Joe Biden is right

This is stupid.

A couple weeks ago, the Obama campaign decided to run an ad criticizing how McCain can't use a computer and is thus "out of touch" with society.



Obviously, this ad was meant to prove that McCain doesn't know how to interface with today's society and has no idea how to operate in the technologically advanced modern era. Those concerns, though they have a shaky basis, are legitimate. However, it came out recently that McCain cannot use the computer due to his injuries he sustained as a POW. Ouch. That's gotta hurt Obama. Even more interestingly, Joe Biden had this to say about the ads:



Well I couldn't agree more. Yes, I am a Republican, and yes, I am voting for John McCain, but I'll admit Joe is right on multiple accounts. Yes, it was terrible of Obama not to research into why McCain can't use the computer, but I believe Biden is also correct in saying it wasn't meant to be personal and that McCain's ad on Obama trying to teach sex ed to kindergarteners was also done without much research (it recently came out that the bill was more about teaching kindergarteners about innapropriate touching than legitimate sexual education).

I think both campaigns are running some dumb and uninformed ads that have little substance. This gets worse every year. At this rate, TV ads will soon just be conjecture about one candidate eaiting babies as opposed to the other murdering grandmothers. Barack Obama and John McCain both need to chill for a minute and get some facts before they run their ads. This is getting ridiculous.

My hat's off to you, Senator Biden. I never thought I'd say this, but I agree with you, sir.

Just a thought.

Go news!

A friend of mine directed me to a link that in turn directed me to a very sad story.
(From National Review Online)

"Here’s all you need to know about the state of the elections…

A tally of name appearances at 4:15 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, September 16, on the ABC News website at “The Blotter from Brian Ross and The Investigate Team”

Palin: 24

McCain: 2

Biden: 1

Obama: 0"

This frustrates me for two reasons. One, even though I am a staunch suppporter of McCain and Palin, I will agree that this is unfair and detrimental to the Democrats. Two, many of the mentions of Palin are negative and an attempt to sway people to look at the Republicans in a bad light. This is a detriment to the Republicans. This unfairness in the media's coverage is hurting both sides of the race, and if they were to make it more fair, the election would be greatly helped.

Just my opinion.

McCain Pulls Ahead

McCain has pulled ahead in the polls. I, being a Republican, like that. However, it means something else as well. It means that the conservative movement in America is far from being dead. The media would have you believe that conservatism is wrong, dead, and gone. Though people will debate me on my opinions on the first one, the last two are undeniably incorrect. There are still many conservative-leaning or firm conservatives in the country, something the media would try to discourage you from believing. Generally, this year has seemed to be a tirade of the media trying to convince everyone how rare and out of date conservatives have become, as opposed to the more progressive and thus intrinsically superior liberals. And i haven't liked one bit of it.

But that's just what I think.
