Dear Readers,
About 45 minutes ago, I shook Mitt Romney's hand. It was cool. I've been a Mitt Romney fan for a long time, so it was great to finally see him in person. He seems like a great man.
I shook his hand after a campaign event in the Mesa High School auditorium this morning... There was a big crowd of people around him, wanting autographs and pictures taken, and I had to wait around for about 10 minutes to see him.
But when I did finally get close to him and stuck out my hand, I smiled at him, and said "Thanks for coming," and he said something like, "Thank you yes nice to see you yes," and moved on. He was sort of talking to a lot of people at once, you see.
It was pretty exciting seeing John McCain and Mitt Romney in real life. It reminded me that they were both just two men, who put their pants on one leg at a time.
But I got pretty frustrated at the event because Romney and McCain were not very specific. I don't know what McCain's platform really is... I mean, John McCain said he wanted to build a fence along the US-Mexico border, and get the economy moving again, and fight Obama-care, and preserve the secret ballot for employees who are voting on unionizing, and make the government smaller... all great stuff, but... why hasn't he fought harder for that stuff all this time he's been a Senator?
Not one time did McCain say, "This is how I'm different than JD Hayworth," and give concrete reasons why he's a better candidate. In fact, JD Hayworth's name wasn't brought up once, either by the speakers or the audience members who asked questions. What's up with that?
I wanted to stand up and ask him, "Are you going to debate JD Hayworth any time soon?" But only a few questions got to be asked, and there weren't a lot of great answers... you know how politicians are.
I like JD Hayworth because he actually compares and contrasts his views with McCain's views, and his voting record vs. McCain's voting record.
OK I gotta go to work and make giant movie screens. See you later.
Vote JD Hayworth!
Sincerely,
Telemoonfa

Today in one of my classes we had a discussion on whether each of us thought we were politically engaged or not. I thought of you and your blog and realized that I need to be more active in my beliefs.
That's cool! I don't know how long my political activism will last. Maybe it's just a phase. Maybe I'll get jaded and disillusioned by politics one of these days, but so far my involvement in politics has been a very long phase.
I'm glad you're involved with politics! yay!
I wish I could shake Romney's hand. that'd be cool.
