Well... if I end up voting for Obama after all it will be entirely the result of my impression of the RNC convention. Not only for the mindless babble I hear out of those people (especially their new-found 'feminism') but for the way that the right to peaceful protest is being denied by aggressive 'pre-emptive' (where have I heard that word before?) strikes targeting protesters and media.
Dang it! I want to vote FOR, not against someone but... 'the devil made me do it" might be my rationale. Am still leaning Green but... still undecided (not like those freaks who are undecided between D and R!)(what are they thinking!?!).
I assume all my friends are aware of this stuff but... for a fairly good account of the convention, this weeks Democracy Now episodes are an interesting merge of news and reporters (the host and a couple of her staff reporters have already been arrested).
It boggles the mind that anyone outside a corporate boardroom would dream of voting for McCain hence the reason they are so adamant about co-opting the Democrats at the same time. The "have more's" will never be satisfied I guess.
Anyway, if Obama wins, we will still have a long way to go but not nearly as far as if McC wins.
Arghhhh!
