They set up interactive websites asking for ideas and suggestions. As you can imagine, some dunderheads used the sites to be abusive without being helpful, however, a whole lot more siezed the opportunity to contribute. We may be jaded and wonder if it's all a con or political manoeuvering but where is the sense in ignoring it? If we don't try, nothing will happen. As it is, some of the suggestions are coming into practice. Nice to see so many people in Britain standing up and being counted. Needless to say I contributed my threepen'th...well more like 10 quid's worth really!Views from Malmesburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00791860888782679096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103431102665816109.post-44375499832724452432010-03-30T22:45:47.928-04:002010-03-30T22:45:47.928-04:00Hello, I'm finishing NaNoEdMo so I just got ar...Hello, I'm finishing NaNoEdMo so I just got around to checking in. First, I haven't joined either party bcz they both bother me and I don't trust them at all. Second, I like a Vice-Pres candidate who is a good speaker but considering some of Biden's moments, neither was choosen as the primary speaker. If Palin runs on the ability to balance a budget, which is a rarity for politicians and something she did in Alaska, I'll give it serious consideration.<br />In general, over the past 10 years, I've watched the deterioration of civil behavior in the Senate, the Congress and the media reporting it. Wouldn't it be nice if they pretended to be grown ups?<br />KPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103431102665816109.post-41747215802242490162010-03-29T22:52:13.788-04:002010-03-29T22:52:13.788-04:00Oh thank you thank you thank you for saying what I...Oh thank you thank you thank you for saying what I've been thinking...I've been far too passive about this whole thing, living in a conservative area and not wanting to irritate people. But maybeI should start to do it--to call them on their ignorance and demand where they got their information from. <br /><br />And I really hope that Mrs. Palin becomes so enamoured of the Alaskan wilderness in her new reality show that she sets up a yurt and lives there forever. That would be okay.Nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05920700810347852037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5103431102665816109.post-39653775227917933342010-03-28T14:33:02.242-04:002010-03-28T14:33:02.242-04:00Well said!!Well said!!inflammatory writhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923322007776358065noreply@blogger.com
