Why I created this blog...

...because my brother and I trade several emails daily concerning interesting, crazy, sad and otherwise
emotional news. And, we often forward articles to family and friends. So to stop to the continual
forwarding, here's the news and our commentary... let us know what you think too

What are you most concerned about and which political party is most "out of touch"?

While watching the Sunday morning news shows, I saw an interview with Sen. Arlan Specter, (R. Pa.), whom I have respected for a long time as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. What he said is quite revealing of the republican thought process. Here is what he said.

"John McCain is much stronger on foreign affairs than Barack Obama, and I think the American people are much more concerned about what Russia is doing in Georgia than they are about the economy and the issues they talk about around their dining room table". THAT'S WHAT HE SAID AND I LIKE HIM.

Now the only way to sell that idea is if people think that Russia has sailed into the port of Savannah and taken over the eastern USA between Florida and South Carolina! For many people, that's the only Georgia that they know about. I hope the main stream republican constituents are smarter than that.

Some of these republicans are very nice people, but their ideas and policies just don't fit with most people; even the hard core blue collar workers whom the claim to represent.
