McCain/Palin speech at RNC

I just YouTubed John McCain's speech at the RNC. The first thing I thought of was that he reminds me so much of President Bush. Not to say that I hate Bush or anything, but I'm not the fondest of him. For the first 15 minutes of McCain's speech he bragged. He bragged about his hot wife. He bragged about how he's tried to change things in the past for our country. Things that I've never heard about, even though I don't pay close attention to him. I don't know. I just had a different vibe then I did from the DNC. This was more uptight, rigid, the people in the crowd were different, and the venue was obviously different. I really didn't like watching the RNC as much as I liked the DNC.
After having McCain's ideas shoved down my throat by my stepdad, I was expecting something a little more impressive from McCain. But I didn't find that at all. He's so old and I don't like how old fashioned he is. I feel like our country will be in the exact same position we are in now if McCain wins the election.
After I watched some of McCain's speech, I went on to google Sarah Palin and watch 2 parts of her speech. She reminds me of my mom. She's the same age, shes a sports mom, she mentions the importance of embracing special needs children, and how her parents were elementary school teachers. I can't imagine having my mom as Vice President of our country, and my mom said the same thing. I don't think it's a horrible thing though that her daughter is pregnant. Everyone makes mistakes, and sometimes those mistakes can turn out to be a blessing. It just happened at the wrong time in her daughter's life. I don't think the press should fault Palin for that or slander her family.
