<p>I find that you often don’t really need to make sense when arguing with people who don’t know anything about politics. They wouldn’t know if you knew what you were talking about either way. Just say “financial crisis” and “foreign policy” and they’ll be amazed at how much you know. Seriously.</p>
<p>Although I support Obama, I hate people who support him without understanding anything about his policy. “I want Obama to win.” “Why?” “Well, he’s going to change everything.” “How?” “Well he’s open-minded.” “In what ways?” “Well, he’s young.”</p>
<p>We use red for liberal, blue for conservative, green for green, orange for the New Democratic Party. And those are the important few.</p>
<p>I’ve heard people say that here too. But everyone here thinks John McCain is too liberal. Everyone went bonkers when Sarah Palin was nominated, because she is the best thing that happened to the campaign. Apparently she has a real conservative record, unlike McCain. I don’t get it. The phone analogy is precise, in my opinion.</p>
<p>By the way, on Tuesday I’m going to give a speech to my speech class about hyperinflation. We’ll see how this goes. I just figured that if I’m going to be an econ major, I’ll dabble now by giving a speech on hyperinflation. It’s a pretty straightforward concept, and it’s interesting. I get to start off with a story. Yay stories.</p>
<p>Tomorrow in my local paper, there will be a barrage of letters to the editor. The local paper covers six counties, and a couple of those went 70% to McCain. All of the counties in the coverage area went easily for McCain, while not always that drastically. So anyway, since the newspaper is a conservative one, the letters will all say things like “Obama will ruin our America” and “Obama has no experience; We will all die a slow, painful, overtaxed death.” There will also be some old man that writes in to say his McCain/Palin yard signs were either stolen or defaced.</p>
