A Mom's Perspective

The Gotham Gal sees the world differently than I do. I tend to stick to intellect. She's all emotion. Togther we are a great combo.

Here's her take on last night. She calls Wolfowitz a "Neocom". That's great!

But this is my favorite part. A mom's (or daughter's) view of the two guys:

One small thing at the end of the debates sort of summed up the difference between Kerry and Bush too. Bush made a reference to both their daughters and then remarked that he is having a hard time trying to control them. Kerry said he that is not what he chooses to do. Control your children at 21? Good luck. How about having respect for your children so you can have an open and communicative relationship? Bush's relationship with his daughter's sounds like the relationship he is having with our country.

This is almost the exact same point that Al Franken makes in one of his books: Conservatives love America like a 4 year old loves their parents (Mommy and Daddy can do no wrong and anyone who questions mommy and daddy is bad), but liberals love America like someone loves a partner, spouse, or long-time best friend (you recognize the faults in that person and you try to give them support in letting them become a better person).
