Hey It's A Convention!

Are you watching the Democratic Convention? I'll admit it. I love to watch this stuff. Not that I'm a Democrat or Republican (I vote for the person, not the party.) it's that I find this kind of thing very interesting. It only happens every 4 years and compared to some of the junk on TV, this isn't too bad to watch. You get to listen to the speeches and then the TV commentators tell you what it all means. (you know we can't figure it our for ourselves!)

I know that the convention is a big production. Everything is scripted and preset. Who's going to speak what night and what are they going to say? And most of all, how are they going to say it?

It is all hype, designed to make who ever is the hosting party look like they are for the people, that they have the best plans for us and that if you vote for the other guys, you are making a huge mistake.

I get that.

However, I just think it is important. It is important because no matter who wins, that person is going to face some of the toughest problems an incoming President will have to face. And you may think your vote doesn't count, tell that to Al Gore. Remember the mess in Florida? If anything your vote should be about you saying "Here's how I feel."

Now maybe you feel that you can't select either of the candidates because neither of them doesn't do anything for you. I get that too.

Sometimes that's the way I feel about our choices. But whoever I end up voting for will be the person that I like better. Even if it is just a little better. But I will have my say on election day.

I understand that most candidates promise everything but deliver nothing. And they bash each other during the primaries but after the primaries are over they are the best of friends and practically whispering sweet nothings in each others ears.

But this is the system we have (or stuck with for a lack of a better term). So I choose to join it because this is the true meaning of being an American. Forget about the commercials or the signs or radio ads. What it comes down to is you and your ballot because at that moment, you are in charge.

So I like the conventions. It will help me with my decision. Hopefully, it will help with yours also.

But I have a confession.

I like the debates too.
