poli-tricks.

I PROMISED MYSELF I WASN'T GOING TO TALK ABOUT THIS.


but SERIOUSLY?!
now, before someone talks out the side of their neck and calls me biased, i'll be nice and save the foot from your mouth.

i'm an independent, and not terribly enthusiastic about anyone running this year.
however, you quickly lose my respect if all you do in your acceptance speech is deliver sarcastic one-liners. in fact, all it does is convince me that you're incompetent and are using your (frankly, irrelevant) skill of comedic timing to cover up the fact that you had NOTHING significant to say about your readiness to be the future president's second hand. and no, selling the governor's plane on e-bay does not merit an addition to your VP list of qualifications. in case your PR kids didn't thoroughly prep you, belittling the opponents (EARLY) history of community organization is antithetical to your desire to relate to the average person trying to make a difference. you forget, Martin Luther King and Susan B. Anthony were community organizers. the Civil Rights Movement was BUILT and maintained by community organizers. it's also misleading to imply that this is the entirety of Obama's history, but i guess she doesn't have to worry about that, since people don't do their own research.

it's necessary for our candidates to facilitate a coherent and meaningful debate, based not only on experience, but their intention for forward movement and reasonable and realistic plans for implementation of said movement. the more people get caught up in rhetoric and fancy-sounding jargon, the less that's going to get done.

STEP IT UP.
