I'm Thrilled This Isn't My Party

I am a proud Democrat and fully support my party’s candidates for president and vice-president. Because of this fact, I would be very upset if I watched speeches coming from my party that I either knew or found out later contained so much misinformation and/or complete lies about our opponents. In fact, I’d be extremely embarrassed and probably would have to scale back my support and my admiration for candidates that I am so thrilled about.

Maybe this is one of many reasons I’m not a Republican, because I’d be horrified if I had to sit through the drivel that I heard last night. From Mitt Romney to Rudy Giuliani to Mike Huckabee all the way through to Sarah Palin, their speeches were filled with hollow references to patriotism, vague promises to change by keeping the status quo and of course lies about the record and life story of Barack Obama.

That is why I am absolutely delighted these speeches are taped, scrutinized and carefully examined by people who actually use their heads and objectively weigh what’s the truth and what’s possibly less than true.
