Political Blogs

I believe that Mr. Kiskas presentation helped me a lot on how blogs work. He presented how blogs are started and which ones are reliable. He also told us some sites for blogs that are based primarily on politics and the upcoming election. My personal favorite that he told us about was the "forum blogs." I really liked americanthinker.com The reason I like these kinds of blogs is because people can add to the topic you are discussing. People might say, "well can't you just write comments on peoples blogs so they will see it?" The thing about that is not everybody will read the comments. It is more likely that somebody will read what you wrote in the forum if you following up on the specific topic. Another reason why I liked this one is because anybody can place their opinion on the subject. You can add pictures, videos, and even songs. The forum blogs start up a lot of discussion faster than regular blogs do. It is very interesting to read the debate that is going on between a republican and a democrat. These kinds of blogs might not be as reliable as most political blogs, but it gets you the information you want to hear about quicker than other blogs. My personal favorite forum entries has to be the ones about Sarah Palin. A lot of people are saying she's the anti-christ and the total opposite of what we need in office. I actually think she is exactly what we need to help assist our president. She gets right down to business and doesn't linger around certain topics. She gets right to the point which doesn't question her qualification for the job.

Although I may not vote for McCain and Palin [or even Obama and Biden], I don't believe Palin is the anti-Christ as many believe she is. She is also judged too much, but ironically enough, she does look a lot like Tina Fey if you ask me! But I agree with you solely with her getting straight to the point.

I agree with the idea that forums are a better way of communicating. It does provide an easier way to speak your opinion on things.

I also agree that Sarah Palin is a good running mate for John McCain.
