Where’s the Crowd… More Vietnam… And Fear…
I’m sitting here watching the Republican National Convention and I’m wondering how you can compare it to what happened last week for Democrats? I mean, there simply isn’t any comparison.
Here I am once again watching the cameras pan around at members of the crowd, and it’s interesting to note that there are like a tenth of the people that went the Democrat’s Convention. When you see the people waive banners there are like 20 in the whole field, where in the Democratic Convention you could barely see the people in the crowd.
As the camera pans around I also notice one thing, and I don’t want to go racial here, but it’s funny… As far as the eye can see you see the epitome of “conservative” America. A bunch of Senior Citizens and powerful “white” men and women sitting around with tight lips. I don’t see one young person in the crowd, and quite honestly have only seen one African American and he was an interviewer for NBC News.
I don’t get it. It’s not about Obama’s “Star” power or anything like that, but where’s the support of young people for the Republican party? Where are the African American? Where are all those hard working single mom’s with 2+ kids?
Is this what we want for America? Long drawn speeches about McCain’s service in Vietnam and the fear of terrorists coming back to kill more Americans on American soil if Obama wins? Who cares if his arms were broken during Vietnam? Honestly? So what? Does that qualify him to be President? And if it doesn’t then WHY is it something that we kept being shoved in the face with?

I saw a bunch of screaming kids protesting everything they think is wrong in America at the Obama convention. I saw 5 surviving Medal of Honor winners sitting together quietly in the stands at the McCain convention. The kids had their banners and signs damning the war and the current administration to any camera that would give them air time. The 5 surviving Medal of Honor winners sat quietly and let the blue ribbon around their necks speak on their behalf. Draw from that what you will.
