Getting ridiculous...

More and more lies! I feel like the Grinch but instead of "noise" it is "All the lies! Lies! Lies! Lies!" And of course the Who's are the Republican candidates...but that is as far as I will take that analogy bc I love Dr. Seuss and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and I do not want to spoil that. I do not however, love that Ryan refuses to say that he was wrong in his statements on GM and others. Is that a clue into his character? I don't like it! Nobody should like it! Romney should be disappointed in Ryan as well! I mean they are blatant lies! Blatant "fabrications" to make the American people either believe him....or in my case become offended by Ryan basically calling us all idiots bc we would be dumb enough to fall for whatever he says in a speech bc it is well written. Nothing comes off more powerful or poignant than the truth. Why don't they tap into that!? Say something you plan on doing as President or VP! Make substantial claims as how to climb out of the deficit! Don't just throw around nonsensical BS like a monkey in a cage at the zoo! You discredit yourselves, you shame your political party and you embarrass the American people. Shame on you Ryan.
One can claim that he is not the head haunch-o...he is not the President....well, I hear ya there. And thank goodness for that! But look how well it turned out for McCain to choose a radical running mate! Granted Ryan is not as hilarious as Palin and will not make for the best comedy to date on Saturday Night Live bc of the awesome impersonations done by Tina Fey...oh, I miss that! (Gonna youtube that next). But he is an extremist in most cases of politics....he loves feeding into the unglued Republicans and their ridiculous need for bullying and escalating the lies to new heights. Maybe that is more embarrassing than an accent and rifle toting Mayor from Alaska. Embarrassing...but unfortunately not funny. . .
But this is...http://youtu.be/IE-OCDexYrU
Ah, memories! For this I am sorry! Republican candidates everywhere, I failed to acknowledge the ridiculousness which has created so much joy. So I say thank you Republican candidates...you have created joy in the world...though indirectly...nontheless we can credit no one else for....Palin.
And in keeping with the theme of my earlier analogy: Cue the music for Cindy Lou Who's "Where are you Christmas--music only.
"Where are you Palin? Why can't I find you? Why have you gone away? The channel is changing. I am no longer engaging..there is no humor aaaaaannnymooooore.The convention is here...but there is no SNL. The Convention is heeere but there is no SNL!"
I miss you Sarah Palin (impersonated by Tina Fey)! But you are not forgotten! I just hope this years convention is easily forgotten...by everyone including myself.

Quote of the day:

BYU commencement in 1972, President Brown counseled graduating students to “Strive to develop a maturity of mind and emotion and a depth of spirit which enables you to differ with others on matters of politics without calling into question the integrity of those with whom you differ. Allow within the bounds of your definition of religious orthodoxy variation of political belief. Do not have the temerity to dogmatize on issues where the Lord has seen fit to be silent.” He also warned, “beware of those who feel obliged to prove their own patriotism by calling into question the loyalty of others. Be skeptical of those who attempt to demonstrate their love of country by demeaning its institutions.”

And when you trust your television
What you get is what you got
Cause when they own the information
Oh, they can bend it all they want
John Mayer: "Waiting on the World to Change"

"Let us learn respect for others if we are to realize the abundant life. Man, by nature, is tempted to seek only his glory and not the glory of his neighbor or the glory of his God. None of us lives alone—in our city, our nation, or our world. There is no dividing line between our prosperity and our neighbor’s poverty."

-Thomas S Monson

Scripture of the day:

Scriptures to have in our hearts when we vote!

"That now at this time your abundance may be a supply for their want, that their abundance also may be a supply for your want: that there may be equality." — 2 Corinthians 8:14

"Renounce war and proclaim peace." — D&C 98:16

"And the Lord called his people Zion, because they were of one heart and one mind, and dwelt in righteousness; and there was no poor among them." — Moses 7:18

"Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction." — James 1:27

"Plead the cause of the poor and the needy." — D&C 124:75

"We do not believe it just to mingle religious influence with civil government, whereby one religious society is fostered and another proscribed in its spiritual privileges, and the individual rights of its members, as citizens, denied." — D&C 134:9

"And now, because of the steadiness of the church they began to be exceedingly rich, having abundance of all things whatsoever they stood in need—an abundance of flocks and herds, and fatlings of every kind, and also abundance of grain, and of gold, and of silver, and of precious things, and abundance of silk and fine-twined linen, and all manner of good homely cloth. And thus, in their prosperous circumstances, they did not send away any who were naked, or that were hungry, or that were athirst, or that were sick, or that had not been nourished; and they did not set their hearts upon riches; therefore they were liberal to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, whether out of the church or in the church, having no respect to persons as to those who stood in need." —Alma 1:29-30

Hel 4:12-13
12 And it was because of the ^apride of their hearts, because of their exceeding ^briches, yea, it was because of their oppression to the ^cpoor, withholding their food from the hungry, withholding their clothing from the naked, and smiting their humble brethren upon the cheek, making a ^dmock of that which was sacred, denying the spirit of prophecy and of revelation, murdering, plundering, lying, stealing, committing adultery, rising up in great contentions, and deserting away into the land of Nephi, among the Lamanites—

13 And because of this their great wickedness, and their ^aboastings in their own strength, they were left in their own strength; therefore they did not prosper, but were afflicted and smitten, and driven before the Lamanites, until they had lost possession of almost all their lands.
