"These relatable, emotional but policy vapid speeches bore me to tears"

She wasn't there to drone on and on about policy. She could have, with her background and degrees. But she wasn't there to do that. She was there to show the rest of the country that her family is just as normal, or in cases like McCain's, more normal, and traditionally American as everyone elses in this country.

I understand the purpose, I'm not trying to downplay the role of relatability, being able to portray yourself as an average joe, or the "guy I'd like to have a beer with" effect in securing an election win. I'm just saying that I'm awfully averse to manufactured, demographic pandering speeches regardless of which side of the political sphere it comes from.

^ I think you're looking for Cindy McCain's stolen recipes for neocon cookies: mix 1 part coal, 10 parts oil, 3 parts American blood, 100 parts Iraqi blood, a dash of shredded $100 bills, and all the carbon dioxide you could want.

Mix together for 30 long years, and serve on a bed of shredded Constitution.

Enjoy!
