The post-GOP convention live blog was about as I expected. All of the Republicans showed up and the liberal section was very thinly represented as was the case previously. I was really honestly afraid of just getting ran over by them… that I’d make stupid comments, not say anything important, and generally get nothing positive accomplished.
But based on their reactions, like this one: “Yes, but I must say Nicky is more eloquent and rational than most liberals,” I really attribute it to the fact that they haven’t really floated their viewsto anyone but those who they agree with. I may have been outgunned in numbers, but it felt like I could at least hold the line and try to show them my views on the world. I suddenly have realized I don’t know why you would care about this, but I impressed myself.
It was like this, but with typing.
Our local newspaper put together a bunch of people of different political affiliations into a “sounding baord” of issues and topics that are relevant to those who live in this nation, state and on West Puget Sound in particular. After the Obama nomination speech and their “live blog,” only the 30+ Republican side bothered to show up. After the fact, I was invited to join as an ultra-liberal student to give youth and some much needed balance.
I’m not sure how I really feel about this.
