Where Are the Articles About the Republican Convention?

Tweet

Before, during and after the Democratic Convention, there were articles here and at every site like this, YouTube videos, and bloggers everywhere writing all about the hoop-la. Where are the articles about the Republican Convention? Where are the YouTube videos? I just did a search at YouTube and found nothing at all. I find that rather strange. At another site that I frequent, the only videos having anything at all to do with the convention are actually about the protestors. I watched last night, switching between Fox News, MSNBC and CNN. I was pleased with the professional look of the convention. I giggled every time one of the news media dudes/dudettes tried to make negative remarks about Governor Palin, and were met by positive responses. I learned a bit last night... ...about the ways and times that Senator McCain had gone against the party and stood up for Americans, no matter which party they represent or choose. ...about the extent of Senator McCain's injuries when he became a POW. Oh sure, I knew that he'd been held captive for all those years, and that he refused to be released before guys who had been there longer. What I didn't know was about all the broken bones he had and that they were not treated. I didn't know that he cannot raise his arms/hands in the air like the rest of us. That explains his stance on stage sometimes. I've always wondered about that. ..,that his mother is 96 years old. She, like Senator McCain, does not look her age. By looking at her, I would think she was more like 75-80, and McCain himself more like 60-65. (My hubby just turned 60, and John McCain doesn't look much older than him.) ...that we have many Republican governors. I didn't realize how many Governors are Republican. ...that one of the choices for VP would have been Jeb Bush...if his name had been Smith or Jones and not Bush. (How unfair that is. If the man was a good choice, one would think the American public could separate him from his father and brother. But I guess that's asking too much.) Laura Bush did a great job talking about her husband, President Bush, and a wonderful job pointing out the positives of his terms in office. President Bush pointed out that Senator McCain had no problems making his disagreement with the President known. I enjoyed listening to Fred Thompson talk, He was one of my favorites in the early race. About Governor Palin, Thompson said: [i]"She is from a small town, with small town values, but that's not good enough for those folks who are attacking her and her family." "Some Washington pundits and media big shots are in a frenzy over the selection of a woman who has actually governed rather than just talked a good game on the Sunday talk shows and hit the Washington cocktail circuit." "Well, give me a tough Alaskan governor who has taken on the political establishment in the largest state in the Union - and won - over the Beltway business-as-usual crowd any day of the week." "The selection of Governor Palin has the other side and their friends in the media in a state of panic. She is a courageous, successful, reformer, who is not afraid to take on the establishment." "She has run a municipality and she has run a state. And I can say without fear of contradiction that she is the only nominee in the history of either party who knows how to properly field dress a moose ... with the possible exception of Teddy Roosevelt."[/i] From Telegraph.co.uk, oddly enough. :-) Thompson chided Obama for giving "a teleprompter speech designed to appeal to American critics abroad" (a reference to his speech before 200,000 Germans in Berlin). Fred Thompson told us that unlike Obama's slogans of "hope" and "change", McCain displayed "character you can believe in." And he reminded us that McCain's experience in Vietnam as a POW meant that he knows all about hope. Joe Lieberman also affirmed Thompson's claims that McCain often went against his party to stick up for the American public, no matter which side of the fence they were on. At the end of his speech, Lieberman appealed to everyone - Republican, Democrat, and Independent, to forget party and vote for the man who puts country first - John McCain. I'll be watching again this evening, as Governor Palin speaks. I've been reading all about her for over two months now, ever since I heard someone on Fox News comment that she was in the running and would be an excellent choice. With everythig I've heard and read so far, I have to agree with that. So, let's talk. Did you watch the Republican Convention? Why or why not? Did you learn anything? Will you be watching tonight when Governor Palin speaks? Why or why not? Come on! Inquiring minds (well one mind - mine!) want to know.
