I'm watching the RNC to see what they have to say. I didn't watch the DNC because I was busy sleeping after working 10+ hours at my job and now I'm on vacation so what the hell. So far, the usual general yelling at the TV has ensued. But I can't get past this little tidbit from a 17 y.o. delegate from Iowa. He described Sarah Palin as, and I quote, "...a hardworking housewife..."
... not "Gov. of Alaska" nor even "mayor" or even "political so-and-so" or "experienced", but A HARDWORKING HOUSEWIFE. Because that's what matters. Naturally.
I thought about liveblogging this, but I just can't because I'd be foaming at the mouth for more than 75% of it. And don't be fooled, I'm certain the same would have been true of the DNC. I can't take the fucking pagentry of it all. Let's get down to ISSUES, not demographics.
Also: Republicans know that WE are the best judges of regulating ourselves. Except our wombs. You know.
I'd suggest taking a look only at Obama's acceptance speech, and then only McCain's speech. Just under two hours for each. (ugh) For the most part the RNC chose to personally trash Obama with every other speaker, and the DNC chose to go the "Bush 3rd Term" route, but those two speeches would give most enough info to make a "who do I perceive is more capable" decision. Just a thought :O)
