One comment I will make. I was flipping around the channels whilst watching Dog the Bounty Hunter and I turned on Cspan. I like to watch the conventions on Cspan because they do not have any talking heads telling you what the speaks just said like we are stupid and cannot figure it out for ourselves. Anyway there was a break in action and they were scanning the crowd. Music was playing in the background and people were dancing. Every person they showed was trying to sing but they did not know the words, and I am not sure if the same song was playing in the convention hall that we were listening too but man those people cannot dance! I don’t know I just thought it was funny.

So tonight Sen. McCain makes his speech. I will try and stay awake to hear it. I am also going to try and find a clip of Gov. Palin’s speech, I have seen the text but I would like to hear it in her own words.

Barack Obama has two daughters, George Bush had two daughters and by all accounts they were wild ones, Bill Clinton had a daughter and on and on and on. So why are we asking questions about Sarah Palin’s ability to do the job of VP while raising her family? Why is it that we were all over former Gov. Jane Swift of Massachusetts who gave birth whilst in office and some called her a bad mother for working.

As far as I know all of the people mentioned had a partner of some sort to help them out and as far as I know marriage is a partnership. Now not being married I could be wrong so please tell me. The VP’s only job is to have a pulse and break ties in the Senate unless the President gives her more to do. John Adams wrote that the one mistake they framers made was the position of Vice President.

I think time has come in this country that we begin to treat everyone the same no matter what you do at home. Why is it that we feel that the private lives of people running for office is any of our business. I am concerned about what they say as professionals and not what they do when they get home. We are in a mess in this country and if we start to hold our leaders to a higher standard we are going to be disappointed. We are all broken people and we all have done things in our pasts that we would rather not have dragged out into the open. And as I said yesterday, families are off limits. Ask Gov Palin how she plans to help Sen McCain if elected. Ask Barack Obama how he plans to solve the problems we have. Who gives a rats butt about what weather he does the dishes after supper or how he raises his children. Do you ask your plumber about his marriage or weather his children have children without being married?

If your decision to vote for someone is based on how they raise their children or what their children do I would rather you stay home on election day and leave the election to people who care about important issues.

Children of politicians should be off limits! The antics, not that this is an antic, of our children have no bearing on the kind of job she would do as VP. I will admit she is an amazing woman. Raising five kids, and one with down syndrome, and running the state of Alaska as well. Good for her.

So who cares about the daughter! The left came out right away and started flapping their gums about it and they should be ashamed of themselves. We are talking about a 17 year old girl here that is not a public figure. Back Off!
