There was so much going on between the diatribe offered by Guilianni and the first national speech offered by their VP candidate. These are both worthy of their own posts.
The point that I want to make today has to do with the attitude of the Republicans. Call it the entitlement of the rich. They can have anything they want- damn the cost to the country of the environment. We heard nothing about how we plan to pay for the war in Iraq or the growing wealth in that country. We heard a crowd chanting "Drill baby Drill" as if such an action will solve all of our problems. No thoughtful response to envronmental concerns or the cost to our future.
Haven't we learned after 7 and a half year that "take it now, pay for it later" is no way to run a government?
The next administration will need to find a way to pay for the past 7.5 years. Do we really want to choose a ticket that wil compund that cost for a future generation?
I believe there are radical elements out there who will just love the sarcasm and cynicism that was offered last night- even outside of the convention hall. But I have to believe also that the voters will reject for what they are -scathing unfair laugh lines from a convention.
When wll the media move away from the discussion about whether or not they are being sexist and ask real questions about her background- including the fact (she is apparently proud of) that her husband is an oil man who works for British Petroleum?
