Obama I have no doubt that Biden could step up to the plate and do a good job.
I know that for me this is a long blog and not everyone is going to agree with my statements,but that is what is so good about this country,We are allowed to express ourself even if the majority doesn't agree with us.

I agree with you. I really do not want Sarah Palin running this country. McCain is really old...there is a strong possibility that he could die in office and she does not have the skills necessary to run this country. Of course, I do not agree with anything she has to say either.
Amen. I'm not voting based on gender (as McCain seems to think I will), I'm not voting based on race. I am voting based on the platforms of the party and what each candidate stands for. This includes the VPs. If Obama is painted as a "friend of terrorists" because a neighbor was a violent militant (when Obama was 8yrs old), Then it is only fair to bring up Palin being married to a man that wants Alaska to be an independent country!!! Isn't that "sleeping with a traitor"? Which is worse?
