CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 28, 2020
THE TWO POLITICAL CONVENTIONS – SUCH AS THEY WERE – ARE OVER. BOTH PARTIES NOMINATED THEIR CANDIDATES FOR PRESIDENT AND VICE PRESIDENT. SPEAKERS AT EACH PARTY’S VIRTUAL CONVENTION SLAMMED THE OTHER PARTY AND ITS LEADERS AS UNABLE TO LEAD AMERICA. NOTHING NEW THERE. THEY’VE BEEN DOING IT FOR YEARS. I WONDER IF THEY REALLY MEAN IT?
I DOUBT IT. THEY HAVE TAKEN POLLS AND FOCUS GROUPS TO DETERMINE WHAT THEIR BASE AND CONTRIBUTORS WANT TO HEAR. HOW CYNICAL IS THAT? IT IS SO CYNICAL THAT IT HAS MADE ALL BUT THE MOST ACTIVIST AMONG US CYNICAL. POLITICIANS CHANGE POSITIONS TO ATTRACT VOTERS AND VOTES. THAT’S THEIR JOB. WHEN THEY ARE ELECTED, THEY SOMETIMES DO NOT LIVE UP TO THEIR PROMISES.
SPEAKERS AT THE REPUBLICAN CONVENTION SAID PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS LIVED UP TO HIS PROMISES AND THEY CLAIMED THAT THE DEMOCRATS WILL LIVE UP TO THEIRS TOO, CITING THEIR 100-PAGE PLATFORM THAT WOULD SPEND US INTO INSOLVENCY AND GUARANTEE JUDGES WHO WOULD WRITE THEIR OWN CONSTITUTION. THESE ARE NOT OPINIONS. INFORM YOURSELF AND SEE IF I AM RIGHT AND THEN INFORM YOUR NEIGHBORS AND FRIENDS AND VOTE LIKE THE FUTURE OF YOUR COUNTRY DEPENDS ON IT BECAUSE IT DOES. I’M CAL THOMAS.
