Random Rambling: More Political Commentary

Another thing I noticed about the VP debate: They spent half of it on “foreign policy issues”, which basically meant Iraq. The media seems to spend a lot of time on it, which may be part of the reason it seems that many people care about it. However, the war just isn’t that big an issue to me. Perhaps it’s a little naïve of me, but I have faith that our government and military is doing the best they can. I think that they know what they’re doing.

Much more important to me are domestic moral issues, like stopping abortion, stem-cell research, and gay marriage. I was disappointed that they weren’t covered much in the debate.

(Then again, it probably doesn’t make for good television: One person says they support one thing, and other says they oppose it, and that’s just about it. They’re not going to convince any undecided person of anything by arguing about it. Those who care about those issues can look up the candidates’ opinions fairly easily.)

But maybe I’m just a part of the moral minority.
