It was kind of exhausting waiting in line for an hour, but definitely worth it. :)Tirzahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328092089313381195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7609965.post-65926418725947019922008-10-20T22:55:00.000-05:002008-10-20T22:55:00.000-05:00Cool, thanks. :) Our country was founded on freedo...Cool, thanks. :) Our country was founded on freedoms that SO MANY of us take for granted, especially the right to vote. And the media distorts so many facts because they report the news with their biased viewpoints instead of objectivity that is supposed to be the backbone of journalism. (I used to work at a newspaper. To hear my former coworkers talk, you would have thought that a cigar-toting guy named Kinky Friedman was sure to win the race for Texas governor, because the reporters and editors liked him so much. (But Rick Perry was reelected instead. :))<BR/><BR/>Yeah, political parties in the U.S. can get confusing because they've shifted with history. (Republicans and Democrats used to stand for completely different things, say in the 1800s.) Plus, many candidates nowadays try to shift somewhere toward the middle because supposedly many voters are moderate in their views... but, unfortunately, I think voters are just apathetic and need to get their butts to the polls! :)Tirzahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13328092089313381195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7609965.post-81241405047471228282008-10-20T17:14:00.001-05:002008-10-20T17:14:00.001-05:00sorry that was me.I didn't mean to be anonymous.sorry that was me.I didn't mean to be anonymous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7609965.post-75880247941479437872008-10-20T17:14:00.000-05:002008-10-20T17:14:00.000-05:00As a Brit I just wanted to say I agree.
