OK, Ecomike, I'll apoligize for the name calling. Not my normal habit. I understand reacting to the negative comments about Obama. I guess I'd rather hear you make a negative reference to McCain, where we know where your coming from, than representing that you really think computer use or some of the other things you've posted are real issues.
It does seriously bother me that there are pics floating around that Obama didn't put his hand over his heart when addressing the flag or National Anthem. Why? Has anyone heard an explanation for this?
At face value I like Obama. I like that he has motivated people about making our country better, about giving people vision and renewed interest and hope about our government. Real or percieved, those are good things in my view. Unfortunately, while he's a good spearker, and might be a good leader, he hasn't done much other than talk. He also had come up through the ranks of the party by sticking to the party line......not bucking the system, not showing any of the tendancy for change that he talks so fluently about. I also don't like how he blatently throws around skewed statistics, but that's pretty much like all politicians do. Also, unfortunately, he's just on the wrong side of too many issues that are important to me, so I won't vote for him. We like to talk about voting for the person, but most of us really vote for the issues.
I could care less about Democrat or Republican, or the terms liberal or conservative. It just works out that the positions I hold are more generally represented by Republicans and conservatives. Actually, in this forum, for as much time as we have to give to it, it would be interesting to discuss issues than it would be to banter back and forth about candidates.
