Well hello there my little conservative chickadees. Its been a while so bare with me while I wipe off the dust.

We are only 3 weeks away and its getting CRAZY out there. I am not sure if its that Im old enough to understand, more educated or just overly cranky but this is the first election where I have felt that I am battling everyday with family, friends and even co-workers.

Election Fever is in the air...and oddly enough I am enjoying the arguments because frankly all the above need to hear the truths and not what the media perceives and reports as truth.

With that being said.. there was something that caught my eye this morning.... an article discussing....

The Memorandum of Understand which ultimately controls these debates we watch.. what do you think? Should we know the contents .. does it matter?

Here is the gist in tidbits complimentary of Betty.

"The memorandum of understanding is a vital part of the 2008 election and the democratic process. However, both campaigns have refused to divulge the memorandum's contents. Such a stance is antithetical to the fundamental American notion of transparency in government. For the good of the country, the rules of the presidential debate should be released immediately."

"There is historical precedent for releasing the memorandum. In 2004, the Bush and Kerry campaigns consented to the memorandum's release before the debates. No cataclysm resulted. Rather, there was a healthy discussion of the agreement between the campaigns, and voters were able to understand the restrictions the candidates had placed on themselves."

"Both McCain and Obama talk about change in Washington and reform on Wall Street. McCain calls for an end to secretive earmarks; Obama criticizes the lack of oversight in the bailout package. The path to new, principled and transparent governance begins with the immediate release of the memorandum of understanding before Wednesday's debate. If these campaigns are truly committed to transparency and the rule of law, they should start where it counts: at home."

Your thoughts?? Does it even matter at this point?
