Now I remember why I’d previously avoided watching anything except “highlights” from a political party’s National Convention… It’s like watching an extended version of a low budget television advertisement. They’re over-hyped and largely populated by people who shouldn’t be speaking in public. At least, that’s my impression as I half-heartedly watch the Democratic National Convention on C-SPAN this afternoon.

Unfortunately, I’ve never been particularly impressed with politics. It feels all too often like nothing more than organized lying.

When I do a mental tally of the causes and activities I support, I am more liberal than conservative, yet I cringe at both labels. Who will I vote for in November? The real question comes in two parts — Will I vote, and if so, Whom will I vote against?
