Campaign Trail Stops @ Middle School

The following was part of a discussion among mid-schoolers.  The setting was a weekend class about healthy eating, and fun in the kitchen......during some idol wait time the teacher asks, "What do you think about the presidential election?"

The children all had many same comments overheard by their parents, except one teen girl responded with a more unique comment.  "We're really voting for a Vice President, because either candidate might suddenly die........"

You Don't Have to Be JEWISH TO -- SCHLEP OUT THE VOTE

From the ridiculous to the sublime.

Here's a video link reminding all of us white people that some of us grew up in an era where segregation stood for something. That although many of us are well educated, that we are religious by nature, and believe in God -- we were raised and have behaved for most of our lives as "Segregationist"...........

You don't have to be Jewish to watch the following video by Sarah Silverman. Talk to your parents, your elders, and if they vote for McCain so be it -- but don't let it be for the "Same Old" reasons.

Jews are only 2% of the electorate however their vote is key in 9 states that are up for grabs -- including the infamous FLORIDA. Seniors of all races and religions tend to vote in higher numbers as a group than most others and so this vote is important.

Enjoy the video, and be aware Sarah Silverman's Sadie did not approve of this video she uses foul language -- in a comical way -- however be forewarned.

My Presidential Debate

Let the debate begin.................
1. Read the post including the articles
2. Write your comment
Whenever I find someone to be over-extended in righteousness I always wonder if the person is hiding something. In my experience I have found this to be true a fair amount of time. So when I came across the following articles I felt it was worth passing on and at least something to talk about.

I Won't Vote for John McCain for President by Phillip Butler, PHD, former POW at same camp as John McCain

If you were willing to believe 4 years ago that John Kerry was not the War Hero, he was thought to be, then consider this..........it's okay to ask questions, to be informed, and debate among your friends and relatives -- and not these "Made for Primetime Events" we're all being treated to -- with scoring like it's a sporting event.

So, did you read the articles -- What do you think about that? Okay, want to debate -- get writing.
