Election 2008 - MY Parents Speak!
Posted by ml under Do
I was sitting in the living room the other night, watching the local news with my moms and pops. Featured story was on the Democratic Primary. So of course, I could not resist asking what my parents thought of the nominees. Now, keep in mind, my parents are much, much older than the age of my same-age-peer’s parents. Also as immigrants from a communist state, their understanding of democracy and viewing/understanding of American politics is a unique one. In fact, I will even go on to say that their faith in the system is rather jaded, and fall into the predictable “our vote doesn’t hold weight” box, but I don’t want to get into all of that right now because it is far too complex to type up.
Nevertheless, both my moms and pops were all for… (drum rolllllllllllllll…..)

“It is clear that Senator Clinton wants to continue an increasingly desperate, increasingly negative — and increasingly expensive — campaign to tear us down.
That’s her decision. But it’s not stopping John McCain from going on the offensive.
