While many would seek paint all women seeking abortion with the same brush, in my lifetime, the women I’ve known who had them didn’t do so a form of birth control.

My issue with Palin are her extremist religious views. They do not relate to mainstream America. The whole Pentecostal thing is just bizarre also.

There were other far more and appealing candidates for VP, McCain’s choice of Palin is a real insult to intelligent voters. Talk about a lack of experience. I don’t know about all people, but Gov. Palin’s background is no where near being something I am familiar with as an average American, nor do I find her even the slightest bit qualified.

So I mispelled Lincoln. Glad you are here with your red pen to correct me- that is the best way to learn to spell. Sound it out doesn’t work, get it? I am ok with making spelling errors and then learning the correct way. So thanks.

Here’s one for you…Ever hear of Charles Darwin? The basic tenent of his work is the observation that a species has to adapt in order to survive. Now I know the majority of the Republican party is faith based so you may not *believe* in Darwin’s work and it’s that very refusal to adapt and observe what is going on outside of the egocentre that will lead to the eventual thinning out of the Republican Party.

Joanie, my apologies for being so bull headed and sarcastic. I mean nothing of a personal attack on you, I guess I “see red” when well, when I see Red as in the Color of the Republican Party. I think we both have the same kind of ideals at the heart of it. Im sure we both want to live in a safe, prosperous and clean nation with excellent education and health care where we can feel confident that our government is looking out for all of our interests and that they are serving the people as they are intended to do.

But clearly, we can’t remain impartial forever, at some point we have to vote. While I was a pretty big fan of McCain and certainly NOT decided, I admit, I was absolutely swayed by the visionary nature of Obama. Change for changes sake is not necessarily a good thing, but going backwards isn’t acceptable either.

I can not and will not vote for a candidate who does not support some very inherent beliefs I feel strongly about. Palin was a terrible choice and I feel her choice as VP was politically motivated and not about the substance of her character or her ability to lead this country. McCain is a maverick, but a maverick who can’t make quality decisions in matters of importance isn’t any wiser than a man touting change for changes sake.

So there’s my two cents.

EastAnon, sorry, your vagueness eludes me.

While it’s obvious that we do not agree on politics (and that’s okay with me since it takes all kinds to make the world an interesting place), I will point out that I’ve never resorted to name calling just because we don’t agree. But you have.

I’ll not bother with this any longer because it’s apparent you don’t want actual discussion, just “ever hear of” or “liars, liars, liars” without much substantiation. And actually, I really wasn’t looking to discuss this with anyone other than D. I know her and I was hoping to talk to her about it. Not people who resort to name-calling the minute they’re challenged by an observation.

You’re right. It is much better to put the nations future in hands of proven liars and narrowminded people then in the hands of someone who can see beyond his own frontyard.

If what you are saying is common sense, i lack it. And i’m glad i do.

So, yeah. That’s blockhead thinking. Right. That’s called common sense.
