When any political race occurs, you can expect a lot of competition. That's fine. But all of this bickering between each candidate this year is a little out of control. All I see on those TV commercials is each candidate bashing their opponent. Not focusing on the real issues that are occurring. All they seem to be doing is criticizing each other. One thing's for sure: I'm glad we only have a little more than a month of hearing these ridiculous ads.
Now let's move onto the center of attention right now: Linda McMahon. When I first saw that article about WWE removing some "edgier" footage from their computers, I knew there would be issues. I knew it. And now look what's happened. It's hard not to know about it. It's all over the news:
Huffington Post
Fox News
Washington Post
Journal Inquirer http://www.journalinquirer.com/articles/2012/09/24/page_one/doc50606ccfcd5cb690821897.txt
New Haven Register
I don't want to waste space on the blog, so I only listed some of the laundry list of articles anyone can easily find using the power of Google. Just about every news station has covered it in some way. I certainly wouldn't want to walk in Linda's shoes right now.
At times like these, the question surfaces about whether politicians' backgrounds really matter that much. I don't have a firm stance on this issue; I've been flip-flopping constantly with my opinion. It's 100% possible that tomorrow I'll feel different about it. But for now, I think that backgrounds do matter. How are you going to vote for someone if you don't know where they come from? That's basically saying that you don't know who they are, yet you're voting for them. In this case, background really matters. Yes, all people make mistakes, ones that they may regret later on. That's not wrong; we're only humans afterall. But when you're famous, whether a celebrity or politician or anything else, you really have to watch every step you take.
Personally, I don't like the way this is going. I think Linda is trying to be sneaky about this whole thing, but with modern communication, that's very hard. I don't know a whole lot about what occurred behind closed doors, but I know Linda isn't innocent. She is probably a stereotypical Republican, who cares more about her money than anything or anyone else. She's definitely demonstrated it. I'm not worshiping Chris Murphy, but I'm not on Linda's side either. She's definitely trying to win this race, as Katherine Perez said the race is like "two rats going for the big cheese".
It's going to be a tough race to the end, and I'm going to do my best to follow it. I want to know: What is your take on this issue? Who is in the wrong here? Is it anyone's fault? Do people's pasts really matter that much?
