Politics invades Rams locker room
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
As the players relaxed in the locker room at Rams Park before practice Thursday, there was much discussion of politics. Several offered critiques of Sarah Palin’s speech at the RNC, while Corey Chavous read aloud a Newsweek piece on the Bush Administration’s handling of the Iraq war. Several of his teammates were gathered around, perched on stools, listening intently.
All for now . . . more after practice.


In most elections you listen to what the candidates have to say and if you really want to know if they are telling the truth are doing lip service you CHECK their voting record. [public info] Unfortunately most of the campaign funding for either party comes from speacial interests so favors are owed. I am so tired of hearing I was a war hero and captive for 5 plus years. I was in Viet Nam and think he served his country honorably, but I can take my tour and 2 bucks and buy a cup of coffee. His experience and record from their tells me He was a phenomenal Naval officer but DOES NOT SAY HE IS THE NEXT GREAT LEADER. Republicans are not for the middle class go back and look at history they would like to have all of us living the company store life, For those that do not know what that means is 2 classes of people the very rich and the very poor. No Middle class at all. It is all for me and be nice and I mightgive you a crumb. Another example of this is the take over of Fannie May and Freddie Mack these to Ceos who got their companies in financial trouble are walking away with a combined 23 million dollars of our money, and the republicans are allowing this. Bottom line MOST politicians talk out of both sides of their mouths but not all wish to have us bent over and taking what ever they give JFK, BIll Clinton, Jimmy Cater and a good deal of the time Ronnie.Vote for the person not the party.
The posted statement about the Rams and Politics mentions nothing about the players views. Good! I watch the Rams for entertainment not political views, I go to a concert to hear the music not their political views (see Bono, Bruce). I respect the players right to freedom of speech but if I want their opinion, or yours, I’ll ask it.
