While I am the furthest thing from a political pundint, I actually have to make a comment that involves our current presidential election. It's a little complicated, so bear with me.
Let me say that yes, I do read some of the summaries of the political aspects of this election and previous ones, but I am surely not one that hangs on every word of these individuals. As I said initially on my facebook profile regarding political views, "None, they all suck."
Truth be told, I tend to lend my vote to the one I believe sounds the most human, and the least like a robotic teletype that is spewing the rhetoric the world wants to hear.
Most of this whole process is such a dog & pony show that it's almost unwatchable to the point of making your hair hurt.
Now that I got the background out of the way....
I was at my job tonight, doing my thing, and I heard John McCain's voice on television, congratulating Barack Obama for receiving the Democratic party's nomination for President.
While we all know there's an ulterior motive for McCain making this commercial, he didn't have to do it. I have to believe somewhere that there may be a SHRED of class with regard to this gesture on the part of Senator McCain.
I hope, well, wait, let me rephrase that, I would be surprised if when John McCain accepts the Republican nomination that the same gesture will be forthcoming from Senator Obama.
From the biggest politically inexperienced individual on the planet, I thought that gesture was close to unique. And for politicians, that's almost impossible to achieve.
I have my opinions on whom I will lend my support to, and that will remain with me, but I felt compelled to make a statement on this, because, for one brief moment, this process almost took on a human quality.
Which is outright stunning.
