Well, everyone seems to have a Blog these days, so guess I'll just jump in and have one too! I do have a rant & rave page on my website, Martha's Web, but everyone tells me that it isn't the same thing. I just hope no one expects me to post to this baby every day!
Right now it seems like the big thing going on is the Democratic Convention. It all seems like a big waste of money to me, everyone knows that John Kerry and John Edwards will be nominated to run on the Democratic ticket. Guess they enjoy spouting off about what they are going to do when they get elected. Did someone forget to tell them they have to win first? They may well win, but 'It ain't over till it's over'!
The same thing will happen when the Republican Convention gets going.
I wish we had a law that would allow the candidates one month and only one month to campaign before the election. They could have two ads on TV per day, no more. Instead of bad mouthing their opponents, they would have to speak about their own accomplishments, good, bad or indifferent. They would have to tell the public what they propose to do while in office and how they intend to accomplish their proposals. There would be a moderator to make sure the rules were followed. Only money from an election fund could be used and every part would have the same amount of money. Dream on, Martha, it will never happen! Would be nice though!
