I watched the speeches leading up to Palin's speach on Faux News. I didn't make it to Palin's speech because I only made it two thirds the way through Rudy Giuliani's speech before I got sick to my stomach and had to visit the bathroom. My mind kept translating his words into German, and images of Goebbel kept popping into my mind.
The primary concern of the Republicans is "homeland security" and the Republicans have this weird bifurcation where they complain about Democrats wanting a "nanny state" while they want a leader (translation Fuhrer) who will keep them safe and get peace through conquest (victory). Try translating a Republican speech and keep an open book of 1930's German speeches handy while doing so. You'll get sick too -- unless you like 1930's German methods.
But anyway that isn't what I set out to write about. I guess it will have to do for today. I don't have much time.

I hate election time.

I am for gun rights and am pro life. I oppose capital punishment. I like community activism. I oppose tax increases. I like Obama and Palin as people.
In Illinois, we threw out some thieviong down state Republicans who paid the bills and kept things running. We brought in Chicago Democrats who are also thieves, but are totally incompetent at running things. Obama is a Chicago Democrat.

The so-called "thieving democrats" have only been in office a few years. Republicans were in office from 1973. The other thing republicrats tend to do is to pretend to cut taxes by borrowing money, cutting taxes on the already wealthy, so they can do the borrowing. Then when the debt comes do they can step out of office for a while and laugh at the mayhem.
