Some late night RNC coverage

Agree that we Disagree? Huh?




This is going to be a short post, but I had to include this here.I was watching the RNC tonight and heard what President Bush said about Sen. McCain in regards to him disagreeing on topics and issues with him . Bush stated that he knows all about McCain and him disagreeing, how he said it kind of implied that they disagree often. Now, to my understanding, they agree 90% of the time. That wouldn't be a fact I would toss out there if I were bush or McCain, since most of the free world disagrees with President Bush 100% of the time. Am I wrong about this? are the facts spun? Or did Senator McCain beg Bush to say that? I have no clue, but I don't think it sounded right.

On the flip side, I thought the RNC tonight went well. The speeches that were given were sincere for the most part. The only exception was Laura Bush having trouble reading and or remember what the teleprompter said, when she was talking about her Husband. I loved the Reagan and McCain montages. I do respect and admire Sen McCain for his service, and I salute him as a fellow serviceman.


Like i always say, Either of the Candidates would be a good choice, it all depends what side you site on. I just like to write about content that I feel should be covered when I research throughout the day.

Barack truly inspired a veteran


A True Inspiration!


I started off tonight watching the DNC with little enthusiasm about what was going to be said. What i figured would happen is a repeat of the same content already covered by the news and or speaches. Well a little was repeated, but boy was i wrong about the big picture.

Let me start off by saying, that I usually dont get inspired by poeple other than my family and friends. For the most part its from the ones I live around and can speak to face to face. But tonight, listening to Barack speak about America, its people and his views really lit a fire under me. I was truly moved and humbled by what he had to say. I thought to myself about what I myself and americans as a whole are capable of. As of now I have a totally different outlook on what I and we as a whole can accomplish.


You see, i joined the military when i was 19. I wanted to be in a position to make a difference in peoples lives other than my own. I am becoming a police officer for this same reason. My calling is for the service to our great nation and its people. Having said that, I thought that would be enough. I thought serving as a police officer was sufficient. Well after listening to those thoughtful, truly inspiring words from Barack Obama. I told myself that I am not going to stop there.

I don't think it is our careers that define us fully. I think that it is what we do for this country,city,town,neighborhood or any other place and get nothing in return is what defines the soul of this great nation. This is why I am going to get active in my states affairs and issues. I am not sure where i am going to start, but i will find a way.

To sum this all up. Regardless if Barack wins the election. That man is someone we should not model ourselves after fully.Because we all have to be our own, but to instill some of his beliefs and ethics within us.
