The RNC in general

After listening to many speeches during the Republican National Convention I must say that they did a pretty good job of turning me off from the GOP. I must say I am very happy that John McCain won the nomination and because of that I approached this convention as open minded as I could. Unfortunately from the start it has been nothing, but false and empty attacks on the Democrats and little news of what the Republicans would do if they were to govern four more years. The thing is that on Economic issues I often agree with Republicans, but when they describe Barack Obama and the Democratic Party as Socialist, which is what they do without saying the word, then I doubt their judgment and their knowledge since there is a BIG difference, trust me I am from Sweden I know. To me all speeches then feel so empty, but I am not voting and scare tactics might work for them yet again

What turned me off even more was how everyone in the line up on Wednesday and Rudy and Sarah in particularly made fun of Obama’s experience as a community organizer. I am not sure that it is the perfect springboard to the presidency of the U.S., but why look down on something as honorable as community service? Especially a day after the slogan of the convention was Service, as John Stewart pointed out?

Oh well we are now down with this empty party rhetoric (and I mean that about both parties) and we can look forward to the debates where flawed as they are at least Biden can ask Palin “If you are so against the Bridge to nowhere, why did you campaign for it two years ago?”
