Well, I’m sorry I’ve delayed in posting, but my crazy law student life got to me for a while. But now that we’re revving up for the election with the first debate coming up on Friday, I simply cannot put off posting any longer. Although my entry today won’t be substantive (trust me, it not like I don’t have material on the GOP), I just wanted to “introduce” myself and say that I’ll be pulling most of my material from the debates themselves. I want to be fair to both candidates and their running mates and editorialize on what they’ve said – not what the media says they’ve said.
In the meantime, I want to personally thank the Republican party and George W. Bush for the financial crisis we find ourselves in right now – especially as some of my friends and peers, incredibly qualified – struggle to secure employment in this FANTASTIC market. Looks like all those years of “No Child Left Behind” and “investing” in the future, coupled with fiscally “conservative” policies have created an atmosphere where America’s youth can shine. Again, kudos!!!
Mission Statement
Two friends, meeting every Tuesday to learn Italian, were inspired to start this blog after they spent most of their session talking about the upcoming, 2008 U.S. Presidential election. Thus, the Italian name of the blog, "I Politici Falsi" (the fake politicians), refers not to the Italian political arena, but rather the fusion of our love for the Italian language with our concern for US politics (and the fate of this country after the election).
The purpose of this blog is to provide an open forum to those who care about the 2008 U.S. Election. It is also to urge those who might not care to start thinking about why they should and hopefully encourage them to participate, not only in these "debates", but in the election itself. The 2008 U.S. election is an extremely significant one for our generation. Why do you ask? Just a few examples that will affect the rest of our lives include: a war that we started and are still involved in, a crashing economy, and a deteriorating U.S. image abroad when we are in a more-than-ever global world. So, we have invited numerous contributors from all over the political spectrum to post entries regarding their perspectives. Please have your educated say. And kids, let's keep it classy.
