I consider you a good friend too...and in the spirit of not messing up the other board with politics I came over here to say a couple of things....
first, I see you're not likely voting for McCain and definitely not voting for Obama so I got curious to find out just who you ARE voting for if anybody. Barr? Nader? ???
And the only other point I wanted to make is...I've been watching and listening to this most important election in our lifetimes VERY CLOSELY AND CAREFULLY. Much more than most I'm absolutely sure.
I support Obama without reservation, but that's not based on some blind loyalty to the Dem party or a blind hatred of all things Republican, McCain or Palin either.
I support him because what he is saying makes sense to me. Because I believe he means what he says. Because I think he can make these things happen and will make them happen. Because he's really, honestly on the side of the people and not big business. And because we need somebody like him NOW.
I hope eventually you come to see what I'm seeing in him. I didn't come by my position lightly or automatically.
Anyway...I'm glad you're sounding like you're going to take a break from the political boards. Doesn't seem like anything is getting accomplished over there. People are just screaming at each other and not hearing what the other is saying so it's really a pointless exercise that will only get you a headache or god-forbid, another heart attack.
McBUSHIE'S choice of Palin was irresponsible, dangerous and insulting to America's intelligence. That choice and his continuing smears/lies prove he'll do anything to win this election even to the point of endangering his own country.DEFEAT HIM!
