I thought for a moment that I might actually switch parties in order to vote for him b/c he really did seem "different" in a good way and you are right. He has been hijacked by the conservative right and now he's paying a huge price, I can tell you that one small bit of it is that I wouldn't vote for him. Thanks for your balanced portrait. Don't see a lot of that these days.bernthishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05905337047538489562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32810564.post-61318274365316515682008-10-22T14:50:00.000-04:002008-10-22T14:50:00.000-04:00"sentence" I hate when I hit publish before spell ..."sentence" I hate when I hit publish before spell check.miko564https://www.blogger.com/profile/04352723733899123281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32810564.post-764810092859892632008-10-22T14:48:00.000-04:002008-10-22T14:48:00.000-04:00K- See, this is why I have problems with the name-...K- See, this is why I have problems with the name-calling and bullshit. We may not agree, but I wouldn't know it boiled down to a true fear for the financial well-being of your family if we were screaming epithets.<BR/><BR/>Laggin- Yeah, I feel like he may have sold his soul on this one. <BR/><BR/>DCD- Measured and adult?! Well to hell with you too! How very cruel of you....LOL.<BR/><BR/>Cii- I shall try to use Rasspecthole in a sentance everyday until it becomes a part of the lexicon! <BR/><BR/>I agree, that someone can be a rasspecthole. It is the ease with which reasonable people start spewing hateful rhetoric while discussing politics that bothers me.miko564https://www.blogger.com/profile/04352723733899123281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32810564.post-62825474661816175582008-10-22T13:57:00.000-04:002008-10-22T13:57:00.000-04:00Or "asspect", cuz Frank did see the world from a c...Or "asspect", cuz Frank did see the world from a certain aspect.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13151264293573254738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32810564.post-14619428726368911032008-10-22T13:18:00.000-04:002008-10-22T13:18:00.000-04:00Edit:*Rasspecthole.That's better.Edit:<BR/>*Rasspecthole.<BR/><BR/>That's better.cIIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02758912891421225305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32810564.post-91820345318108988342008-10-22T12:24:00.000-04:002008-10-22T12:24:00.000-04:00Oh, I think you can be an Asshole and still be Res...Oh, I think you can be an Asshole and still be Respected.

And for those reasons, I can see your call for respect. I do respect him for those actions. But as laggin pointed out - he seems to be a different man today. Nothing that he will say or do will change my vote. <BR/><BR/>I'm honestly just so tired of it all - I wish it was finished already.DKChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06564455767137872485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32810564.post-14390454770199178442008-10-22T09:11:00.000-04:002008-10-22T09:11:00.000-04:00You know, I really respect that old McCain.

One of the few posts that I've read that gets it's point across - without calling everyone else an idiot for not believing the same thing you do.<BR/><BR/>I respect Obama, I really do. And I DO think that this country needs a change...a big one. However, we will be voting for McCain (first time I've ever told anyone that)<BR/><BR/>Sometimes it can be a very simple thing...and in our case...The democratic party is interested in housing ALL jobs "in house" for the Federal Government. My husband is currently a contractor...and if he lost his job...well, I just don't know what we would do.minivan soapboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993086778700756064noreply@blogger.com
