McCain is Insane!

I tried to come up with a flashy title in order to get your attention, something that McCain didn't attempt to do while he was here visiting USC Upstate. That was a little harsh but he isn't the most enthusiastic speaker running for president. The most interesting part was when he introduced his mother, that was 138 years old or something like that. He was very welcomed here in the upstate of South Carolina. Most likely because he has made the state of South Carolina the center of importance in his campaign. Don't get me wrong, if anyone deserves to be president the most it would. He was in a Vietnam Prisoner of War for years, and had the chance to be freed by his father through a negotiation with the authority. He is a leader, and a highly intelligent man that has a resume that explains it all. He is a strong individual and i would give him my consideration. By the way I shook his hand, and two days earlier I shook Rudy Giuliani's and Governor Thompson's hand. But the main message I just want to throw out to everyone is that we need to show interest in politics, because the things you want done, won't be done if you vote someone in office that does not represent the moajority of your morals and beliefs. It doesn't matter if your a right winger, a left winger, or someone that dodges the mud in the middle, your voice and morals are imporant, and thats why our great country chose a democratic government.

Billy Boy is Coming to Town!

Bill Clinton came to our school, to promote his wife Hillary for president. I left my math class early in order to see him. I must admitt, i am not a Slick Willy fan but it was interesting to see a former U.S. President at our school.And no it's not based on his personal life that was overly exploited. It's because he looked his nation in the eye and lied. He was the leader of this great country, and he took advantage of our trust and loyalty that a country should have for its nations leader. Don't get me wrong, he is a great speaker, and has great chirisma. I understand why he has such a large following. Hillary on the other hand doesn't even compare to Bill when it comes public speaking skills. All in all it was a great, experience seeing Bill speak, even though I am an intern at the Rudy campaign and I would have been shot and killed if I would have been spotted. Not literally killed, but you get my drift.
