If I didn’t do this, the next twelve days would be all election, all the time at MotherReader. So I’ve accepted an invitation to join and post at YA for Obama. I’ve put up a new post today and uploaded two videos. (Not my own — don’t be silly.) Anyway, come on by if you need a place to read, talk, vent, and connect. You’re invited.
I think you should really use this post only for Children's literature and open another blog for your personal believes/views; otherwise you will offend some of your readers.
ReplyDeleteLovestampmom, I've always mixed in a little bit of my personal stuff - politics, family, stuff that made me laugh - in my blog. It's just lately as this election becomes all I think about that I've discovered YA for Obama as a secondary outlet. I'm sure that after the election my political stuff will be much, much less frequent.
ReplyDeleteI will say that I've tried not to offend my readers by not attacking the Republican policy issues. There are many that I disagree with, but there I feel that everyone has the right to their own belief system. What has made me mad - and I hope is making some Republican supporters mad - is the campaign.
Seasoned, national experience is a legitimate issue for choosing McCain, but is devalued when traded-in for an unqualified vice-presidential candidate. Running an honorable campaign spoke to the candidate's own integrity, but supporting a campaign of divisiveness is not helping him or the Republican party. I know that putting these things on my blog was to vent to like-minded people, but at the same time I hold out some hope that it will inspire people who do consider themselves Republicans to question the campaign and the direction on of the Party.
