I got around to watching that video--and I have
to say those are fairly significant gaffes.
However, if those are all of them, all compressed
into one short clip, then it is a little unfair.
Well, fair is fair--I think I mean to say that
it really isn't as bad as some others we have seen.
You can see how they want to please everybody and
so they slip up like that.
It isn't a bad idea to always 'say what you mean
and mean what you say'. Easier said than done.
I just want to find a candidate that I can listen
to and respect. You shouldn't have to grimace when
your President speaks (or your presidential candidates
for that matter).
I'm going to be tuning into C-Span a lot in about
a year, and the speeches had better be good. And
none of that flip floppy garbage!
Also, I want to say that I think it is lousy that
gay marriage/civil unions is such a hot button
issue. I don't want to hear about that one way or
the other. I care about the US Public Debt and
the budget, Iraq and foreign policy, and the economy
and creating good American jobs, and to some degree
healthcare and education. But the rest (abortion and
gay marriage) well, I don't even want to hear it
debated anymore. Nobody is going to change their
mind, so who cares what everybody else thinks, and
I can really get a good rant going on that so I will
just end it there. |
